The “if she had complied, she’d still be alive” line that we’re hearing from ICE defenders is the mantra of apologists for security forces in dictatorships through the ages.

Khamenei transported gold to Russia via Russian military transport planes.

From Dec 27 to Jan 1, planes disguised as civilian aircraft flew regular flights from Mineralnye Vody to Tehran.

So they flew over the Caucasus to avoid NATO airspace.

Looks like the Ayatollah is going to flee to Moscow.

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up.

Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire

"The maximum time a prisoner can spend on remand is 182 days (six months). Yet Muraisi and Ahmed were arrested in November 2024, and are not due to be tried until June at the earliest, which means they will be remanded for 20 months."

Shameful.

Russia is killing Ukrainians every day: burying us under the rubble of our homes, killing us on our streets, burning us alive in our cars. In offices, cafes, churches, kindergartens, and hospitals. Every day. All the time.

It happens so often, it doesn’t even make the news anymore.

The best part about this is the DHS is going to claim this ghoul was "doxxed" or some shit when in reality the murderer got his name leaked by both the DHS secretary and Vance because none of them can ever shut the fuck up.

There’s also the problem of the simultaneous domineering demands for subservience & the concurrent claim that ICE agents are traumatized whittle babies who “fear for their lives” and need to have their feelings considered. Are they big, mean, scary bullies or sensitive children? You can’t have both.

One of the (several) problems with the demand that bystanders and targeted people be immediately compliant with ICE agents is that fleeing ICE is incredibly rational. They’re violent, piggish thugs who disappear some people into horrendous gulags and shoot others in the face.

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

It’s time for governments to take action. Elon Musk’s X should have been banned long ago. They don’t have an excuse to delay any longer.

It's not exactly new, but it is bloody disturbing how we live in a day and age where you have video evidence of a woman being shot in cold blood, multiple eye witnesses saying she was shot in cold blood, and you still have people claiming it was Renee Good's fault for being shot in cold blood. 1/2
