The kill shots from the ICE Officer were though the side window
It’s unlawful to shoot someone as they are fleeing without imminent threat or danger
This isn’t a close call
Its on video
He should be charged criminally
There are no other relevant talking points needed

1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

The thing about the archive is that you don’t even know what you’re looking for until you’re looking at it. I spent half my time with manuscript and typescript archives looking at the backs of pages that were written on

Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

Walt Bogdanich and Michael Forsyth's book 'When McKinsey Comes to Town' should be read by everyone trying to understand the mess.
Further proof that capitalism does NOT breed innovation.
Also, why we all need to stop using Google Chrome.
