“why was a 6 month old near tear gas in the first place” is actually a really important question to ask but the answer would bum this guy out
NEWSMAX host Carl Higbie: “This 6 month old who unfortunately got tear gassed by ICE… That sucks 🤷🏼 , but why was a 6 month old near tear gas in the first place?”

at this point in the 2016 presidential election cycle, if you were a republican who believed the most important thing was to save the country from a hillary clinton presidency, you would have been convinced that you had to rally around jeb bush
we are still years out from the Democratic primary, and I think it is genuinely deranged that there’s people out there who believe there’s no other choice and thus we must rally around the flag of, all people, Gavin Fucking Newsom to save the republic

wild for people for whom red dawn is a foundational text to not pick up on that
Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.
If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

one thing i am just now realizing is that i’ve already gotten used to the fact that these men wear masks all the time, like that’s just their uniform or something and not a shocking and disturbing break from every previous concept of public trust
ICE at Midway Target and seem to possible be leaving. Lots of community members here

thinking about the amber heard/johnny depp trial as an inflection point at which americans seemed to decide that the legal system should weigh in on who is less likable and punish them for that, in the context of the choice to release the ice agent's video of the encounter where he shot renee good

i'm curious about this, has anybody who works with video run the new one alongside the others to see if the timing matches precisely?
To add to this: You can clear see him holding his iPhone though the shooting.
The black screen at the 40 seconds mark is concerning of an edit being done to this video.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.
