Utterly bizarre and sycophantic profile. NYTimes Pitchbot couldn't have even made this up: "She wants to spread happiness into every room she enters, but happiness can’t scale. Happiness can’t pay the rent." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/b...

Despite the federal government's missteps on this and other cases, there appears to be little downside for the administration. The federal government is still not cooperating with local investigators in the shootings of three residents by federal agents, two fatally. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
The @sahanjournal.bsky.social wrote about the existence of this video last month. The NYTimes published/analyzed it today. It's yet more evidence undermining the feds' narrative about what happened when Julio Sosa-Celis was shot and wounded by an ICE agent Jan. 14 (1)
