#3 in Black History Month: Caste: the origins of our discontent, written by Isabelle Wilkerson & narrated by Robin Miles. I also bought the book. I'm only 1/3 in and it's a lot to digest. It has helped me to better understand the motivations-saying the quiet parts out loud.

Jonathan Ross's court case where he was "dragged" by a car 6 months ago. #ice #dhs #reneegood
Jonathan Ross was part of Customs & Border Patrol during the timeframe observed in a report by an Independent Agency hired by #CBP to review the use of force. It suspects that Agents step in front of moving vehicles in order to justify the lethal use of force, typically to stop a fleeing suspect.
ICE has ~2,270 agents in their region. This is so fucking ridiculous. At this point it's all for show because of some idiot influencer named Nick Shirley who fakes videos to rile the base against liberals. Someone. Should sue HIM for defamation.
"The first goal that we've got right now is safety—we are trying to keep people safe in the city. The second goal is we're trying to get ICE out of here." Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey joins Tim Miller on today's Bulwark Podcast.
Anyone who knows Jonathan E Ross, who called #ReneeGood a fucking bitch after he executed her in the street, should notify the MN Atty General. Info of his temperament, biases, rhetoric, etc could help force oversight & accountability, plus her children's $$ future. 1/2 #ice
If you know #ice Agent Jonathan Ross & can speak to his character & views, or if you can personally speak to improper training & protocols, notify #Minnesota Attorney General's office. The MN AG can sue the #DOJ & fight for accountability. Please encourage people to report. (2/2) #reneegood

We need to start filing open records requests with the feds & in the state & local jurisdictions where they are killing people. We need to send preservation demands & start filing lawsuits . Noem should be impeached immediately and removed from the military base. Pay for her own security.
Bottom line: ICE agents were having a temper tantrum over a protestor, who tried to leave as directed. The chief of police holds a good presser, as well.

LaMallfa, was in his seventh term ... . He was elected to the House in 2013 after serving in both the state Assembly and Senate. “He was never afraid to fight for rural communities, farmers, and working families. Doug brought grit, authenticity, & conviction to everything he did in public service.”
Rep. LaMalfa represented parts of rural Northern California for more than a decade. His death further reduces Republicans’ slim House majority.

Is it just me, or does Stephen Miller remind anyone else of a pissed-off dalek? #doctorwho
MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want? M: *yells*
