"Eyewitnesses say gov't forces have begun opening fire, apparently with automatic weapons and at times seemingly indiscriminately, on unarmed protesters...protesters had been coming in with pellet injuries but now with gunshot wounds & skull fractures."

"I'm not mad at you" as your last words on earth are really not all that far from "forgive them father for they know not what they do."

The paper of record is, thank heaven, fulfilling its responsibility this time. That really matters

Good was a mother of three and had dropped off her six-year-old son at school when she encountered a group of ICE agents, according to her ex-husband.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Got round to reading Farage two page “manifesto” in yesterday’s Mail. Populist slogans/unfunded promises strung together in a piece designed to portray 🇬🇧 as third world. But how about this for nerve from Mr Brexit? “The casual lies and careless attitudes of our political class have let people down”.

A government that is completely & utterly high on its own supply. “The Trump administration has sent a letter to some large companies in the EU warning them to comply with an executive order banning diversity, equity and inclusion programmes.” www.ft.com/content/02ed...

Will Trump strip US citizens of their citizenship..? 🛂

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

The U.S. should be thanking Ukrainians, who have fought for our common interests with only modest financial support from a country with a ~$30 trillion GDP.

America can and will reclaim its backbone again soon, with better policy and messaging from common sense moderates.

Slava Ukraina.

~50,000 Ukrainians have died defending their homeland, protecting U.S. and Western interests in the process. Meanwhile, the U.S. President and V.P. are calling democratically-elected Zelenskyy a dictator and berating him in Oval Office in pursuit of a financial payoff.

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.
