BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts.
From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

"The aim is to send a clear and unified message of respect for Greenland's democracy," organisers said.

Pentagon says it will ‘refocus’ Stars and Stripes content
The Pentagon suggested it would take over editorial decision making for Stars and Stripes, which has long retained independence under a congressional mandate.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

It’s wild how little attention this story has gotten.
This report from Fox doesn’t mention that the killer was enraged that one of the girls had dissed Charlie Kirk, nor the fact that he laughed about it on a stream after cops questioned him but didn’t make an arrest.

Alleged stalker detained then released after girls’ hit-and-run deaths, arrested days later: officials
A 17-year-old charged with murdering two girls in New Jersey was allegedly detained for a short time on Monday before he was arrested on Wednesday.

Plenary power means they can do whatever they want to whomever they want. That is their ultimate goal. Beware.
Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.
It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

NEW: We interviewed nine Venezuelan men who were sent to CECOT by the Trump administration.
Some said their feelings about what happened were still raw.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”
