To be clear: ICE shot and killed a man who was not their target. He had no criminal record, was seeking legal status, & was pushed off the road by unmarked cars.

There’s “no body cam footage”, his family can’t recover his body, and the witnesses in his van have been detained.

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

The moral calculus here is simple.

For decades there was bipartisan congressional agreement to fund lifesaving programs. 80% of Americans agree with providing food and medical supplies to the worlds poorest people.

Elon was neither elected nor confirmed. He illegally and gleefully destroyed USAID, which did not save any money - in many cases he just disrupted distribution of supplies already purchased - but he did kill many children.

The closest analogy would be burning down a food bank causing people to die of starvation. It was an illegal act that was wasteful and caused harm. You can’t defend it by saying “what obligation do we have to fund food banks?”

8 "Antifa" members just got a combined 450 years in federal prison. The prosecution leaned heavily on an "expert" witness who has never spent a day in government or academia - but who spent years at pro-Israel advocacy orgs:

🚨BREAKING: In Oklahoma City, ICE agents are seen chasing a young man through a parking lot, tasing him, then repeatedly smashing his head, and dragging his face across the concrete… while he isn’t resisting.

In the video, after he falls to the ground, agents pile on top of him, as the agents smash his head into the concrete multiple times.

While he’s lying on the ground… not fighting back, and making no visible attempt to get away… the agents drag his face across the pavement as they go to handcuff him.

Then, with both agents already on top of him, and his arms being pulled behind his back, one agent slams his head into the concrete, again.

Even after both agents have him pinned, and are kneeling on him, one agent continues forcing his head into the pavement.

By the time they finally pull him to his feet, you can clearly see his face is injured.

Law enforcement are allowed to use force, that’s objectively reasonable, under the circumstances. But, once someone is effectively under control, any additional force has to be justified by a legitimate safety need… not punishment, anger, or retaliation.

If someone is no longer actively resisting, repeatedly driving their head into concrete… is difficult to justify as necessary force.

This is exactly what happens when the government refuses to hold ICE agents accountable.

The more ICE agents get away with excessive force, the more excessive force becomes their normal.

@ApplebottomSlut @billifer1973 The goal isn't scrutiny or teaching critical thinking. It's indoctrination.

@SJPrayerWarrior @billifer1973 You don't teach that by forcing children to read the Christian Bible in school.

That’s a common rewrite of history.

Fauci discussed probabilities based on the data available at the time. Early trials against the original strain showed very high protection, not a guarantee that no vaccinated person could ever be infected.

As the virus evolved, the estimates changed. That’s what happens when the pathogen changes.

Updating conclusions because the biology changed is not the same as lying.

Police brutally arrest church going grandma—for helping the homeless.

6 officers surround her car—break window & drag her out for no reason.

Despite visible injuries—she's left handcuffed for hours with no medical attention.

Injuries include—cervical contusion, sprained knee, right shoulder injury, 2 sprained wrists, and multiple bruises & scratches.

She told officers she had a previous injury in her right shoulder and had limited range of motion—they responded by grabbing this shoulder and twisting it further.

Kim Edmond & Magdalene DuPree had just finished dropping off supplies at Virgil’s Village—a private property homeless camp.

Police later claimed that they needed to search her car for "drug paraphernalia"—after she allegedly stopped car with its front tires past the white line at an intersection.

Incident occurred in Polk County, Florida.

They do not have an account on this platform—so posting credited video here first to help raise awareness.

no reasonable person can defend a system in which drugging & raping one's own child and causing their suicide is punished 30 to 100 times less severely than protesting a concentration camp

This is actually a common justification from the right for child marriage & it should be noted how much of the attacks on child marriage bans, abortion, birth control, education, & feminism come down to conservatives wanting to rape & impregnate children. It's a core value.

This week, DHS waived every one of our nation's most important environmental laws to bulldoze new border barriers and roads through Big Bend National Park. This marks the first time in U.S. history these laws have been waived in a national park.

With these laws gutted and a $1.7 billion construction contract already issued, very little stands in the way of DHS contractors plowing into the park, permanently destroying countless archeological sites, blocking off river access and turning this peaceful national park into an industrial construction zone.

We will continue to fight this project every step of the way... more on that soon.

MAGA man only charged with assault—after attempted murder of entire Black family reunion.

First he drove by yelling the N-word.

Then he came back wearing body armor and carrying an AR-15-style rifle.

"I grabbed my gun and started returning fire," said Marine veteran at party.

Ramell Green said he was willing to defend the roughly 20 children and older adults who were there.

Jeffrey Tyler Kinzer was identified as the suspect—he was shot and injured by the return fire.

Family insists they were racially targeted—and demand more serious charges be filed.

Incident occurred in Leesburg, Georgia.

30 years ago, the Bland family sold 87 acres of farmland to the Texas Parks and Recreation Foundation for $10 with one stipulation in the deed: the land must be turned into a public park in Williamson County.

Last year, the city of Taylor, Texas, sold that land to the data center developer Blueprint for $10 million. The Bland family's dream of creating a community hub will be erased for a 135,000-square-foot data center complex.

From Blueprint's $1 billion data center project, Taylor is projected to generate $30 million in tax revenue over the next decade.

Despite public protests, Taylor, Texas, said on its website that there was no way to deny construction of the data centers.

Rollins literally asked "where are all the sterile flies?" on national television.

DOGE cut the USDA screwworm monitoring program. DOGE cut USAID's border parasite prevention program. Both happened after she was sworn in.

The sterile flies were in the budget she let get gutted. That's where they went

The man running the agency responsible for 340 million Americans' health arrives at 10am, leaves by 4pm, skips his own division chief meetings, and when he does show up - scrolls his phone and gets described by colleagues as "checked out."

Ebola is spreading. Six Americans already exposed. He has not briefed himself with CDC scientists. His response to a reporter asking if he was worried: "Yeah, we're working on it."

The CDC is being run by a health economist with no public health experience who already has another full-time job running NIH. Half of the 27 NIH institutes have no permanent director. The top FDA drug regulator got fired in May - Kennedy found out after it happened.
When measles killed two children in Texas, the CDC official leading the response asked repeatedly to brief Kennedy. He was rebuffed every time.

The person actually running HHS operations is a longtime personal adviser whose policy spreadsheet - more than 50 items - is hidden from the department's own policy team. When Kennedy gets asked a question, his standing answer is "just run that by Stefanie."

This is not a management philosophy. This is a vacancy wearing a title.
