"Nothing makes people lose trust in news organizations as much as when they’ve seen something with their own eyes -- and then see news coverage that doesn’t comport with what they themselves experienced.
Case in point: Legacy media coverage of the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good at the hands of an ICE agent earlier this week."

Continue to fight? I think for many if not most, there hasn't been a lot of fight shown on the left side of Hitler. Not even a realization that maga leadership and the racist base is already on a war footing, and is arming for escalation.
@aka_quant_noir For many, yes. Far from all, however, as the No Kings protests showed us. For many, there's a sense of despair about knowing how to respond effectively.

"Maya Angelou’s words spring to mind: 'When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.'
Vance has told us plainly that he’s a liar who is willing to fabricate narratives and spread misinformation in order to draw political attention to a matter. That means whenever Vance goes before the cameras, we should start from the assumption that he’s out once more to 'create stories.'”
~ Jay Kuo
"When a society begins to treat lethal force as an ordinary instrument of governance, it has already surrendered something essential — not only justice, but imagination. It can no longer envision safety without coercion, or authority without threat. Violence becomes thinkable. Then acceptable. Then routine.
We keep saying: This is not who we are. But is that true anymore?"
~ National Catholic Reporter
"It is as if our very souls have left us. Values once spoken aloud — restraint, accountability, the sanctity of life — now feel quaint, even suspect. Our vice president, who considers himself a committed Catholic of solid standing, calls the ICE shooting a tragedy of the victim's 'own making.'"
"A nation does not renew itself by force. It renews itself when enough people decide that moral exile is unacceptable — and that dignity, once reclaimed, must be defended in public.
We are, finally, at the crossroads — the one we all knew was coming long before Minneapolis.
What remains unknown is which direction we will take."
“A leading Catholic paper [National Catholic Reporter] has branded JD Vance a ‘moral stain’ and accused the vice president of having a ‘twisted and wrongheaded view of Christianity’ for his comments on a woman killed by ICE.”
