Filming ICE is an act of journalism. Cell phone footage is vital source material for reporters who can’t be everywhere at once.
Shooting, killing and other targeting of those documenting news is an attack on press freedom and all else that's good in the world.

Videos show federal agents killing Minneapolis man
Some details of federal government’s account of the shooting aren’t supported by footage captured by bystanders.

The Policy Director for the President of the United States said that the VA nurse was murdered because he was an “assassin.”
And not one Republican in Congress will say a god damn word about because they are spineless cowards.

• A federal agent is repeatedly beating Alex Pretti in the head with his pepper spray canister
• Pretti is in a turtle position, has his arms above his head protecting his head / face

Outstanding investigative journalism by CBC Marketplace to expose how cozy property controls between supermarkets & mall owners are reinforcing sky-high prices: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYdi.... I add some economic context about how food retailers have increased profits 150% since 2019.

It is more important than ever to bear video witness of not just every masked ICE incursion, but every police stop by actual cops.

Alexi Pretti was a loved and respected nurse helping critically ill veterans.
He was beaten and murdered on the streets of Minneapolis by paramilitaries in the employ of Donald Trump.
This is not a nation that can be trusted at any level.

Fact check: The US trades a lot more with China than Canada does - not just in absolute $ but also relative to each country's total trade.
* US trade with China = 10.9% of total US trade
