A Trump regime thug shot an unarmed civilian in the face at point blank range with a kinetic impact projectile, leaving him permanently blind and with shrapnel in his eye and skull for life. The 21 year old, Kaden Rummler, barely survived the attempted murder. #3E #GoodvsEvil

Incredibly, Kemi Badenoch believes that supporting far right racists who, lest we forget, want mass deportation of all immigrants (especially black and brown ones), will mean they will be happy to vote for a party led by a black woman who was raised in Nigeria.
I mean, it's a strategy, I suppose.

Kemi Badenoch refusing to acknowledge that Tommy Robinson is "far-right", now on LBC, and refusing to condemn Elon Musk's words. In fact she says what Musk said *isn't* incitement. So what would be incitement then? How violent would his words have to be before he was deemed a threat to this country?

Just last week in Davos, the Belgian PM clearly said how naive Europe was to relinquish control & hand its infrastructure over to outside actors. It seems here in Germany we, too, finally got the fax.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.
