For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies
And there are so many terrible outcomes…

The Trump administration cold heartedly ensured the death of thousands of children. The facts speak for themselves. Of course, “sh**hole countries” don’t really matter in Trumpworld. Blood is on their hands. #USAID #Rubio #complicit

Just spitballing here, but maybe if we all took seriously the idea that character matters in a president we would all be better off.
A little bit of history worth knowing. If it’s history, they are trying to wipe it out, to make room for the absurd tales of eternal innocence that bring fascism and bloodshed closer.

This is unconscionable.

The remains of the colosseum where Felicity and Perpetual were martyred. It is difficult to imagine the scope of the place since the structure is mostly destroyed. The seating would have towered high above the ground. There is now a chapel in the center below ground.

I was able to visit the site of their martyrdom recently. One of the moving experiences I have had, as it was combined with the reading of this account.
