Different person. This is Aliyah Rahman, not Renee Good. She is the disabled woman who was told to move her car by ICE agents. The only way was forward, towards the ICE agents. She was terrified that they would shoot her if she did that.

Almost unbelievable.

There is a new analysis in the NY Times which clears up some of the confusion about what we can see in the various videos. It mainly concerns the POV video taken by the agent who shot Renee. Firstly, when we hear the thud which many interpreted as the agent being hit by the car. That is...

The ICE statement specifically says that Rahman was told to move her car. Who knows what they would have done if she had got out of the car instead, leaving it blocking the road.

We are not talking about when Renee tried to drive off. We are talking about what caused the agents to try to arrest her in the first place. She was parked at least a hundred yards away from their operation. She had left one lane of a two lane street open. Traffic was flowing freely. Nobody was...

Different powers and authorities.

Is it about the right to protest, including filming law enforcement?

This is so tawdry and sad. Trump finally decides to attack Venezuela because Maduro mocked his dancing. And then he decides which regime will run that country based on whichever leader creeps up to him the most. He lets Putin have Ukraine because Zelensky wouldn't manufacture dirt on Biden...

I think the argument is that, even though Renee wasn't actually doing anything wrong and the agents were trying to arrest her without good cause, as long as the killer reasonably believed his life was in danger and he had no other option, such as stepping out of the way, then the shooting would...

Trump still wants Greenland. He says it is about defence. But USA already has the right to station 10,000+ troops there. And Denmark and Greenland are open to pretty much whatever USA wants to do there military wise. Trump is lying. Just like when he said Venezuela was about drugs, not oil. He...

Since I started posting again, I think I'm being much more selective about which threads I post on. So, I'm only really posting to give out information and help explain things, rather than to ask questions and learn stuff.

During the BLM protests in Washington, Trump asked the military leaders whether the protestors could be shot. This time around he is many times more brazen. In addition, he has since been given full immunity by the Supreme Court for anything he does as President. I believe that, if there are...

If there were mass protests against him, Trump 2.0 would definitely have them shot. He almost did last time, but was talked out of it.

I asked Google AI about the combined impact of these three major events from 1979. I found the answer a useful starting point: 'In 1979, three major events occurred that fundamentally reshaped the geopolitical and religious landscape of the Middle East and the broader Islamic world. The...

There was an interesting analysis in the NY Times yesterday. Basically saying that, after fifty years, both the Iranian regime and the people are now exhausted and have accepted that they will not be able to spread the Islamic revolution. The upshot was that everyone is ready for more sensible...

Does Reform really need any more slimy grifters.

I'm just trying to get it straight in my head because I've lost track. Is this the stage that originally would have included Tony Blair.

That sounds like he is usually reliable, then? Where is he based?

Are these strikes being reported anywhere else. I am finding it a bit difficult to work out how serious this guy is, because he keeps laughing etc.
