Our initial analysis is up.

The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.

He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

There is no defending this. This is cold-blooded murder.
NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

MAGAs are already defending ICE fascists by saying the man they killed today had a gun.

1. MN is an open carry state
2. The same MAGA bootlickers who claim we need unlimited guns to "prevent government tyranny" are the first ones to scream "OH MY GOD HE HAD A GUN" when tyrannical govt kills someone

A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation.

One court decision, two different headlines.

Guardian on the left, NY Times on the right. Which one more directly conveys information and the stakes to the reader?

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

Beet recipes, stop admonishing me to save the beet greens! You are a recipe about the bottom part of the beets and you do not have standing to order the cooking of an entire separate dish, even if it does taste “just like chard.”

Nothing says MAGA quite like bombing Nigeria on Christmas Day, the holiday fascist republicans pretend to worship, and pretending to attack the same ISIS they claimed to have eradicated whilst also pretending they are against starting wars. Can’t make this shit up.

My absolute favorite holiday tradition is Lampreia de Ovos, a Portuguese Christmas dessert which contains zero (0) actual lamprey but 50 (!) egg yolks, sugar, and almonds - and is shaped to look like a lamprey. Don’t forget cherries for the eyes! #25DaysofFishmas www.atlasobscura.com/foods/lampre...

Part of the Ichthyomyzon genus of North American lampreys, the Ohio lamprey’s scientific name comes from ichthys = “fish” + myzon = to suck, while bdella comes from the Greek for “leech” - very apt for a smallish (<15 in long), wriggly worm-looking fish #25DaysofFishmas

We trade a our road-trip car for a seaplane and head north - very north - to Alaska and the Alaska Blackfish (Dallia pectoralis), a tough-as-ice fish that breathes air and has been described as “a bulldog with fins”
