This review of videos of the ICE killing of a US citizen in Minnesota suggest that the victim was simply trying to leave and did not endanger anyone. ICE refused to allow people to provide medical aid to the dying woman. And then the administration lied about it. 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.

Despite Gaza ceasefire, war still deadly along Israel’s ‘Yellow Line’
Israel’s enforcement of its shifting demarcation line in Gaza has left hundreds of Palestinians dead in the months since an Oct. 10 ceasefire.

Immigration agents have shot at least 14 people over the past year. That includes:
-3 people who were observing ICE.
-5 people who were driving away.
-4 people who’ve been killed.
-5 people injured.

A local rapid response group I work with is desperately trying to raise $5K tonight to get immediate legal representation for a group member who is facing deportation. It is crucial that these funds be raised by tomorrow. These are organizers I trust.

The protests will grow.
All it takes is a spark.
6 years ago it was the murder of George Floyd, caught on camera, just a mile from where this happened.
Now it's ICE murdering Renee Good.
Both times, MAGA and Trump sided with the murderer.
Enough. We have the numbers.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Let’s say for a second there was a real military need for Greenland(there isn’t, we are already there), we still can’t just annex other countries or territories. That’s called a world war.
This isn’t about Greenland at all; this is about a pretense to take us out of NATO.
