Migrants scrambled to hide in the brush, and later told authorities they could hear a man’s voice cursing at them to “come out." Then the warden allegedly fired a pair of shotgun blasts in their direction.

“Did you get him?" the warden’s brother allegedly asked him, according to a state affidavit released Friday.

A man from the group was killed, and a woman was shot in the stomach. The brothers allegedly drove away without checking to see if the bullets had hit anyone, investigators said.

Aren't these the people the Republicans call invaders? When you radicalize your followers into believing people who aren't like them are their enemies, then those people's lives don't matter

I'm curious, should this be classed as right-wing violence or left-wing violence?

Scrolling down a bit I see John Fetterman's tweet about the man from Oz. Funny stuff.

The United States of Confederate America
Support for Confederate symbols and monuments follows lines of race, religion, and education rather than geography.

Jardina finds that white identity politics doesn’t necessarily require racial animus, but it’s also clear that Trump and many of his followers do harbor racial animus. The PRRI-EPU study finds that, at the very least, people who do not believe that structural racism exists are much more likely to support Confederate monuments. That helps explain how the U.S. ended up with a Queens-reared, longtime-Manhattan-dwelling president wrapping himself (metaphorically) in the Confederate flag and praising Lee.

“If we look back to the primaries for the 2016 presidential election, Trump won both Mississippi and Michigan, and with this mantra of ‘Make America great again,’” Jones said. “I continue to think the most powerful word in that mantra is the last one, because it harkens back to this nostalgia for a white Christian America that has Confederate overtones.”

Huh. Do we know anyone from one of these states who just might be a flaming White Nationalist, racist piece of shit?

Anybody that says both parties are the same is an absolute idiot... or worse.
