In Minnesota, Alex Pretti was shot 10 times from close range AFTER being disarmed. It was not even an execution; it was an orgy of violence by a large group of men on one victim. The US executive government has descended into depravity.

it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns

My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade.
Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents.

Turn the world upside down, tank global markets, piss off our allies only to learn that you had the deal all along based on a 75 year old treaty that one of your predecessors had the foresight to negotiate. #artofthedeal

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.

we've reached the 'Bellingcat investigations in your country' part of the authoritarian program
Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

We’re in an era of back-yardism. Trump’s takeover of Venezuela & maybe Greenland means he can’t logically object to Putin’s desire to take back Ukraine in Russia’s back-yard, or Xi grabbing Taiwan. The US, once the world’s moral super-power, shrinks to policeman for the Americas.

At least you could sort of go. Ah man. They blew up our office buildings (who hasn’t wished that for their own office buildings so they didn’t have to go into work). And bush went ham on another continent. Nup. Dumb airbrushed cunt just stole a man from another country.
