The best story ICE could make up, after 12 hours, is that ICE agents shot someone in the head because they believed the person they shot, who was not accused of any crime, was a different person also not accused of any crime, and so "public safety" required killing them on the spot.

It took DHS 12 hours to come up with this statement, And the best they could come up with is that ICE shot and killed an unarmed man who didn’t present a threat to the agents. They know they fucked this one up. And it’ll be up to state and local prosecutors—not the feds—to make the case

ICE murdered two people in less than a week. Claimed they were “ramming their vehicle”. They said the same about Marimar Martinez who they shot FIVE times. She survived. Went to court to get the body cam footage released. Proved them wrong. Every shooting since they’ve left no survivors:

I need American people to understand that this speech was given by British Member of Parliament Glenda Jackson within 48 hours of Thatcher passing away. This is what I mean when I say that the cultural norm of "You must say nice things about the person that harmed your voters!🤡" is unique to the US

Member of Parliament Glenda Jackson said this within 48 hrs after Margaret Thatcher died. Elizabeth Warren couldn't get away with this type of ether. For US people: Listen to the whole thing, including the attempted rebuttal afterwards, and what the Speaker of the House responded to him with.

And why this phenomenon occurs is interesting because I personally feel it’s directly tied to the fact we didn’t punish the Confederates enough & religious extremism

Trump’s Illegal Boat Bombings Are Just ‘Murder for Murder’s Sake,’ U.S. Official Says

Donald Trump’s boat strikes aren’t working – because they’re ‘not actually designed to end the fentanyl crisis,’ a senior administration official tells Zeteo.

Every NYC Dem having to spend half the primary going after Andrew Yang instead of figuring out how to build a RCV coalition is how we got Eric Adams in 2021. I’m just so tired of people who don’t know how NYC politics works hyperfixating on them.
