It’s time for the US to join the 125 nations who recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court at the Hague.
I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

I am outside Roosevelt now, my daughter goes there. Talked to staff, ICE was in a car pursuit of someone and they crashed and went up on school property. Teachers formed a circle around the person to protect them. Ice releases tear gas and took two people
We are getting reports of Border Patrol activity near Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis that happened during dismissal time today. Bystanders say officers shoved, tackled bystanders and handcuffed 2 school staff

And we all just have to keep clocking in, keep paying the bills, keep paying our taxes, keep checking our credit scores, keep marching along funding the machinations of a fascist state just to keep the lights on 🙃

The president is also signalling to his followers in and out of government what the party line on this horrific murder will be. That it's transparently false is almost beside the point. Indeed, publicly adopting the falsehood will fast become a loyalty test.
That he chooses the "me or your lying eyes?" approach, in the full knowledge that there are multiple videos out there, is a striking commentary on the nature of propaganda in the modern information environment.
Trump: "I have just viewed the clip of the event which took place in Minneapolis. It is a horrible thing to watch. The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting ... "

Right, when you compare the two DHS statements, it looks like cut-and-paste language cooked up in advance in the expectation of incidents exactly like these.
It's the same template of lies, not even tailored in any meaningful way to the facts and circumstances in Minneapolis.
Note that DHS's new statement on the ICE killing in Minneapolis today closely tracks the version of events they initially put out about the shooting in Chicago:

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

I want to find the consultant who convinced Dems to stick with this framing, tie them to a stake, light a match, and tell everyone they have to decide between caring about saving them or caring about milk being 2% cheaper
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.
