They want footage of burning buildings & broken windows, not the video of a man executed after he was already on the ground. They want to turn this into a story about “violent protesters,” not about federal agents killing people in our streets. Don't give them what they want.

A colorful cartoon shows two anthropomorphic balloons standing in a room with a green floor and purple walls. Between them lies a burst balloon, flattened and torn, with pieces scattered on the floor next to a smartphone and white earbud wires.

The yellow balloon on the left wears a blue hat and says in a speech bubble: “He was wearing AirPods when it happened. Playlist had some Bieber, a little Taylor Swift and some Gaga.”

The red balloon on the right holds a cigarette and replies in a speech bubble: “Obviously. What was he listening to? Always the same story. When will these kids learn the dangers of pop music?”

The scene uses dark humor and exaggeration, parodying moral panic about pop music.  CARTOON BY SCOTT HILBURN

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress. He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

I think people have the wrong impression that ICE has a legal authority to enforce traffic laws. They can't just pull somebody over because they want to. They can't tell somebody to move their vehicle or get out of their vehicle if they're not impeding.

For decades, cops have been trained not to shoot at moving vehicles. Instead, they are taught to do something much safer for everybody involved: Get out of the way. But the federal agents enforcing President Trump’s mass deportation campaign seem to be taking a far more dangerous path.

Cops are taught not to shoot into cars. ICE keeps doing it anyway.
Immigration agents have shot at least nine people since September. All of them have been in cars.

Russia repeatedly floated the idea of a “very strange swap arrangement between Venezuela and Ukraine," Fiona Hill said in a 2019 congressional hearing.
