Even if you take ICE's bullshit at face value, why didn't the officer shoot the tires? Why didn't he discharge a warning shot in the air? Or, you know, just slap the side of the car and ask her to stop?
Why did the ICE agent shoot her at point-blank range, murder her, and then walk away?

A bill with bipartisan support to bring safe drinking water to people in Colorado is vetoed by Trump.
Why?
It appears he’s pressuring Colorado to free his crooked ally who is imprisoned for tampering with voting systems.
Trump doesn’t give a crap about anything but his own money and power.

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.
We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

A quick sidenote about this; one reason I stay on X is specifically because of exchanges like this, where @davidjbier.bsky.social and I got a prominent government official to make a claim so outrageous that it’s now ricocheting around the internet and actively undermining official PR campaigns.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.
