A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus spilled its load leaving New York.
Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, surprised, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, confounded, astonished, and numbed.

James Van Der Beek, star of ‘Dawson’s Creek,’ died after a long battle with colorectal cancer. He was 48. This is a video he made telling people about his struggles and what cancer taught him. May he Rest in Peace 🕊️ .
These people think we have the memories of goldfish. I remember MAGA losing its mind with anger when people said protests like this were incredibly dangerous. "Second Amendment!" they said.
Yet these folks protested with their hands on (apparently) loaded rifles. That's far more dangerous! Alex Pretti never put his hand on his gun, and was disarmed before he was shot.
We know MAGA is about free speech for me and not for thee. Now it's gun rights for me and not for thee.
The Trump administration should be able to do immigration enforcement, argues @bonniekristian, without defying the First, Second, and Fourth Amendments—and most of all “without executing people like Alex Pretti in the streets.” https://t.co/dNkNBp9GhN
If your immigration-enforcement approach requires sometimes treating perfectly law-abiding people like dirt, then you probably need to change your enforcement approach.
ICE agents pointed their weapons at a Minnesota police officer who’s an American citizen. She tried to film the encounter and they knocked her phone out of her hand.

Today, @esaumccaulley & friends discuss the tragic ICE shooting in Minneapolis - how Christians should think about state power, the value of human life, and the narratives forming around the shooting long before the facts are settled. Join the conversation at the link in our bio.
I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus.
It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her.
ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her.
Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable.
I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.
