She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.
They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

Thanks to @maddow.bsky.social for getting Paul Rieckhoff on tonight to talk about Venezuela. This conversation is needed so much more than the same, tired voices from electeds who are either talking about themselves, trying to sound tough while simultaneously saying nothing, or both.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

Attention NYC: We made it past the earliest sunset of the year.
No, it's not on the solstice. That's the shortest day, but the earliest sunset is sooner and the latest sunrise is later.
So those of us who, like me, are primarily offended by early sunsets have officially survived rock bottom.

Thank you to my friends at Tacugama Sanctuary in Sierra Leone for spotting this orphaned baby chimp on Facebook and rushing out to rescue her.
She’s now in safe hands at the Tacugama Sanctuary where she will be raised by hand alongside other chimps.
They’ve named her Linda.
