They say “where’s the gun?” — After the shots
Because they don’t realize one of them had already taken it — before the shots

In their justification, DHS is not claiming he shot at them. DHS is claiming the man *had* a gun.
According to police chief the victim was a US citizen, 37-year-old white man "with a permit to carry a gun." In this country where 32% of the population own a gun.

TV reporter warns of ice presence in downtown Fredericksburg, I thought he meant ice, but he actually meant ice. Why do 2 threats against our society need to use the same name.
In another story, Trump's newest secret police is called Multi Elite Agents' Secret Lawless Exo-Service, or M.E.A.S.L.E.S.

Six brave ice officers ($50k bonus each) did a warrantless stop on a Minneapolis middle schooler armed with Hot Cheetos. The child was accused of walking without an ID. Within seconds, he was pushed into an unmarked vehicle.

POLICE CHIEF: “If it’s happening to our officers, it pains me to think how many of our community members are falling victim to this every day.”
ICE is even racially profiling off-duty Black & Brown cops— including pulling guns on one and knocking her phone out of her hand.

Apparently the only thing I use ai for is to help me disable ai.
I am ready to admit ai cannot do this simple task. In the future when an ai is forced on me, I will save time and by searching reddit.

The US purchased Alaska 159 years ago. Any US citizen who wants to live in the arctic circle is already in Alaska! Like Greenland, there are few people. Arctic regions are, still, populated mostly by the indigenous people who have lived there for 10 thousand years. *22 square miles per person.*

Letitia James is officially accused of making Trump cry
This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.
I am not fearful — I am fearless.
We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

NEW: @reuters.com got its hands on a document from the Guatemalan government further undermining the claims the Trump admin made publicly (and to a federal judge) that the attempted deportation of 600 children in the dead of the night was requested by parents.

About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”

When ICE arrests a refugee from El Salvador and sends him to Uganda, that is not called deportation. It is human trafficking. Same is true when ICE "accidentally" sends US citizens to El Salvador. Maybe you regularly carry a passport, but ICE agents regularly confiscate those.

Under Trump, DHS is not targeting terrorists or cartel members. DHS is targeting regular people, including legal immigrants & US citizens. Republicans like to say “workers should come here legally.” But Trump terminated the status of 530,000 people who came legally. Now he can deport them. (1/7)

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Last sunset for my Kia PHEV, casualty of the RGV flood. Nobody thought it was possible for Harlingen to see 22 inches of rain. 3-year-old car, 65k miles, got over 300mpg in city driving and 50mpg on road trips. Never had any mechanical or electrical problem. Body and interior in near-mint condition.
