No doubt. I'm surprised it took this long.
“The alarm was warranted. Everyone on the scene had witnessed the crossing of a crucial line in Donald Trump’s mass-deportation project: ICE had just killed an American citizen on American soil”

In video games, the guys who kill people and then threaten others by alluding to how they kill people are the bad guys
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

The regime wants you to disbelieve what your eyes are telling you. Anyone who watches the videos of the shooting in Minnesota can see that the driver was not trying to run over the ICE agent. Kristi Noem can call the victim a “domestic terrorist,” but murder is murder.

After Columbine I thought we would move heaven and earth to prevent mass shootings.
We did nothing and now they are almost a daily occurrence.
Today we watched an ICE thug brutally murder an American citizen in cold blood. A young mother.
If we do nothing this too will become a daily occurrence.

Trump has pretty much abandoned the lie that regime change in Venezuela was about drug trafficking, but Republicans in Congress still seem committed to the bit regardless.

This Venezuela shit also has me thinking about Kamala Harris's time as VP down in Central America. While there, she tried to use her power and influence to help stabilize elections in those countries, so corruption didn't rule the day.
That is a *much* harder task than showing up with guns

If you were getting yelled at for a long period of time, say by a customer or your boss or something, at what point do you think it would be appropriate to interrupt with: So it'll be swords at dawn, then?
