In the meantime, please note carefully the rhetorical deception Republicans are playing in the Senate:
They are whining that Democrats are holding up funding for the whole DHS because “they’re angry about this incident” (meaning the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti) but “There are thousands of arrests that are happening every day that are happening by the book” (i.e. without a murder).
Deception: because the objection isn’t just the two murders; it’s the utterly reckless, unconstitutional, authoritarian behavior of ICE that Good and Pretti were protesting when ICE murdered them.

So there has been a school shooting in British Columbia - and I guess since I spent so much time living and working in the states, I forgot that these are horrifying and traumatizing events - which may just be down to the coverage in the media in the US versus Canada.
That's not to say that the coverage here has been good - quite the opposite in fact - but I will get to that at the moment.
I will qualify this in that I will freely admit that I have no expertise in either mass …

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein.
Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

My request today from Minneapolis to the world, and especially the rest of the USA, is to keep the facts in that linked thread clear, and keep the pressure up on •all• the Senators accordingly.
The problem is not just that ICE murdered two people. The murders (it was more than two) are the tip of a horrible iceberg.

For him, may every moment of every day be full of torment, anguish and pain.
Ice murders a legal observer, who was doing Constitutional things, in cold blood in the street as she drove _away_ from them.
Please download and share the video evidence as much as you can.

Just found out all 12 seasons of #MurderSheWrote are on #Amazon #Prime, and I couldn't be happier. I know, I'm a simple man. Now, shush, my program is coming on right now 😉

I have committed a below average number of murders for a human.

Somehow Detroit got safer without Federal intervention.
I’d bet that a part of that is all the immigrants we have. @… https://mastodon.hong…

All of this is why I get uncomfortable with a certain kind of focus on the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and the mistaken narrative that focus can create.
Don’t get me wrong: we •should• focus on those murders. We should mourn them. Alex was one of the nurses who cared for my father-in-law when he was in intensive care at the VA. My wife remembers how gentle he was, what a good listener. They were my neighbors. Please remember them both.
