im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons
"Was the officer struck by the vehicle, as President Trump insists, or did the car pass by or around him?"
If we only had some trusted institution that could adjudicate between competing claims by relying on facts.

Never mind that this isn’t the definition of doxing in the first place, but you can’t dox a federal employee. If you’re a public servant, your identity isn’t “hidden.” It’s on public records. People can access those public records.

Social movement scholar here. ICE is a MUCH stronger electoral enemy than DT since ICE is a material force in communities for two reasons:
1.) It forces a confrontation with the secret police and returns to convo about surveillance, extrajudicial murder, and police funding + immigration.

This is a test for Democrats right now.
If you really want to grab the mantle of leadership and emerge as a frontrunner, you have to speak out forcefully and against ICE...
Right now.
No centrist mealy-mouthed bullshit.

A random thought, quite a bit of our journalists/photojournalists are former military PAO's. They are trained by DINFOS a military school that likes to pretend to teach them journalism but it's actually teaching them press releases and propaganda.

The reason we are seeing Noem, Trump, Miller, and right-wing commentators call this woman a “domestic terrorist” is because there can be no legitimate opposition to them.

The truth is that it’s always already impossible to oppose ICE without becoming illegitimate in the eyes of MAGA/the Trump admin.
Immigrants don’t get rights or protections. But neither do citizens with the audacity to side with immigrants.

Exhibit 9 million on why people shouldn’t trust police. Here, Kentucky state police and a (Democratic) state’s attorney failed to read, or simply ignored, the exceptions in the fetal homicide code. But the charge went from Facebook press release to local news to People magazine and beyond
An anti-abortion prosecutor presented this charge to a grand jury despite an explicit exception in state law. She later withdrew the charge—but after news stories parroted police narratives telling readers the woman could face life in prison or the death penalty
