IF YOU WATCH THOSE HORRIFYING VIDEOS - ESPECIALLY WITH THE SOUND ON -

Here is an important explainer about how to mitigate the bad effects on our brain and body of witnessing horrible events. Gives details about switches to avoid having videos thrust into your face, and more details about ways to view them that do less damage. Also details how to use Tetris or similar stimuli after viewing. Again, this is all about *mitigataion* while witnessing.

Bookmark. We'll need it this year.

This is by a person who's been dealing with witness traumatization from online materials since she was running Trust & Safety at LiveJournal at the turn of the century. (Some of you Olds will remember that place!)

She has done tons of work around CSAM (Child Sexual Abuse Material). and other violent filth on the internet - and the people who work to try to control and remove it. And many of her colleagues have popped into the comments at both links. This is Denise Paolucci, founder of the DreamWidth platform. who used the handle Synecdochic on DreamWidth and in fandom, and uses rahaeli on BlueSky. Check the Wikipedia article about DreamWidth for more backstory.)

First, let me say I'm as horrified as anyone by this murder.

But I watched the Mayor's statement and understood his anger, but I think a shorter statement with the same amount of fury would have had more impact. I watched him, got his message, but a few minutes in I went elsewhere.

Plus, all networks would have shared the entire statement over and over just like they did the video.

Just swung through the Hampton Inn lot in Lakeville that triggered the Hilton controversy. Out-of-state plates from across the nation. We never see that here in the winter.

Someone should accidently spill a few cartons of roofing nails.

Common ICE tactic, though

Indeed. I just hadn't been sure whether they patched things up with that franchise after it was ejected from the Hilton system. (Or whether there'd even been a real controversy in the first place, given the fake exposé from that Total White Douchebro Faux Journalist).

This happened not far from where other government thugs killed George Floyd. Again, they stopped a doctor from giving aid, to be certain their victim died. Black or white, Venezuelan or American, it doesn't matter to the fascists, they just love to kill.

I have no doubt the ICE goon was using his training when he murdered that woman. That’s the problem.

Photos of the shooter - masked and unmasked - are out there. MAKE HIM FAMOUS and MAKE THEM *ALL* PAY. ICE dragged her from her vehicle and blocked a physician who wanted to render aid. FUCK 'EM, ALL.

Renee was not dragged from her care, though an attempt was made.

She tried to drive past an ICE thug further down the street, who shoot her 3 times, twice through the driver's side window.

Every "un-masked" photo I've seen so far has been AI-generated. He kept his mask on, even pulled it further up. Stick with the real photos while you make him famous. His identity will eventually come out.

These pieces of garbage lie to our faces even when we have incontrovertible evidence of what actually happened. I don't know how that fact surprises me at all anymore, but somehow with how absolutely blatantly full of crap they are about this incident in spite of how exceedingly well documented and witnessed it is I would have thought that they would say "this idiot screwed up and we are investigating the crap out of it their conduct, they're under arrest currently as we investigate and their bond hearing is set for whenever." Because holy crap this is murder.

I guess that it would be too much for ICE & DHS to actually wear ID so that people aren’t terrified of cooperating. This is what happens when you fuck somebody in the ass Bobby. People get hurt.

Godspeed you poor woman. Let there be retribution for their crimes.

The news was just repeating the administration lies. Like without saying well, witnesses say...or anything. Just straight up Shot to Protect Wounded Ice Agents

Villago, man, miss you so much. How right you were.

Not so. Hayes was very clear and Psaki didn't swallow the line either.

They played clips of Donald and Kristi talking instead of just reading back the quotes.

Look up "semiotics"

So they didn’t condemn the act correctly?

ACAB...all cops are bastards. (I still respect police, on an individual basis.) ICE makes that point a billion times more often every day. #F*uckingGazpacho (sic)
