This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.
Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”
Really listen to it.

“The notion that [Trump] claims this is somehow making the country safer is absurd. It’s making the country more dangerous. The domestic terrorists are ICE. It’s hard to believe we have a criminal president running a lawless government trying to intimidate the people of this country through force.”

Watching people trying to justify killing of a mother in her own car, in her own neighborhood, by someone who never knew her, while strangers argue she deserved it, is why I don’t try to educate adults. people are too far gone. I focus on those willing to show others humanity #pinks #Momsky

MINNEAPOLIS, United States -- Paramilitary forces under the command of President Trump brandished weapons and refused members of parliament access to a facility under their oversight. Legal observers say the Federales' campaign of terrorism and murder is part of a broader attack on the rule of law.
JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents.

This is absolutely what happened.
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

🔥 If an Agent commits crimes in Philly, I will charge you. You will be arrested. You will stand trial, and you will be convicted — in State or Federal Court — and you will do your time. Donald Trump can’t pardon you for a State Court conviction. - DA Larry Krasner, soon after ICE murdered Renee Good

Fascism is here.
Whether or not we stand up to and eradicate it is the only question left.
NO ONE is coming to save us...not Congress, not the courts, not law enforcement, not the military.
IF, and it's a substantial IF, we get out of this, it will be because of us.

By the way, if you’re on the side of thinking that ICE is going to win whatever this “war” against the people they talk about…. They aren’t
And the statute of limitations goes past three years for a lot of crimes

really feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

This, combined with him *moving to the front of the car* and then reaching for, if not actually unholstering, his weapon before Good even begins moving forward deminstrates that the intention to shoot was not reactive to a threat posed by the vehicle
Hand switch at the 29sec mark thus freeing up his right weapon side hand:

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

I wrote section 230 to protect user speech, not a company's own speech. I've long said AI chatbot outputs are not protected by 230 and that it is not a close call. Given that the Trump administration is going to the mat to protect pedophiles, states should step in to hold Musk and X accountable.
I am not a Section 230 expert but being that Twitter is creating and publishing these photos I wonder if they actually have any civil legal protection? @kenwhite.bsky.social ? @akivamcohen.bsky.social ?
What X is allowing Grok to do is unlawful or regulatory-illegal in multiple jurisdictions, creates clear DSA violations, and continues despite regulator scrutiny. The images do not need to be pornographic, non-consensual sexualised or intimate depictions are enough.
