About this. Good luck. Background checks are real.
Something tells me come 2029 there are going to be a whole lot of chuds trying to get jobs with strange three-to-four year resume gaps from 2025 to 2028.
I'm sure they'll complain that it is 'reverse racism' when no one wants to hire them.

For the Xennials or Gen X you can take those names and add Sean Bell, Amadu Diallo, Rodney King, Tawana Brawley .....
Rodney King really was the one. I think that was the first one that was on video so clearly from MANY angles ... and of course set off the riots.

1. If an ICE agent has PTSD he shouldn't be on active duty with a gun.
2. He only got dragged by the car because he punched in someone's rear window and the terrified dude fled.
He's a murderer.

The most often incorrectly-attributed quote re: conflict, yet nonetheless accurate: "*No* plan survives first contact with the enemy."
Two things can be true at once: 1) Trump and Miller were hoping a civilian got killed by ICE, so they could have a big public fight about it.
2) This killing may not work out how they hoped.

There have been nine ICE shootings. There will be more. I think it may be time to consider these actions in the historical context of the Central American death squads supported by previous iterations of U.S. imperialism. And ICE's hostile incursion into "blue" cities as a form of imperialism, too.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

At some point, we need a major cultural shift, started by legal intervention, in the militarization of the police. Even putting aside the masks, this stuff is needless and odious to democracy.

For the evangelical crowd: “I’m a big fan of Jesus’s hot take that people should recognize His followers because of their love for everyone + assistance to anyone in need, but you do you, I guess.”
One of the most effective responses I give to MAGA folks is from a moral high ground. "I can't really talk to you because your heart is full of cruelty. You remind me of a bully who tortures animals. I hope you find Jesus. I shall pray for your soul." They are disarmed and so confused.
