If not, "Then why don't you denounce them more?"

I am angry tonight.
Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.

Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”

Twenty years ago, the journalist was murdered at the instigation of Russian security services. Documentary filmmaker Eric Bergkraut, who knew her well, recalls in an opinion piece for Le Monde her fight for truth and against Kremlin propaganda – a struggle that is more necessary than ever as Vladimir Putin continues to kill.
