What Fox News *doesn't* cover is at least as important as the things they do cover. This selective blindness also applies to anti-anti-Trump conservatives who ruthlessly dissect every left wing utterance but pretend Trump and the right do not exist.

one common thread (among the horrifying many) between the numerous ICE shootings/murders is that no first aid was administered to the victim. armed combatants of the government shot to kill, and if they didn’t kill right away, they gave time for it to happen anyway. it is absolutely grotesque.
