Multiple eyewitness accounts of ICE's shooting of two people in Portland agree that ICE opened fire AFTER the pickup truck with the two individuals was already driving away, violating DHS's own rules.
They opened fire in a public area, near a hospital, without regard for safety.

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data.
Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”
As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.

Yes. But whatever happens dont forget he welcomes the controversy as a distraction from fact he is defying the court order to release the Epstein files, presumably because they would fully expose him as a child molester - this & further distractions will continue....
Minnesota officials renewed their calls on Friday for state agents to be allowed to help investigate the fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE officer earlier this week. State investigators so far have been denied access to evidence, they said.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Today's events with ICE are an example of why I don't quibble about calling the Trump regime fascist. There's no utility in throwing around academic terms like 'competitive authoritarianism' when the President has a personal army invading cities and murdering citizens. It's fascism.

The USA is no longer a country that can be trusted to operate according to rule of law.
If they could do this to Renee Nicole Good, they could do this to you. This is a lawless regime.

Do people outside of TV and the movies still use alarm clocks? Or does everyone pretty much use their cell phone.

Jim Beam is pausing bourbon production at its main Kentucky facility for 2026 because demand is down.
That decline comes from a sharp drop in sales to Canada after U.S. trade aggression triggered provincial pullbacks and consumer boycotts.
