Reminder that a good number (half?) of the ICE/CBP goons who committed crimes are themselves Latinos, many using masks to hide that really ICE is Stephen Miller's armed Latino gang.

Trump won the bottom 18 states in life expectancy(and lost the top 11). I have a strong suspicion that there's nearly 100% overlap between those 18 most prolife states and the ones in which the most voters agreed to give their Social Security Numbers, addresses and other info to Jan 6th […]

Ukraine President Zelenskyy says the consequences of President Trump and the US "allowing Russia to sell oil products were most clearly felt in Kyiv today, when, following numerous attacks with jet-powered Shahed drones against energy facilities, a ballistic missile attack began as well."

Zelenskiy / Official
Що означає дозвіл Росії продавати нафтопродукти, зараз найкраще було чутно в Києві, коли після численних застосувань реактивних «шахедів» проти енергетичних обʼєктів почалася ще й атака балістикою. Частину ракет вдалося збити. Це ще раз чітко демонструє, які справжні наміри у Росії. Вони розраховують на продовження війни, терор проти звичайних людей і знищення інфраструктури. Кожен додатковий мільярд доларів, які вони зможуть заробити на експорті, вони витратять саме на це – на пошук і завезення критичних компонентів, обладнання для виробництва зброї, на посилення «шахедів» і виробництво ракет та ще на додаткових найманців на фронт. Російський вибір – це війна. І вони будуть готові її припинити тільки тоді, коли відчують, що потенціал затягування війни скорочується. Вчора, на жаль, були зовсім інші сигнали для Росії – сигнали, що атакувати надалі начебто можна. І це потрібно виправляти. Потрібні сильні сигнали від Сполучених Штатів, від Європи, від інших партнерів. На підтримку України та на ОБМЕЖЕННЯ російської…

Deescalation tactics named in the handbook include giving verbal warnings or establishing containment zones, like blocking off a street so a subject in a vehicle cannot flee. Even using chemical agents to deter a subject can be considered reasonable force, according to the manual.

A Tennessee appellate court has ruled that the killing of a woman may have been justifiable because she was trans. The court reversed a conviction, stating that the killer could have a new trial because the jury did not know the woman killed was trans. Trans panic in the modern era.

Killing of Woman May Have Been Justifiable Because She Was Trans, Tennessee Court Rules
The case is a bitter reminder of the ways LGBTQ people have had their identities weaponized by the courts in the past, most notoriously through a legal defense tactic known as gay or trans “panic.”
