I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.

The doctor who was prevented from administering aid was indeed a medical doctor. He doesn't wish to speak to the media but I know his identity and can confirm the person who tried to help Renee Good and was prevented to by ICE is indeed an internal medicine doctor in Minnesota.

State and local law enforcement know the communities they serve. They’ve built the trust and know how to keep us safe.

what do you call it when a rogue armed government agency tells an elected official they dont care if theyre breaking the law
Rep. Angie Craig: "We were told because this facility is being funding by the 'Big Beautiful Bill,' not the congressional appropriations act, that we would not be allowed to enter the facility. That's complete nonsense ... I informed them they were violating the law. They said they didn't care."

If only we knew that spending decades creating a supercitizen class accountable only to themselves and giving them everything short of prima nocta was going to result in them having power over the politicians instead of the other way around. Ah well.

Who really runs these counties? Politicians gave blank checks to police and are now learning the genie is out of the bottle.

Worth remembering, as Trump tries to brutalize blue states over alleged TANF fraud: Mississippi's former welfare director ran TANF as a private slush fund, routing tens of millions to churches, wrestlers, and celebrity pet projects (including Brett Favre's)—while rejecting over 90% of poor families.
