Border Patrol's use of deadly force criticized in report
An independent review of U.S. Border Patrol shootings criticizes the agency for 'lack of diligence' in its investigations and suggests that agents' tactics sometimes create a pretext to open fire.
"Border Patrol agents have deliberately stepped in the path of cars apparently to justify shooting at the drivers" (BTW, Ross was there, working for Border Patrol in TX when this happened.) Proof it is systemic and has been for a long time.

Sorry if my post wasn't clear...I know someone in the military who is stationed in Kuwait at a US Base. He texted me minutes ago. He is being evacuated. I don't know any other details. I don't know how many ppl or where they are going. He said he feels safe for now, and I shouldn't worry...but I am!

I have a friend stationed in Kuwait who just texted that they were being moved...no other details, obviously, except he is safe and he has trained for this...

Blocks are not personal. I am not your target audience. I tried filtering words first, but sometimes images get through that are nsfw or do not match my aesthetic. It has nothing to do with who the poster is as a person. Comment over. Carry on. ๐

FYI, I'm here on bluesky at least once a day for a quick check in to see what people are talking about. I've tried posting & sharing & participating but it's just too much effort & too time consuming. I end up deleting my activity as if it's a mess that needs cleaning, then go back into lurk mode. ๐คช

15 years ago I was waiting with a little blue bird until the pizza was ready to pick up. It's still my one and only post over there. Today, I'm waiting with a little blue butterfly for the sun to come up...
