ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues.
He had just asked to call his wife.
They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw.
Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious.

Yes, exactly, you explained it way better than I did! Thanks.
You're right, I messed that up!

I met Evie, now ten years old, and her mother at a park in Kerrville overlooking the Guadalupe River on a warm afternoon in late February. Though we were a hundred yards away from the water, the lanky girl with sandy blond hair admitted that she was feeling “a little fidgety” about being this close to the same river that had tormented her last summer. I asked Evie if she could explain why she wanted to return to Camp Mystic, a place where she’d lost so many friends. She pondered my question for some time before answering. “Because that’s where they passed on and that’s where they went up to heaven,” she said, explaining her thoughts carefully. “If I stand where they stood when they passed on, I feel like I’m connecting with heaven.”
A heartrending, sensitively told account of the two factions that have formed around the question of Camp Mystic's future. by @peterjholley.bsky.social in @texasmonthly.bsky.social www.texasmonthly.com/news-politic...

Veterans are completely disturbed by the White House's war memes.
The people who have fought and lost loved ones in America's wars tell me they're horrified by how Trump's team has trivialized real combat and sacrifice.
