The swift, lockstep attempt to dehumanize and villainize Renee Nicole Good might be the most depraved thing we've seen yet from these ghouls and their supporters. These people are utterly fucking dead inside.

The right-wing bullshit machine is operating at full steam & across all cylinders today, strategically framing the horrific ICE killing of a MN woman to defend/bolster their political aims. For exampe, Trump's message (below) will shape how his supporters (willfully mis)interpret the video evidence.
Trump: "I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting ... "

Self-proclaimed mayoral candidate Bradford votes to save $50K by not providing water to the homeless in the summer.
Holyday's motion to discontinue a grant program that provides bottled water to homeless people FAILS 3-22.

I think Holyday is hosting the ghost of Rob Ford
Councillor Stephen Holyday has a motion to eliminate a $50,000-a-year program to give bottled water to homeless people.

Councillor ignores the backlash of hundreds of transit users to worry about theoretical backlash of a few drivers delayed a few seconds from turning left.
