Un'altra esecuzione di un cittadino americano da parte dell'ICE. In questo video si vede un nugolo di uomini che circondano un uomo ormai a terra, lo pestano, e lo uccidono con dei colpi di arma da fuoco, in un contesto in cui non vi è alcuna evidenza di una minaccia alla vita degli agenti. 1/6

🧵 For the past two days, we’ve been watching something obscene unfold. The Trump administration is portraying the victim of ICE violence as a terrorist and the killer as a hero shielded by absolute immunity. On one point, however, they tell the truth. 1/7 civiceconomist.substack.com/p/ice-trumps...

🧵L’Europa non sta censurando nessuno. Sta provando a impedire che la manipolazione digitale inquini il dibattito democratico. Da quando la Commissione Europea ha multato X, gli oligarchi russi e americani gridano alla censura. Ma la realtà è completamente diversa. 👇 1/18
