In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

I think it's a bad sign that every major news media outlet has spent days asking whether or not murder is bad and how much child porn is an okay amount

Someone could ask him if he would punch a baby and he'd be like "better say yes" and then six months later punching babies would be his main policy platform.

Apropos of absolutely nothing to do with the masked men with no visible agency insignia carrying crates of who knows what out of the shooter's house, but HBO just released an amazing documentary into DHS "shadow units" whose job was to destroy evidence of Border Patrol's crimes

Been thinking quite a lot this week about one of the very first cases I tracked of ICE detaining a U.S. citizen

A year ago, ICE agents detained a 20 YO they said swerved his car at them

But local Utah police checked security footage. And it wasn’t true

Unified police say ICE agents made inaccurate claims about driver swerving toward them - KSLTV.com
Two Utah police agencies said ICE agents made false claims about a driver swerving toward them during a traffic stop last week.

The facts, the Constitution, the very Bible they pretend to follow...none of it matters. These are merely tools to be discarded the moment they stop serving the goal of punishing our neighbors and those they deem inferior. Obedience is the only law. The badge & Trump are their only true gods.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.

He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.

The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.

They hate women & it shows.

the fact that this is Yglesias’ only post about ICE murdering an American really just goes to show how his excessively poll-tested popularist philosophy completely fails when faced with a rapidly shifting public narrative

it’s an entirely backwards-looking worldview
