Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.
Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.

You support murder.

People are interpreting this as Exxon telling Trump that he made a mistake, but if you listen to what they say, it's basically that the US needs to do more regime change so there are "investment protections".

Chevron, who are already in Venezuela, are planning a production increase already

Also Gaza. The person who applauds a military invasion of a NICU in Gaza, leaving the babies to die, will allow the same in US. Once you sell your soul to the Devil, it's hard to get it back.

I'm confused, how is this a bad thing? Why do we as a society want folks who only own 6% of the stock to have all that power? What is the social benefit of treating shares with orders of magnitude more voting power as being financially equal to normal shares?

It's important to know who said what and when because 1) it shows who to trust in terms of analysis 2) it shows potential targets of the state who to trust in terms of protection.

If they had power and didn't take Epstein or ICE seriously before 2025, they're bullshitting now. And that's dangerous.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

I am a simple person who thinks that telling the truth about things is important. I watched the video footage of this shooting, and the killing is casual and unhurried. DHS and aligned political actors are very ready to present a story of rushed, panicked violence, and it just is not true.
NEW: At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

"Was the officer struck by the vehicle, as President Trump insists, or did the car pass by or around him?"

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve.

Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body.

This is not new but it is expanding.
Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.

From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

Yes you do not and should not have to see that video, but it’s very important we have them because many of our major US news institutions have entrenched an insane dissembling of reality and regurgitation of authoritarian narratives under guise of ‘objectivity’.
