The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

Holy shit.
Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

Last year I did a deep dive into the world of the Mother & Baby Homes in Ireland, run by the Catholic Church, because I was born in one but had always avoided going back & looking closely at the system & the place where I started my life.
Initially it was deeply, deeply depressing & enraging.

NEW: China is testing a megawatt-scale airborne wind system that captures stronger high-altitude winds, potentially producing up to 10× more energy with 40% less material and 30% lower costs. It could also be quickly deployed to supply emergency power after disasters.

Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing
