RT by @chrisadonnelly: Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said to this ICE agent, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The agent got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, 'Are you afraid now?' To which I said, 'I am not afraid.' The next thing I knew, they were putting handcuffs on me, and they put me in the back of an SUV. I asked them if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'

RT by @chrisadonnelly: I'm a former defense attorney and currently a civil liberties attorney with no political dog in this fight. I watched the video at least 10 times from different angles and at different speeds and waited to offer an opinion, which I still reserve the right to change if additional information changes the calculus. It is very clear that the officers instigated the confrontation. The woman initially tried to wave them past her. ICE officers have no authority to search a US citizen or arrest her (unless there's probable cause to believe she's harboring undocumented individuals, not a contention here). A woman surrounded by masked, armed men who have no law enforcement authority over her has every right to try to escape. Video shows her steering wheel is turned to the right, clearly an attempt to leave WITHOUT hitting anyone and steer clear of the officer standing towards the front of her car. That officer had time to step to the side, which is where he was when he shot her. Even a real police officer would not have the right to shoot at her for trying to flee. This is well-established in the case law; deadly force may not be used simply to prevent someone from getting away. Given that the ICE officers had no law enforcement authority to begin with, AND the video footage shows she was trying to escape a perceived threat, not to kill anyone, the crime is all the more inexcusable. I'm praying for the victim's family, especially her children. I'm also praying for all the conservatives who are so unprincipled and lost they're excusing this terrible crime, and gloating over a death that will leave three young children motherless, because of the victim's politics.

RT by @chrisadonnelly: A lot of people seem unaware of the achievements of the socialists in Venezuela 🇻🇪 before US sanctions wrecked the economy. Here's a rundown by the numbers (taken from the United Nations and quoted in my book, "Bad News From Venezuela, 20 Years of Fake News and Misreporting"): GDP per capita: 1999: $5150 2012: $6434 Poverty: 1999: 49.4% 2012: 25.4% Extreme Poverty: 1999: 17.9% 2012: 7.1% Unemployment: 1999: 15.0% 2012: 8.1% School Enrollment: 1999: under 50% 2012: Almost 75% Undernourished population: 2000-2002: 3.8 million 2010-2012: "Not statistically significant number" [i.e.: close to zero] Doctors per 10,000 inhabitants: 1998: 18 2012: 58 Number of free health clinics built, 1999-2012: 7,000 Number of people receiving old age pensions: 1999: 0.39 million 2012: 2.1 million During the years of Hugo Chavez (1999-2012/2013), the government built a nationalized healthcare and education system from scratch. In 2005, UNESCO declared Venezuela free of illiteracy. This doesn't mean everything was perfect by any means, but the gigantic and extraordinary successes the country was making attracted academics, statisticians, and epidemiologists from around the world to study it. Indeed, in 2013, the UN awarded Venezuela special recognition in combatting poverty and achieving rapid human development. They were able to do this because Chavez nationalized the country's resources (oil) and used the profits to fund social programs, rather than enrich foreign billionaires. It was precisely this threat of a good example that precipitated a massive US economic blockade of the country, which crippled the economy, and led to mass emigration and hardship. The United States is and was terrified that such a successful example of socialism would inspire people across the planet into believing a better world is possible.

RT by @chrisadonnelly: France is now in the grotesque situation where Macron openly cheers Trump's illegal act of aggression in Venezuela while Marine Le Pen condemns it, saying that supporting it would be "to accept our own enslavement tomorrow". You just can't understand European politics with a "left-right" axis anymore. Sovereignty v submission is much more relevant. And to make it even more absurd, Trump's National Security Strategy openly backs the likes of Le Pen - labelled "patriots" - vs Atlanticist liberals like Macron. Which frankly makes Macron even more pathetic: he genuflects to an administration that openly despises him.
