“It is well documented that strongmen are at their most dangerous when they feel threatened,” Ruth Ben-Ghiat writes. “Americans should brace for heightened militarized domestic repression and more imperialist aggression abroad.”

How is this considered acceptable behavior for ICE, if it was even them? Aside from vests that said “police” was there any proper identification from the aggressors?

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Glad the Israeli military is finally acknowledging reality. How could they possibly justify the death and destruction?
The Israeli military has acknowledged in a briefing to Israeli journalists that approximately 70,000 Palestinians were killed during the war in Gaza and that the figures from the health ministry in the enclave are largely accurate, local media reports. https://cnn.it/45CQHxH

This is absurd to put all of those CBP agents involved in the murder of Alex Pretti back onto the streets already.
They pose a very real, proven danger to the community.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
