A new video appears to show the moments leading up to a fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis, with the individual appearing to simply record on his phone as agents escalated the situation.

MAGAs are already defending ICE fascists by saying the man they killed today had a gun.
1. MN is an open carry state
2. The same MAGA bootlickers who claim we need unlimited guns to "prevent government tyranny" are the first ones to scream "OH MY GOD HE HAD A GUN" when tyrannical govt kills someone

This is Liam Ramos. The five year old that ICE took from a Minneapolis school and sent BY HIMSELF WITHOUT HIS FAMILY to a detention facility in Texas. There are monsters among us and they are wearing masks, carrying guns, and work for the US government.

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.
NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do."
“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.

ICE shot a woman driving away from them in the face in broad daylight and immediately began to smear her as a perpetrator of violence and domestic terrorism. The greatest threat to Americans is our own “law and order.”

The wealthy are always so GD worried some poor people are gonna commit some small time fraud. Meanwhile, big corporations are committing HUGE afraid. Just look at defense contractors.
Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month.
It’s about oil and regime change.
And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

I’m sick to my stomach over these efforts to eradicate trans kids. Make no mistake, the goal is to stamp a group of people out of existence. It’s horrifying and violent and a bunch of Democrats support it.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Not guilty verdicts like the ones in the Diddy case aren’t just a statement of disbelieving women. They are a statement that even if you are believed, that does not mean men should be held accountable for abuse of power.

law enforcement officials say they made a proactive check at Rep. Hortman's home after a lawmaker who lived nearby was shot and found a "police vehicle in the driveway with emergency lights and what appeared to be a police officer at the door coming out of the house." He was actually the gunman.
