So many of the impulses of traditional media and the people who run those institutions are not suited for the times we are living through right now. IDK what it takes to change that.
By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

I can only speak for myself here but, ya know, I really fucking hate this guy.
Trump: "ICE is gonna be too rough with somebody. They're gonna make a mistake sometimes. I felt horribly when I was told the young woman had the tragedy. But when I learned her father is - I hope he still is, but I don't know - was a tremendous Trump fan. It's terrible. It's so sad. It just happens"

Director Gus Van Sant is back with his first feature film in seven years. The mostly uncomplicated true crime potboiler features a performance by Al Pacino in which he sounds "like an ambien’d-up Foghorn Leghorn."

Councilor Ryan says he has to be "a voice for those who are voiceless" on this city council, which is a wild rhetorical position given the Owendoff news that just came out and validated everything we already more or less knew about him

I don’t believe in gun violence but I do believe this pig should be gutted on live television.
Vance: “When you look at all angles of that video, it is very clear that our vehicle went right for the guy. She actually collided with him, and then that's, of course, when he fired his shots. That's obvious.”

A few hundred people are gathered in downtown portland to protest the Trump administration’s attack on Venezuela. A broad coalition of groups is present. Maybe 350 people here so far.

I don’t have anything to add to the horror, beyond that people seem to be surprised that he did this and will definitely face no accountability, as if this didn’t happen 23 years ago and one of the guys to blame died old, rich, and happy very recently.
