I'm with @pearlmania500.bsky.social on this, and just as angry—as we all should be. A wife and mom was murdered by an incompetent ICE agent, and the first thing the government does is vilify her—labeling her a domestic terrorist.

Do not let this go, America.

🔥 @timmiller.bsky.social: “You’re telling me he was scared for his life? Are you sh*tting me?? The car is barely moving. He orphaned her child, then called her a ‘f*cking bitch’… it’s not a tough call. This was murder.”

I mean, for fuck’s sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes.

Delighted ( and slightly dazed and confused ) to report that Sir Tristrem is out. All my thanks to IMEMS Durham Press and the editorial team at B&B!
