This. We can break the videos down frame-by-frame, but as long as they show a woman who rejected the authority of a fascist state, fascists will say she deserved it—and so, in their view, does anyone who isn't actively assisting the fascist state in body or, importantly, belief.
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Gay marriage has been legal in the United States for over a decade. Stop calling Renee Gold's widow her "partner" like you don't know what the right terminology is. We know what word she used: she is on video calling Renee "my wife." You don't need to equivocate. You wouldn't do it to a straight man

If you're worried about homophobes dismissing Renee's murder if you use the word "wife", why? You're not going to persuade them and they'll find out anyway.
If you're uncomfortable saying the word "wife" to refer to a woman married to another woman, congratulations: you are the homophobe.

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen.
Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo.
Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest

these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.
Exclusive: Amazon has long been USPS’s top customer, providing over $6 billion in annual revenue in 2025.
But Amazon may give up its long-standing partnership with USPS to deliver packages itself, which could spell disaster for the mail agency.
