They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

U have to purge yourself of critical thinking skills/ context to accept “welcome” report as valid. Pts to a prob of marketing, disinformation and shitty journalism for Dems, not policy (too much on global warming and lgbtq rights and not the border and crime was a common sentiment of those polled)
Left-wing ideas have wrecked Democrats’ brand, new report warns
The center-left group Welcome relied on polling of hundreds of thousands of voters over six months for its findings, shared first with Semafor.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

Truly don’t understand the deference and good faith assumption by even saying “alleged drug boats” when it’s from known war mongers, serial liars, openly speaking of regime change. Call them civilians until even a small amount of evidence is offered

I just hope @politico.com believes its own reporting on the GOP (this plus Nazi text chain) being subsumed by its fascist racist misogynistic Nazi wing and provides this context to all its political reporting, throwing horse race misinforming bullshit in the trash.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

I wouldn’t say “could” take us there. Were there for immigrants and brown people with the kavanaugh stops, midnight raids, smashed windows, destroyed property, zip tied kids, ICE shooting civilians…
Under the Third Reich, most Germans generally lived in the law-bound normative state, while Jews and other disfavored people were victims of the arbitrary and violent prerogative state.

The dual state is characterized by the facade of normalcy obscuring the fact of an authoritarian state.
The “dual state” theory was invented to describe Nazis. The Supreme Court could take us there.
Authoritarianism—but make it look like the rule of law.
