The female crisis in America is and always has been men keep killing us.
There’s a non-zero possibility that this sort of epistemic closure is a big piece of the male crisis in America.

and yet next time, those same outlets (not Bellingcat) will once again uncritically publish initial ICE/Admin statements as if it is being shared in good faith to let them set the narrative in a way most low-info news consumers will never see rebutted.
For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Minneapolis Council Member Robin Wonsley told me Wed. every local official needs to oppose FBI taking over: "Definitely do not trust the FBI, that has given authority for ICE agents to terrorize our communities here in Minneapolis. There's no reason they should be owning the tragedy they caused."

Blue sky, sorry for this, but are any of you a city/regional transportation planner, or know someone who is a transportation planner?

My kid is writing a paper, and needs to ask some questions of a transportation planner, and her source fell through

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

It's telling that you say "I don't think masked thugs should be murdering innocent people in broad daylight" and Republicans start jumping up and down yelling "I guess we can't have law enforcement then." Do you hear yourself

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability.

But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down.

They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

Dear World:

We have no idea what the fuck is going on with our government.

We are baffled, shocked, bewildered and horrified.

We are also deeply ashamed and so sorry for the harm the people in power are causing all over the place.

We’re just…frozen and numb with horror.

That’s pretty much it.
