I have not independently verified this footage, but it appears to be authentic.
Immediately after Renee Good is shot and killed, someone off camera (presumably the ICE officer who shot her) calls her a “fucking bitch.”

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The IHRA definition of antisemitism is a case where there is a real split between the Jewish advocacy world, which sees it as the gold standard, and Jewish Studies scholars, who, with few exceptions, find it conceptually problematic. Even the scholar who wrote it opposes using it this way.
