She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive.
The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific.
They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him.
Stop the lies.

In case you missed it last night:
No, it is definitively not defamation to call Jonathan Ross a murderer, and people who say it is are liars or ignorant or both.

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good.
In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric.
It’s not.

It’s always only some “niche group” until you or someone you love is part of one.
Then it’s about pretty basic things like human rights.

Actually THEY aren't losing WE are losing bc every niche group expects utter and total adherence in a specific way and the Nazi's know this. So yeah WE will keep losing.

When the trans person or immigrant becomes “niche”,
When the person demanding racial, gender, religious or economic equality becomes “niche”
You have removed their humanity.
And it’s easy to remove human rights from those who aren’t listed as human.
And it gets easier to keep expanding that list.

I don’t hear trans people or their allies arguing that this should be the only issue one votes on.
It should however be a big red flag when anyone arguing for alliance and cohesion is willing to throw anyone under the bus for power.
Whats to stop them from throwing you next? That’s the point.

When you complain that democracy is under threat from Nazis because “too many niche groups” are demanding the same rights you have - you understand neither democracy nor the history of Nazis.

As the world becomes increasingly volatile and chaotic, a gentle reminder that practicing self care, taking time to ground yourself in the presence of love, the reality of goodness and beauty, the gentle calm of silence and peace - where at all possible - is itself an act of protest. /1

We don’t have to imagine. We know. We have testimonies. There is already plenty of evidence.
Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Remember: Federal officials do not enjoy categorical, absolute immunity from state-level prosecutions. They are entitled to removal to federal court. But conduct that is unreasonable or unnecessary for the execution of their law enforcement duties is susceptible to criminal prosecution.

It isn’t the left that made this an issue.
The left said “Hey some people are non-binary. Maybe we shouldn’t make assumptions? Let’s just indicate how we wish to be addressed.”
The right said “THIS IS THE END OF THE WORLD! Let’s fight THIS ….and not fascism!”
False equivalency is not helpful.
