The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people local newspaper reporters are rarified elites instead of ink-stained wretches driving their Honda Civic to a crime scene so you know don’t have to rely on Nextdoor and the police press release.
This case is insane:
ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*
The young man they killed had no criminal history.
All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.
We don't know officers' names.
We don't have footage.

We're accepting gold bars from Switzerland in exchange for a lower tariff rate? And weeks after DOJ said no further action on Epstein files, Trump orders an investigation, which means DOJ now can't release files bc of an active investigation? And Flynn wants a settlement? ❗WHAT ❗IS ❗HAPPENING ❗
Same! Ridic

It's time to dial back the insanity and get our shit together, America.
"A midshipman who was sheltered in place thought a member of law enforcement was a threat and hit him with a training weapon. Law enforcement then shot the midshipman, who is at a hospital and expected to recover."
