This comes from the NYT's analysis of all the available video. Put aside whatever you think of NYT; this is extremely valuable, careful, and absolutely damning analysis that literally step by step debunks every lie fascism may manufacture about this murder. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...
Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis
An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

FEMA has the capacity to do top notch rescue and response. But not under Secretary Noem. She shut down the emergency phone system days after the floods. She sent only a few dozen rescue workers when the state had nearly 2000 of it's own people doing that work. A woeful response.

You need to know what's going on at "Alligator Alcatraz."
It's grossly immoral - no human being should be treated like that.
It's political theater - many of the detainees have no criminal record.
It's a taxpayer funded boondoggle - enriching DeSantis's political cronies.

So what's next after today's May Day mobilizations?
On June 14, Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday.
But real power isn't staged in DC. It rises up everywhere else. That's why we're planning a nationwide day of action to say No Kings. 🧵

SO true. so how do we build a better order? That's the real question.
Animating too much absolutely sensible outrage at Trumpism is an appeal to parental figures who aren’t there. “He should not be allowed”; “He should be arrested”; “This can’t be permitted.” Passive voice, all of which begs, “by whom?” It’s an appeal to an order that has already broken.
