Powerful words. This isn’t about skin tone; it’s about coveting being β€œwhite” and using it as a bludgeon and a way to curry favor and a way to feel superior, β€œculturally” or otherwise.

β€œThere’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointmentβ€” which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Thus, horribly, is an inevitable outcome of secret masked forces not required to show IDs to the public.

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a β€œred herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

The premise behind ICE is weaponized β€˜No True Scotsman’ fallacy.

This poor man. Pure inhumanity.

And how the hell are you supposed to know that these men are really officers?

The Washington Post used to say β€œDemocracy dies in darkness.” That was before the big media outlets were bought up by billionaires. Local news outlets that fearlessly report what is really happening - like the Mississippi Free Press - are desperately needed to tell the truth.

I’m not excusing it. This is terrible journalism and unfair to grieving family and terrified community here.

Careful. As soon as you click into the story, it says it is β€œunconfirmed” in large print. At this point, this is rumor. We’ll report as soon as we have substantiated sourcing at @mississippifreepress.org.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

What police agency anywhere has use of force standards that involve pointing a weapon at someone who poses no imminent threat to life or injury? Just incredibly, unnecessarily escalatory and unprofessional.
