Having the World Cup and Olympics here under the Trump regime is really a recipe for disaster. Again: why would any player or fan come here under these circumstances? Especially non-white people? Expect more of this👇🏽

By the way they put out the cell phone video that the shooter was holding WHILE he shot her, because they know it’s incriminating and they think they can control the narrative by releasing it and saying “it proves our side.”

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car. He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times. The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”. They hate women & it shows.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive. The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
