As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians.

New proposed rule would include criteria to block grants awards if they are... deemed to 'promote anti-American values.' The rule also requires that discretionary awards must:'...demonstrably advance the President’s policy priorities.'"

Yup. Your job as regular person is not to parse whether particular policies are 'realistic' or 'possible.' You are supposed to actually demand what you need to live a dignified life.

seeing all the folks laid from the WaPo is genuinely sad. They have lost their jobs and a once great media outlet is accelerating its own demise. Bezos could have spent his money to support that institution, but he is choosing not to.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

Another protestor shot dead in Minneapolis by ICE, after being forced to the ground by many agents (at least 6) and beaten. This is a very disturbing video to watch, so if you choose to view it, do it with caution.
