I was moved to create a responsive meme for The Felon's obnoxious outburst in Detroit January 13th. Being always in teacher mode, a report card seemed appropriate.

Scott Adams, 'Dilbert' creator and conservative commentator, dies at 68
The artist told fans in May last year that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. His cartoon was dropped by hundreds of papers in 2023 after he made racist comments.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you."
That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

This is so profoundly horrifying on so many levels. I don't even know what to think or to say about the agent not even devoting his full attention or both hands to threatening to shoot and then actually shooting this woman in the face.
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.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

It’s intentional.
It’s deadly.

Week 1. We invaded Venezuela. We killed the ACA subsidies. We destroyed the Kennedy Center. We murdered a woman in cold blood over deportations. We threatened Greenland, now we are offering them $100,000 per person to allow us to take over their country.
First 7 days. Can we survive a year of this?

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.
