Never in the history of Western democratic politics has a single government contained so many proven and brazen liars who lie so often and so effortlessly and so demonstrably.
GRAPHIC: CBP officers shoot another person in Minneapolis at point-blank range. Footage obtained exclusively by BT shows federal officers on Nicollet Ave. on top of a man on the ground, before one CBP officer pulls his gun and repeatedly fires. Witnesses say that after the shooting CBP then walked down the block filming bystanders. Nothing else is known at this point about what preceded this, the identity of the man shot, or his current condition. FBI agents and an ambulance are at the scene.
BREAKING: The Minneapolis PD are now reporting that ICE has taken witnesses from the shooting today to the Whipple Federal building and ordered the local police to LEAVE the scene immediately. What the hell are they trying to cover up?

Take a deep breath Minneapolis.
But remember no single verdict from an unjust system can deliver justice.
Whatever happens, take care of yourself, because the long march to liberation continues.
Somehow we weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
There is always light
if only we're brave enough to see it
if only we're brave enough to be it.
— Amanda Gorman
please don't forget disabled people when you're talking about minimum wage. we can LEGALLY be paid below it. there is no livable minimum wage unless disabled people are included.
Y’all the issue is whiteness.
You can try to cut it all these different ways.
But the common denominator, through-line, consistent factor & persistent conflict is whiteness.
Until folks are ready to confront what whiteness is, its construct & function, we are stuck here.
