In this clip from a longer interview, she says while she was in detention, agents called Renee Good a “lesbian b*tch.”

MICHIGAN — SHERIFF SWANSON (a candidate for governor): “A tragic but predictable event. I saw the same video you saw. When you have masked federal agents with no markings on the vehicle… This is what breaks down the trust of law enforcement across the board.”

Everyone should read the Venezuelan witness’ testimony of 20 American soldiers massacring hundreds with advanced weaponry that they had never encountered before without taking a single casualty. Could this be true?

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.

the use of lethal force against unarmed people in cars based on a fraudulent claim that the car itself is a weapon. This explains the consistent contortion of facts to justify the use of lethal force.

POLITICO: When you attack Europe, do you intend to send a message of tough love to our allies, or do you think that many of them are just weak and you don't want to be allies with them?
