DHS released a statement claiming that “an agent fired defensive shots” after an individual approached CBP agents with a gun and “violently resisted” when they attempted to disarm him. DHS claims that he “wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.” x.com/DHSgov/statu...

DHS’ Use of Force Policy, that applies to ICE and CBP agents, states that agents “may use deadly force only when necessary, that is when the [agent] has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury” to someone. shorturl.at/2iTI8

After the first shots are fired, the man collapses on the ground. Agents back away. At least another 5 shots are fired toward the man who is already incapacitated on the ground.

The agent in the black beanie appeared to fire the first shots, as the agent in the brown beanie doesn’t draw his gun until after the first shots are fired.

Two different agents are visibly firing their guns, with at least 10 shots being heard in total. Most of them are fired after a brief delay, when the man is already lying motionless on the ground. The current videos of the shooting only show these two agents with guns drawn.

Moments before the first shot is fired, this federal agent can be seen retreating with a gun. It appears to match the general appearance of the firearm posted by DHS, including the red dot sight. This agent’s back is turned when the first shot occurs. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Multiple federal agents can later be seen struggling with the man who is shot. One federal agent is seen approaching with empty hands, before reaching around the man’s waist.

Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Gee, I wonder why they won’t split it? Maybe wedging/university level political games are just too tempting. Can’t help but think every single action of this government involves a vote calculation.
There once were politicians who articulated a vision and persuaded the public to support legislation.

Australia has an opportunity to get out of AUKUS. We should take it.

We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia's interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS.

Pretty unsalvageable

Nobody is working harder than the LNP to make the LNP irrelevant.

Textbook idiocy. Demand quick action when you think you’ll get none and then complain that it was too quick when your bluff is called

The laws will be better without LNP input

I’m so happy for the LNP. It’s amazing that a bunch of career politicians have no idea how to do politics 🤷🏼‍♂️
Why anyone dignifies the Coalition with the pretence that they have the slightest clue what they want or what they're talking about is a complete mystery. Labor is a craven capitulation machine, but the Coalition make One Nation look coherent and principled.

Every year we delay meaningful climate action, the costs skyrocket — in lives lost, economies damaged, and ecosystems destroyed. In the Horn of Africa, families are already paying the highest price for emissions they didn’t cause.

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

Australia should do the same
⚠️ “The European Union is drawing up plans for sanctions on US companies should Mr. Trump reject the offer of a NATO deployment” of EU and UK troops to Greenland in order to “guard the Arctic” for Trump.
