ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Russians continue their human safari in Kherson. They hunt people with drones. Kherson is being used as a training ground for killing civilians.
Right now, civilians in the city (women, children, and pensioners) are being hunted, killed, and it's being filmed by Russians - all with impunity.

Of course RFK Jr. lied about the Samoan people whose deaths from measles he is responsible for.
Literally no one believed his lies except people like Bill Cassidy who chose to believe him in order to please the King.

Under the guise of returning 'order', with the intention brutalisating political opponents, comes from an old blueprint, that worked well in 30s Germany.
