A Message from Your Federal Overlords โ€œEven as videos emerged that contradicted the governmentโ€™s account, the Trump administration was in a race to control the narrative around the kill...

"If you witnessed something disturbing, please understand that witnessing is not evidence. Evidence is what exists after it has been reviewed by the people who require it not to exist."

NEW: Another declaration you have to read! Alex Pretti was shot near the apartment of a doctor, who saw the shooting occur and rushed to provide emergency aid as he lay dying on the street.

They describe what they saw: "The victim had at least three bullet holes in his back."

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Watching this in particular. The effort to take witnesses to Whipple, as well as the police refusing to leave the scene, are key.

ICE just shot someone in Minneapolis. Video posted at Reddit's r/Minneapolis forum. I can't figure out how to link. Looks like point blank while they were restraining him.

We didnโ€™t go to the big Ice Out of MN march in Minneapolis today, but we did bundle up and participate in a small neighborhood demonstration just a few blocks from our house in Saint Paul. #iceout #stpaulmn #mn #minnesota

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing heโ€™s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Homeland Securityโ€™s description of what happened and the narrative theyโ€™re pushing clearly doesnโ€™t match up with the videos weโ€™re all seeing.

Theyโ€™re asking people not to believe what we can all see with our own eyes.

Iโ€™ve been in contact with DHS demanding more information.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. Iโ€™m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Not true.

This isnโ€™t about protests. Itโ€™s about power. ICE is terrorizing communities. Prices are crushing families. The systemโ€™s cracking and Trump knows it. Thatโ€™s why heโ€™s sending in Marines. Not to stop violence, but to stop visibility. Stay strong, LA.

Though it's not my usual cup of tea, ended up enjoying the Netflix "Four Seasons" series -- especially the looming presence and eventual deployment of Chekhov's guitar.

President Trump fires Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden President Donald Trump has abruptly fired Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden as the White House continues to purge the federal government of those perceived to oppose the president and his agenda.

Already dreading to find out who he'll appoint as the new Librarian of Congress...

The most recent episode of The Rehearsal is astonishing in so many ways, but the small moment I keep thinking about is when he casually but with a serious tone referred to the "cat actor" who was standing in for the original , pre-cloned little dog's actual cat companion. It cracked me up so bad.

The whole is uneven but Rhys is very good in it. He brings to it a little of his Perry Mason but with more angst and intensity if that's even possible.

Whether itโ€™s Republicans causing chaos with random arrests and deportations, Republicans causing chaos with mass layoffs, or Republicans causing chaos with whiplash tariffs, voters are exhausted by chaos from both parties.
