I very much appreciated this essay by Sarah Jeong this morning. It's a reminder that reality and truth still matters, even in the face of blatant and brazen lies.

@zackwhittaker When they are done with the minorities and then come for you reality will really matter but truth will be an flexible concept coming from the dear leader

#PostOfTheWeek (season 3):
Much of America has now seen the first few seconds of this video obtained by the Minnesota Reformer. ICE agents lean over a vehicle that is slowly pulling out of the street of what appears to be a residential neighborhood. Three shots ring out. The car accelerates and crashes into a line of parked cars.

The full video is over four minutes long, and it’s the other portions that have burned themselves into my brain.

Throughout those four minutes, almost every civilian — dressed in puffy coats and plaid flannel and fluffy knits — eventually takes their phone out to record. They are filming the cars, ICE agents, each other. One woman is walking her dog on the sidewalk at the start.
