Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle.
This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

I voted for Tim Kane every time his name was on the ballet. NEVER AGAIN!
Ah yes, the GOP gets to continue destroying the government, the Dems get a line for an email.
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Unions matter. Especially NOW.
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

No Kings Day in Vienna Virginia (population less than 17,000) was noisy and peaceful. Hundreds of people showed up with signs, some in costumes, and some with bullhorns. They lined both sides of the street for several blocks.

Does anyone truly think that Trump has the mental capacity to negotiate peace with anyone--even through representatives? He can barely speak coherently, witness his speech at the UN.
Thomas Friedman, who just wrote a column suggesting how Trump could win the Nobel Peace Prize, really ought to read this piece — which clearly lays out how Trump is executing his version of peace in the US.
