Anyone who paid for a computer to look like that has Googled “where do I measure penis length from” at least once
This is the ICE agent removing the personal computer of Jonathan Ross, the killer of Renee Good, from Good's home earlier today.

Next, video of the same agent on Dec 8 (not Jan 8, sorry) after dangerously boxing in a MnIceWatch volunteer with his truck & saying "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

He never dropped his phone.

Even while “fearing for his life” and shooting her with the other hand.

It's pretty clear at this point that nothing Trump does--no crime, no insult, no desecration, no dehumanization (even of reporters!)--can break his hold over the media for one reason: he gives them access. He wants a platform for his insane rants, and they desperately want to be that platform.

What's worse is that they won't change course, so when Democratic rank-and-file voters drag them across the finish line in spite of their stupidity, leadership will claim it was their genius strategy that won:
I’ve been saying for the past year this is the official strategy and they just aren’t going to change or abandon it. Once again, Democratic voters are going to have to drag the leadership’s asses across the finish line.

The agent giving the breakdown of all the violations Ross committed as he put himself in position to murder was a use of force investigator — the guy who would be assigned to investigate murders by men like Ross.
So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

Renee Nicole Good's humanity needs to be the first thing that’s said, because the regime started erasing it from virtually the moment it murdered her.

According to a source who is familiar with the matter, Musk's Grok is now generating more than a billion sexualized images of women every 24 hours.

Doing the math and extrapolating the likely long-term consequences is an absolute nightmare for women.

UK / EU should ban Grok X xAI, all of it, ASAP.

Experts don’t lose public debates because they’re wrong. They lose because they’re hard to hear.

In energy, complexity without a clear takeaway gets ignored. Simpler, louder stories take its place.

My latest piece is about starting with clarity and then layering nuance.

After the indefensible shooting of Renee Nicole Good, ICE agents refused to let a physician treat her at the scene. She was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE goons today, and not being allowed to go near her. The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present

Today, ICE murdered a woman in Minneapolis.

Tonight, we’ll be mourning her and the other lives that have been taken and traumatized by ICE.

I hope to see you there.

Democrats cannot vote for a DHS budget that doesn’t restrain the growing lawlessness of this agency.
A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.
