Wow. @msnowreports.bsky.social is off the rails. They have no idea why people believe the WHCD “shooting” is a false flag / was staged. 🫤 Seriously dudes? Because you were in the room and weren’t read in on the drama that was planned means it wasn’t planned? Weird flex Katy Tur, but ok.

When you learned about the Iran hostage crisis, did they teach you this part? In November 1979, during the crisis, Black hostages and women were released first. Ruhollah Khomeini said they were oppressed in the United States and not part of the power structure, so they weren’t seen as spies.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Remember that the ICE agents claimed they were looking for a totally different person before they smashed this guy’s car windows? And how he had asylum already? Well, looks like that might not have even been a ruse. ICE didn’t even file a notice to appear in court, they clearly had nothing on him.
At a hearing this week, the case against Méndez was thrown out after Department of Homeland Security (DHS) attorneys failed to present a charging document.
"The judge said, I'm going to deem this a failure to prosecute and the case is closed, dismissed," Méndez's attorney, Ondine Galvez Sniffin, told
NBC 10. "That's it."
Sniffin said the DHS attorney did not say a single word.
"He could have said, Your honor, we'll be filing [charges] within the hour.' Could have asked for a second call. Could have said they reserve the right to appeal," she said. "Absolute silence.
Nothing."
