A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Derek Chauvin argued that he didn't murder George Floyd because his use of force was authorized. Chauvin was rightfully sentenced to 22.5 years in prison. Hope this ICE thug gets at least that much.
Q: How do you respond to people who say what you're saying is in direct contradiction to the video?

NOEM: This vehicle was used to hit this officer. It was used as a weapon. And the officer feels as though his life was in jeopardy

Abolishing ICE ain't enough. Prosecutions or GTFO

Feels like a good time to remind everyone that Ashleigh Babbit was trying to break into the Capital to harm US Congress members, was repeatedly warned to back off, was shot only as a last resort, and her family was given $4M dollars by the Trump administration this year
In the video in the post, you can see that the officer can clearly get out of the way of the vehicle, at first doesn't, pulls his firearm and continues to shoot as the driver has already driven past him. bsky.app/profile/bnon...
NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

Three things can be true at once:

1) Maduro was a horrible dictator and Venezuela benefits from removing him
2) Supporting the US illegally kidnapping leaders for regime change is a bad idea
3) Spheres of influence hurt small countries and we should not want that

Anyone freaking out about Trump kidnapping Maduro, it's been well established by now that all Maduro has to do is cut a check and Trump will pardon him like he did Honduran president Juan Hernandez

Been a while since I was in the 8th grade but I seem to recall needing authorization from Congress to invade a sovereign nation and kidnap its president

Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.
Majority of Gen Z swipe left on dating people with opposite political views

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later

Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked

ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.

Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.

"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.

"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

I was going to post Elisabeth Moss talking about how “Fred Armisen’s greatest impression is that of a normal person” but when I looked it up to get the wording right I learned AI has somehow turned it from being a scathing post divorce condemnation to being a really nice complement

This is not a fascist regime.

It's a bunch of clowns trying to copy Putin and failing.

Woman comes to US at age 6. Graduates nursing school. Work permit. No criminal record. Snatched and imprisoned by ICE for 6 months now. About to be forced back to Honduras. A life destroyed and one less nurse. Merry Christmas.
