Stella Carlson - known as "Pink Jacket Lady" - is a hero!

Anderson Cooper is gentle as she recounts how her phone & whistle don't feel like enough.

And yet, with them, she created irrefutable evidence of Alex Pretti's murder. And now gives a sincere & articulate call for justice.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

Donald Trump Is Frightened

The Trump regime started the week by telling lies about Alex Pretti's murder.

Now, Trump has pivoted back to telling lies about the economy in order to change the subject.

But on both fronts, Trump's year back in office has been filled with broken promises. Watch. youtu.be/AcefFTXUcxU?...

The only reason Homan replaced Bovino as the face of the occupation is because his lies are more polished and he doesn’t dress like a member of the Third Reich in public. But the policies and the state instigated violence remain unchanged.
CNN: How did we get to a place where we had Bovino having Border Patrol agents stopping citizens in interior of the country, asking them ID, creating fear? Who made the decisions to allow this kind of operation to proceed?

HOMAN: The reason for the massive deployment is bc of the threats & violence
