https://www.ms.now/rachel-maddow/watch/trump-s-ice-prison-escalation-collides-with-american-resistance-2479740995856* Short version of the The Cold Blooded I.C.E. Murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis:
ICE decided to shoot a mother point blank four times in the face for just being in the way a few blocks from where the police murdered George Floyd for pleasure the last time Trump was in office. They are now lying that somehow being in the way constitutes violent terrorism and that after they killed her, her foot pressed down on the accelerator which retroactively justifies them killing her since their shooting her in the face for fun so many times caused her corpse to endanger ICE officers.
They tell these lies knowing that multiple people filmed the incident. I saw footage before hearing or seeing what people were saying, and I thought they were yelling at her to get out of the way. They claim they were yelling for her to get out of the car. Odds are they were yelling both as screaming contradictory orders give police and ICE a pretext to murder people for fun so they do it a lot.
They refused to let a physician on the scene try to resuscitate her and deliberately blocked the ambulance that arrived 15 minutes later so they had to carry her body away by hand.
Warning: video news items include footage of the murder (though not the victim), and images of the car's blooding interior after the murder.* "Eyewitnesses say Renee Good posed ‘no threat’ to ICE agents:"

* I keep needing a stupid amount of rest. This is coinciding with Livia deciding to go back to stretching out on top of me for loves, like she used to before Tavy's health started to deteriorate. She is doing way more often, and even taking short naps on occation, despite no longer being ill. She has also been experimenting with some new positions, ones that were Tavy's. She has days when her appetite is winter normal, and days when she is extra sad and not eating much. She is still weird about the sofa and desk mesting spots, where I think absense is loudest, though I see her scouting her old spots now and then and even sitting very briefly. I miss having her in her desk box while I'm at the computer, but she clearly needs more time.
Last week we did physio preliminaries. Wednesday afternoon, we started in earnest. The physio is really good I think. She is treating hipes, upper legs, butt, and core muscles all as a connected system. The excercises are subtle, but challenging. She printed them out, but I left without them. Sigh. I also sabandoned the new rubber thingie I need to do one of the excercises. I'll see if I can dig up an arm one of the same strength and get help tying it right. Let's also hope I remember all five excercises tomorrow.
I had already spent the gas to get that far. The plan was to go up one more exit to the Ethical grocery. Only my brain autopilot tried to taker me home while I was mentally running over my grocery list, which meant I had to go down one exit, then up two. No disabled parking, of course and my ankle dislocated again second time this week as I hobbled across the parking lot. I had planned to use the riding cart anyway as physio takes a lot out of me, but still.
Oh course the grocery was full of people blocking whole aisles with their carts because other people don't exist and they absolutely needed to stand a cross the mouth of an aisle to have a long think or make a phone call instead of pulling foreward. I accidentally was an asshole myself at check out because I forgot that at least half needs to be groceries to be allowed to write a check and I'd bought all the groceries on EBT. They needed to be seperate transactions, so we had to void out half the groceries to balance the cost of TP on a seperate transaction.
I went in looking for 5-7 things. (Five must gets. Two if they have its). I got six as they hadn't the seventh, which is annoying as I kept forgetting to pick up number seven every time I left the house in the last week including when I was literally in the grocery I knew had it, I think last Friday. I did look for it, but they have limitted range in that area and I need a specific brand and flavour. This week has just been like this.
I had to load the bag, tp, and flat of ramen onto a regular cart to take to the car. Someone had to wait for me to get it and then I couldn't get my coat on because my shoulder wasn't working right. So I'm standing on a dislocated ankly trying not to cry from pain and frustration because my arm wouldn't bend right to go in the coat. I fucking hate being in the way. Being in the way twice because my stupid artificial jointed arm is locked up again is worse. She was nice about it, but it was painful and rude on my part.
I did not cry until after I got the groceries in and away.
At least only one of the physio homework things requires standing at this stage.
* Once again, I low key needed to go to the library, but also I needed to get ingredients for things New Millennial preps for me at home, like the rescue lasagna they turned up with after my physio Wednesday night. Don't worry, they get paid for this. It's a perfectly reasonable accommodation for them as they can just do work to help me whenever they are up to it. They bring prepped things back when they come to work and take ingredients away.
I did fill sets of the three horrible exercises that look like I'm not doing much of anything, but are Exhausting. Livia and I did the thing where she has Rainbow toy pettin time. (She likes me to pet her while she plays the the rainbow catnip toy a friend gave her in December, because otherwise it is Too Much). We then did feather time.
I dragged myself out to do errands yet again. This time my ankle did not pop out, but I just don't have a lot of non-physio spoons right now, so it was A LOT. I am spending way too much money on food, but I've been chasing some vitamin deficiencies the last month and a half. I think today I finally achieved Enough Vitamin C and I hit enough Apple a couple of days ago, but I keep having to buy fresh vegetables and the like trying to find the other shortages.
I remembered the thing I need to get from one of two specific stores, but I was done in, food needed to be put away, and I owed the two more vigorous physio exercises. I just didn't have it in me to stop one more place.
Squirrel's still being yanked around by the same work that gave them an award last month over a work injury that turns out to be a torn rotator cup, so they are having to work with it instead of getting light duty. They are fighting it, but in the meantime they are doing more damage every time they work. So now neither of us can really take out the trash. For me it's hard limit. My arm can't do it. For them they risk serious injury every time. I can't do anything about trash, but I'm trying to do a system that lets me take out recycling in smaller amounts. Which means I have to block the door with sort boxes, but there is no help for it. Every time I have the dolly inside, I put a sort box on there and take it out every time I go. I have done this A LOT the last week and a half.
When I took out paper box today I went to put the dolly in the car and FOUND the band and physio direction. O.o In my defense it was dark when I left physio and there was stuff going on with a dog and I was already exhausted. The physio things ended up under groceries and weren't visible in the dark and shadows when I got home. So I have those now, which meant I could check reps and hold times and also realized I left something off the first horrible exercise I was working on. D'oh! I am not fucking redoing them. I will do the harder version tomorrow. Anyway, the makeshift we did with the band wasn't as good so I now have an exactly correct one.
