Just a few days ago we invaded a foreign country, killed 100 people, kidnapped its leader, told the world we were gonna run it & take its oil and it was the same day the rest of the Epstein files were due out but then an ICE agent shot a US citizen in the face so we forgot.
What happens tomorrow?

Perfect pitch, Sarah. If you think this shooting was justified "go and iron your brown shirt"
I’m not going to sit quietly while people lie about this. Renee Good was kind. She was leaving. The sounds at the end are bullets being fired into her car from the side. Watch the video and stop pretending this was justified.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
This could be you.

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out.
If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam.
It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

Why are we letting the Trump administration make us debate whether the attack info was classified, or war plans? If an enemy or a journalist had obtained it wrongfully & made it public, is there any doubt in your mind how the Trump government would’ve treated them? Let’s not play their game.
