If you notice the flakes are very small right now. This is less effective accumulation then we will see eventually when the more dynamic part of the storm moves in. This early snow is caused by the Marine air pushing into the Arctic air. Check out Gloucester and look just west.

At this point, there's no journalistic reason to interview Bovino, Noem &c, it's just platforming their relentless lying and propaganda.
There's no gotcha moment, there's no acknowledgement, there's simply no "news" to be had here.

BOVINO: He was in the scene actively impeding and assaulting law enforceme--
BASH: But he wasn't impeding. He was filming, which is a legal thing to do in the United States
BOVINO: Dana, let's not free frame adjudicate this now

When I say that the vast majority of U.S. media are unable to effectively cover state terror this thread is what I have in mind.
NPR's open for this morning mentions the Minneapolis man's killing by ICE and also mentions ICE's excuse, but doesn't mention video evidence showing otherwise.
It isn't until 60 seconds into the segment that NPR mentions the video.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation.

BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts.
From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

Delta 3200 looking its **absolute effing best**. Rated it at 800 with an r29, so metering for 200. The composition is less exciting than the exposure
Nice to have a few good film buddies for photo walks, I'm pretty lucky in that regard!
