The truth exists outside of your horserace both sides bullshit partisan media games.
Report the truth.
Not just the battle over predominant media narratives.
Do your JOB as journalists, in other words.
An unarmed american citizen was massacred in the street by Trumpist thugs.
That is what occurred.

Don't let MAGA warp the language.
The people of Minnesota are the actual conservatives. They want to go on living their life as they were a few months ago.
It's MAGA/ICE that is forcing unwanted radical change on them.

If you’re feeling helpless amidst the ongoing horrors being perpetrated by ICE… engage in mutual aid.
Donate to someone in need. Give to a community library or food bank.
You could also help Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held by ICE for a year.
His story is often forgotten:

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE
Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

It feels appropriate that the best reporting from The Atlantic and The New York Times has been by seasoned war reporters who understand the stakes and, by extension, the need to protect sources or sensitive information.

The sacrosanct status of the 2nd Amendment, that means we have to constantly put up with bloody mass shooting events as the price for the right to bear arms, is now being endangered by the same people that claimed it was sacrosanct.

Kristi Noem has been an abject failure leading the Department of Homeland Security for the last year – and the abuses of power we’re seeing from ICE are the latest proof that she has lost control over her own department and staff. 🧵

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

ICE and Trump have fully lost control of any narrative. Because all anyone saw yesterday was a bunch of insecure incels killing a man for being everything that is seen as what makes a good man.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Don’t mistake ICE agents for trained law enforcement professionals, and while I have no sympathy for them getting an earful wherever they go, the administration is also setting them up for utter failure—like North Korea sending troops to Ukraine..
