People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

Bari Weiss, apparently, is pursuing the “de-Baathification of CBS.”
The New Yorker is out with a profile of Bari Weiss. There's a notable quote attributed to "sources close to Weiss and Ellison" saying "readily realizes and admits that she was not as knowledgeable as she should have been about the timing of the marketing and promo process at '60 Minutes.'"
Inside Bari Weiss’s Hostile Takeover of CBS News
The network’s new editor-in-chief has championed a press free from élite bias, while aligning herself with a billionaire class more willing than ever to indulge Donald Trump.

They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.

For decades, cops have been trained not to shoot at moving vehicles.
Instead, they are taught to do something much safer for everybody involved: Get out of the way. But the federal agents enforcing President Trump’s mass deportation campaign seem to be taking a far more dangerous path.

Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.
Immigration agents have shot at least nine people since September. All of them have been in cars.

Since last year, Trump admin planned what to do if ICE agents were accused of crimes (even murder):
Protect them “no matter what."
Trump laid out ways to retaliate:
—Refuse to hand over an agent
—Charge local officials with “obstructing"
—Threaten to cut off more funding

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture)
It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.
