POWELL: “The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President.”

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

“How do you justify an enforcement strategy making so many feel LESS safe?”🤔

“What evidence do you have she was a domestic terrorist?” (Spoiler: NONE) 🙅🏻‍♂️

“Did you give back the $50,000 in a CAVA bag?”😬 💰

I want the world to know how ashamed I am. This is not what Americans want.

I recognize Greenland's sovereignty and their right to remain independent.

If Greenland was ever threatened, the real America would show up to support them and leave when it's over. That's what real allies do.

I'm sorry.
US will take Greenland the ‘hard way’ if it can’t do it the ‘easy way,’ Trump says | CNN Politics
President Donald Trump continued his threats towards Greenland on Friday, as he insisted that if the United States did not act Russia or China would occupy it in the future.

If you were loudly outraged by fascist Charlie Kirk’s killing but spent any energy at all trying to justify or excuse the murder of Renee Good, you are a hypocrite and not worth listening to.

You don’t care about justice you care about fascism.

There are hundreds of terrible things about the murder of Ms. Good but in what world is someone involved in a law enforcement shooting allowed to just drive off? With the murder weapon? This wouldn’t happen in any other law enforcement agency.

I've noticed that ICE agents keep yelling "18 USC § 111" at people filming them. I'd like to see the memo they all got on that talking point, and I'd like to know who sent it. Filming ICE or alerting your neighbors to their presence doesn't violate § 111.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"

"Learned what?" she asks

Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

The White House surely wants to see one of these ICE crackdowns lead to violent pushback. They've got untrained unqualified goons acting with impunity. It seems deliberately designed to provoke an incident.

But do the goons get this? Do they know the big plan is to get a couple of them killed?
Susan Tincher, a 55-year-old American citizen, said agents told her in the truck that if she didn’t watch herself “they were going to pull me over to the side of the road and give me this OC,” law enforcement shorthand for pepper spray.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.
i have watched the shooter's video. it's going to make you way the fuck madder.
I have watched the video. I think you probably do not need to watch the video. it shows what you think it's gonna show in terms of lack of justification.
