Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Trump talking about giving each person in Greenland $100,000 in US taxpayer money is incredibly America First. And he keeps sending fundraising emails to his cult promising them $2,000 checks if they send him money. At this point you can only conclude they like being hustled.

Even accepting the right’s most charitable version of why ICE killed a woman, which is still legally, morally, and factually incomplete, why hasn’t anyone explained why medical care was prevented? And if there’s nothing to hide, why is the FBI blocking MN from investigating?

The dipshit ICE agent was standing in front of the car when they yelled at her to move, and she did. And she did not hit him. And she was shot in the face at point blank range for doing what she was told to do by the US government.

‼️ Emily Heller, who was an eyewitness, is now speaking out to set the record straight.
Officers were screaming at Renee Good, “Move, move, move.”
So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets.
Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party.
This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

Dear media covering Homeland Security's killing of a woman in Minneapolis,
Homeland Security has routinely lied about violence against the public. It was caught lying repeatedly in Chicago. A federal judge determined that Homeland Security lied.
Share any government statements with that context.

Trump talks about how he has the right policy but blames the mind of the public for rejecting it. That isn't democracy; it's authoritarian populism. In a democracy, the public judges the leaders. In autocracies, autocrats judge the public. #holdfast
Trump to House Republicans: "Most of you are in this business longer than me. That makes me smarter than you. Because look where I am, right? No it doesn't. But I wish you could explain to me what the hell is going on with the mind of the public because we have the right policy."
