   First shot. Side of the car. He had already stepped aside of the vehicle   
   inching forward with its wheels clearly turned to the right... to comply with   
   the demand to "get out of here" (a demand she had no legal obligation to   
   follow given how ICE had no jurisdiction over her).

   Not an excuse for ending democracy. No patriot should back the a fascist   
   oligarch pushing echoes of Nazi Germany. Ever.

   It's impossible for someone who is at war with themselves to be at peace with
