they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.
They're trying to paint her as a monster bc they're so incapable of love, joy & kindness that when they see it being directed at them, it infuriates them that anyone can radiate love, joy & kindness. It's envious spite, & when confronted with the tiniest amount of light, they have to destroy it

"The first thing I noticed when I got to Minneapolis last weekend was the new language: The work C was doing has a name—“commuting”—a deliberately mundane term for pursuing, tailing, and deliberately irritating ICE agents moving through the city in unmarked cars." slate.com/news-and-pol...
Trump and ICE Thought They Knew How to Handle Minneapolis. I Saw Up Close What’s Happening Instead.
ICE declared war on Minneapolis. The city had its own ideas.

If you want to be an activist, you need to be embedded in local community with people you know and trust.

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.
If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Worth noting that the only people being violent and rioting are CBP and ICE.
Or ... or you'll ... shoot the babies?
DHS I don't know if you were all absent on training day but you can't shoot babies even if you don't like their parents. There is nothing that can be happening with a baby that makes it ok to shoot babies.
