Screenshot of a post on X by The Tennessee Holler (@Tโฆ) quoting a conversation between Nick Shirley and Shawn Ryan. The post reads: โNICK SHIRLEY: โThey came after me. They came after my family.โ SHAWN RYAN: โHow did they come after you? Be specific.โ NICK SHIRLEY: โThey tried to debunk my whole entire story.โโ A note below says โ(H/T @CalltoActivism).โ Beneath the text is a video still showing a young man wearing a light-colored hoodie sitting in a dimly lit room, gesturing with his hands, with framed artwork and lamps in the background.
Oh no, debunking your false story! How awful for you, Nick Shirley.

Screenshot of headline from Daily Northwestern:
'Get the f-k out of our cities':
Community members hold vigil to honor Minnesota woman killed by ICE
Quoted copy reads:
Abughazaleh told The Daily she had cried five times since learning of the shooting.
"It was a mom that just dropped her kid off at school," Abughazaleh said. "Her wife saw her get shot in the head. She had stuffed animals in her glove box and a dog in her car."
She then called for the abolition of ICE and DHS and for prosecuting federal immigration agents.
"Get the fโk out of our cities," Abughazaleh said. "You're not wanted here. And as soon as we possibly can, we're not just abolishing ICE โ we're holding all of you to account."
Headline screenshot of Evanston RoundTable: Protesters gather to condemn fatal shooting of Minneapolis woman
Quoted copy reads:
Candidate Kat Abughazaleh said if she were in Congress, she would be launching an investigation into the shooting and dismantle the Department of Homeland Security.
"So many of us, including myself, have seen firsthand the brutality that ICE enacts in our communities," she said. "ICE has already shot people in broad daylight, killed people in broad daylight. Shooting a mother in the head ... isn't a surprise, but it still hurts. It still knocks the breath out of your chest."
This is the issue of our time. How we respond to Trumpโs secret police will define our future for generations.
Our community is stronger than any masked henchmen.
ICE: Get the fuck out of Illinois.

The most enlightening and disappointing thing to come out of this ICE shooting is that the right legitimately does not give a fuck about human life if it harms their political narrative.
Watching people malign a 37 year old mother for being murdered by her country is insane.

DC jury acquitted the Sandwich Guy. Lindsay Halligan canโt even bring an indictment because sheโs not legit. Jeanine Pirro couldn't get a conviction because sheโs incompetent.
As the judge pointed out, incompetent Pam Bondi completely screwed up the appointment of Halligan in violation of the law.
