I signed up for Bluesky after leaving all the other anti-social media sites behind. But more people here seem intent on bringing me the shit from those sites that I do not want to see or read. That’s why I block anyone who re-posts from X, FB, or TS.

Video of today's ICE killing from another angle...
You can clearly see the victim peacefully filming ICE agents with no gun present in either of his hands...
It sounds like he was shot approximately 5 to 10 times. Some shots were fired at the victim after he was prone on the ground.
