No, no, Congressman, please continue to tell voters that the government will kill them if they don't comply.
Really drive that home for us. Make it crystal clear.

The BBC should be "impartial", but that doesn't mean refusing to make judgments.
A jury or a football referee should be "impartial": they should not be "partial", or prejudiced, to one side or other.
But that doesn't excuse them from making decisions. It's why we trust them to do so.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance".
It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder".
The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

I don't know who needs to hear this in 2026 the year of our lord, but if someone tells you Trump's not that bad, they are also telling you that they are an idiot and a Nazi and you should protect yourself

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

I remember when they said this about Rodney King.
losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people
really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

This is the only correct position, and the inevitable response from knee-jerk centrist reactionaries of "it won't work" is not a valid objection. Every member of Congress has a duty to say that what Noem has been doing is not acceptable.
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

We're all really mad and that shit burns energy.
Try to take like a ten minute break at some point. Put down the phone, walk away from the computer, drink some water, enjoy your pets, get some air, anything you can do to break your train of thought for a minute.
You can come back later.

"Was the officer struck by the vehicle, as President Trump insists, or did the car pass by or around him?"
