DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
it's insane that my country's current position is that, if we don't like the leader of a sovereign nation, not only do we get to kill them we get to pick their successor
there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).
the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.
Definitely, but we gotta learn to burn the stumps before it's too late.
The cycle we're in is that Trump hires somebody awful to do awful things, then when people are ready to riot, the person gets fired and replaced with somebody as bad or worse.
As long as he can replace them, we're sinking.
We have succeeded in severing one of the hydra's heads!!!
Any student of mythology should understand exactly what kind of victory this is.

This sucks. Love Bruce Campbell. Fun story though: when I was a kid running a BBS out of my house without my parents knowing, a friend gave Campbell the BBS number during a press junket for Army of Darkness. And he called it! Left a message behind for the board users. It was super cool of him.
Kids these days think entropy is cool, but it’s not.
It’s what makes everything else cool.
The number of stylists I am aware of has now been brought to a total of 1.
It will probably revert to 0 in pretty short order.
The number of questions I had about any of this stuff,
multiplied 10,000 fold when I encountered the words "Law Roach."
Trump promised to “Make America Great Again,” and the moment he got into office he went on a tour of the most evil dictatorships in the planet, praising Putin and Kim Jong Un for their brilliant leadership.
It’s never been a secret that “Great” to Trump has always meant “brutal authoritarianism.”
Trump’s “MAGA commitment” has always and only been to:
1. Enrich and aggrandize himself.
2. Openly accept bribes.
3. Piss off Liberals (and other humans with souls)
Bombing Iran is in keeping with this commitment as long as Trump made the attack for personal profit and/or aggrandizement.
Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.
Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.
Here’s a radical idea for Congress: abolish ICE, dismantle DHS, then take that ICE/CBP BBB slush fund and rebuild our national security apparatus, joint terrorism task force, and alphabet agencies as independent entities. We’re going to need them again. Trump won’t sign it, but let’s write it.
these people should all hang
Trump: (robs a bank, smokes a bowl of crack, rapes a child on live TV, announces that “King Kong got nothin’ on me.”)
Internet: He’s just doing this to distract from the Epstein files!!!
Seems to be the pattern…
Same answer as always:
The USA allowed decades of mass brainwashing by the rightwing media industry to run unchecked.
As more and more mass media is bought up by Trump allies, the problems will continue to get worse.
Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and created this mess. Now, he's putting servicemembers in harm's way with no clear plan and no Congressional approval. The American people deserve answers — and Congress needs to do its job.
It happens!
😄👍
I remember no sex or incest in the Priest’s story.

OR find a way to arrest him without impeachment.
I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.
We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness — or one rooted in cruelty and rage.
This is amazing.
