Every video I’ve seen directly contradicts the DHS narrative.
They say he approached the officers armed and ready to “massacre law enforcement.”
In reality, he was recording ICE then after they shoved a woman, he got in between them.
They then surrounded him and killed him.

Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Every Democratic Senator must vote NO on DHS/ICE funding. Continuing to fund this agency that is terrorizing and murdering our people makes you complicit. They EXECUTED Alex Pretti.

Opinion | I knew the pain of apartheid. How dare Trump embrace Afrikaners as refugees.
If the Episcopal Church had agreed to resettle South African Boers, then it would have elevated a lie that will affect refugee resettlement for years to come.

We know EXACTLY what’s in vaccines – because we put it there
Vaccine scientists and regulatory agencies know exactly what is in vaccines and why, no matter what anti-vaccine activists try to claim.

Cell lines are frozen banks of identical cells that we can grow over & over.
They’re used for different experiment types.
Some cells came from a biopsy of a fetus DECADES ago.
It’s *not* fetal tissue.
It’s *not* in vaccines.
A fetus wasn’t aborted *for* them.

If you don’t understand biomedical research, the claim that “fetal tissue” is in vaccines may sound scary.
But it’s a lie.
The reality?

History will not be kind to us and rightfully so. We can look back at the Holocaust and the Civil Rights movement and arrogantly believe that we would stand up for justice during those times. But in reality, what we do now is what we would do then.
