Is there not any part of the Federal government or any person in the country that can stop Trump and this administration from invading Cuba and Greenland?

Kristi Noem has put the ICE officer murderer on leave and hasn't named him. They're actively covering up the murder of Renee Nicole Good. This is now an active murder coverup by the US Government.

They murdered her. They executed her. We all knew it was only a matter of time before something like this happened, but that doesn't make its impact any less devastating. How much more carnage, pain, and misery will ICE be allowed to inflict on innocent, peaceful people?

It can’t be a good sign when @bellingcat.com must turn its gaze from Iranian or Russian state actors to American ones. To our deep shame.
Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

When Japan invaded the islands of Hawaii, still territories of the United States, we entered WWII on the side of our allies versus Japan and Germany. If Trump and Rubio invade Greenland using military force, how is that different than Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor?

If a male individual in any state was shown on video to have shot and killed a woman in her car as she drove past the shooter and was caught on camera walking away from the scene, there would be a massive manhunt to capture him and "bring him to justice." Why is this man not under arrest? #DOJ #FBI

Her name was Renee Nicole Good. 37 years old.
Remember her name!

Her mother said she was a kind person who wanted to help others.

"Hard to believe he's alive, but is now recovering in the hospital"

Yeah, right

Hard to believe he murdered a woman and just strolls away

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle.

This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

Turning while his gun was still holstered. And he had plenty of room, all around, to move out of the way.
These details that we only know from video and photos are very important and very damning for ICE

Police are saying the woman in the red SUV who was shot was "blocking the street." That is a lie. A grey SUV left the scene on the same street in front of her before she backs up, turns to the right, and tries to drive off as an ICE agent who just got out of his truck attempts to open her door.

The government does this every time there's an incident. They come out immediately spewing lies and misinformation and that's what people hear and see first. It's a proven tactic to get their story out and in the minds of Americans before the facts are known.
Kristi Noem is lying.

They then denied her medical care at the scene. That shows intent. They wanted her dead.

A warning that this is a disturbing video. Proceed with caution.

But it shows that the ICE version of the story is an absolute fucking LIE. As is standard for them!

We need justice.

Stick a fork in it friends. America is done. At the very least on life support with a bunch of feckless politicians who think taking the g.d. high road is going to change anything.

As a litigator for over 20 years, I've led a LOT of document productions.

If you only release 1% of a promised pool of docs - like DOJ has with the Epstein files - that means you have a LOT to hide.

It means the other 99% of the documents are RIDDLED with toxic evidence.

Five years ago I was one of the last members evacuated on January 6th from the Capitol amid a violent insurrection incited by our current President to stop the peaceful transfer of power. On that day more than 140 police officers were seriously injured and several lost their lives (1/3).

No one is stopping Trump. No one. In fact, the opposite is true. He's enabled by everyone around him, Congress, the media, the courts, and now the military. Trump has suspended the Constitution. He just hasn't formally announced it. If you think things are bad now, you have not seen anything yet.
