What we do know is that Tricia McLaughlin needs to be fired—not because she's the top aide to Noem at DHS and her husband got a massive and suspicious mulitmillion-dollar DHS contract, but because all she had to say was "We're investigating" and she fucked up on that *yet again*.

We still don't know the details here. But journalists should know the questions that must be asked to determine if this was an ICE-provoked death. When ICE pulls over a nonviolent offender, their job if the person flees is to use their plate to go to their home—not start a chase.

I understand MAGAs have no interest in how laws work until they affect them, but the rest of us do: we need to know if ICE engaged in a pursuit, and if so whether this man was wanted for a status offense or serious crime.
If the former, ICE caused this.

Corporate Media amplifying Trump's lies about Russia (falsely claiming he was exonerated), rather than reading the Mueller Report (which detailed his support for Russia's attack on US) has proven to Trump that lying about his crimes against US is a winning strategy for him.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.
