Imagine having Trump point at you - you specifically - and say "fuck you" - again, fuck *you* specifically - twice in one day, and then he caps it off by flicking you off in front of everyone. The stuff of legends tbh

yes, his training is to shoot first, ask questions later. his training is to be a violent bully. his training is to react without thinking. so yeah, he followed his training. ICE is bad at the root. abolish it
DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin claims the officer who killed Renee Good "followed his training. He was in fear for his life. He was in fear for the law enforcement officers around his lives. And that's when he followed his training and this situation turned deadly."

In the Inferno, Dante claims that a human being can commit a sin so grievous that their soul is immediately pulled down to the deepest layer of hell, & a demon takes control of their body until they die.

That’s what happens to every ICE agent when they sign their contract. There’s no soul left.
ICE beat a U.S. Marine Veteran, telling her: “Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch!”

Look I know that “diversity is our strength” is cringe but: diversity is our strength. People who come from distinct cultural practices actively serving in community with one another. What a blessing to live in a world where that happens.
The thing about all these people they hate — the Somalis, the Haitians — are some of the most generous people you’ve ever met. Whose cultures are predicated on hospitality, whose kindness is entirely unmatched.

One of the reasons I push back as hard as I do on "cities are scary" nonsense is that I do not accept the view that we should treat unfounded fears as legitimate, and we have too long indulged the unfounded, racist fears of conservatives. And that in turn is leading to a moment...

this is a very calculated escalation of the common police strategy to shout contradictory or impossible to follow commands at someone in order to justify violence against them
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

So, it's been a while but I'm pretty sure of this, Goebbels remarked in his diary that their regime didn't need to go out of their way to manipulate the press. They'd show up to the briefings and dutifully repeat whatever they said. Anyway.
