I noticed the New York Times omitted the “fucking bitch” line from their story on yesterday’s video. Normalized misogyny, as @milleridriss.bsky.social argues in her book Man Up, smooths the path toward violence.
We know just about everything we need to know by the last two words issued by the agent-or by a man nearby- on his cellphone video: “Fucking bitch.”

Empirical data shows Idaho is becoming more and more sympathetic to immigrants as hostility from policymakers ramps up. The findings challenge the narrative often pushed by policymakers that Idaho supports more anti-immigrant policies.

Oh and by the way, the reason I know the names Coon, Powell, Briseno, and Wind (which I do, off the top of my head) is that I vowed to never call them the "Rodney King Riots" because what did Rodney King have to do with it? Why does he get named and the perpetrators don't?

I was watching other fires in CA when it started. When I got worried I sent her this message 🔥👀
We talked.
Soon after I said "shit gonna be cray cray fast" only moments later I told them to evacuate.
