In the United States, men commit the vast majority of violence against women, with the highest percentage of perpetrators being intimate partners, ex-partners, or acquaintances, rather than strangers. Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to adult women, with nearly 1,800 women murdered annually by men. Bureau of Justice Statistics (.gov) Bureau of Justice Statistics (.gov) +3 Intimate Partners: Approximately 63% of female homicide victims are killed by current or former husbands or boyfriends. Known Individuals: Roughly 92% of female homicide victims were killed by a man they knew, according to 2018 data. Sexual Assault: Four out of five (80%) rapes against females are committed by males. Demographic Data: Research shows that while victims can be of any background, Black women often experience higher rates of severe domestic violence. Bureau of Justice Statistics (.gov) Bureau of Justice Statistics (.gov) +2 Most sexual assault perpetrators are men known to the victim, such as friends, classmates, coworkers, or intimate partners, says the RAINN report on perpetrators of sexual violence.

Paul Musgrave tweet from 1/12/17 - around the department: Americanists- “how bad can it be really?” Conservatists- “dictatorship, purges” International Relations- “nuclear war” Americanists- “haha no seriously” IR and comparative- “who is joking?”
The country with 5,500 nuclear warheads scores lower on governance than the one it just bombed.
The person, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the meeting and spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the tone of the meeting was cordial but Amodei didn't budge on two areas he has established as lines Anthropic won't cross -- fully autonomous military targeting operations and domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens. The Defense Department did not immediately comment. Amodei has repeatedly made clear his ethical concerns about unchecked government use of AI, including the dangers of fully autonomous armed drones and of AI-assisted mass surveillance that could track dissent.

NARRATIVE #21: "Border Patrol only works at the border" REBUTTAL: Under Trump 2.0, Border Patrol is being deployed to Chicago, LA, Minneapolis, Portland for interior enforcement—conducting traffic stops, workplace raids, and random street checks. They shot two people in Portland the same week Renee Good was killed. Border Patrol is even replacing ICE leadership in some offices. SOURCE: CNN reporting, Axios analysis, ACLU lawsuit documentation (2025-2026)
NARRATIVE #20: "We need to be tough on crime" REBUTTAL: Then why are 94% of identified murderers still free? Why are agents wasting time arresting restaurant workers? Tough on crime means arresting criminals—not terrorizing communities and missing actual threats. SOURCE: ICE data showing 752 of 13,099 identified murderers arrested
NARRATIVE #19: "The agent had no choice" REBUTTAL: He chose to stand in front of a vehicle. He chose to shoot. He chose to call her a "fucking bitch" as she died. Canadian police make different choices and achieve 91.58% compliance without killing people. SOURCE: Video evidence of shooting, audio from agent's phone, Canadian enforcement data
NARRATIVE #18: "She shouldn't have been there" REBUTTAL: Blowing whistles to alert neighbors is First Amendment-protected activity. Being a U.S. citizen in your own community is not a crime. ICE killed her for exercising constitutional rights. SOURCE: First Amendment law, Renee Good's confirmed U.S. citizenship
NARRATIVE #17: "ICE is keeping us safe" REBUTTAL: By arresting 5.7% of murderers and 10.7% of sex offenders? By killing U.S. citizens? By wasting $20 billion/year on volume quotas? That's not safety—that's shareholder profit for private prisons. SOURCE: The Intercept ICE data analysis (2025), private prison revenue data
NARRATIVE #16: "We can't let people just leave voluntarily" REBUTTAL: When given legal process, time to arrange affairs, and dignity in departure, 86-91% of people comply (EU and Canada data). The current system assumes the worst, spends more money, and gets worse results. SOURCE: European Commission pilot evaluation (2025), Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (2025)
NARRATIVE #15: "Reform means open borders" REBUTTAL: Canada enforces immigration law with 91.58% compliance. Sweden enforces immigration law with 68% voluntary returns. They just do it without terrorizing communities, and they arrest more criminals for less money. SOURCE: Comparative international immigration enforcement data
NARRATIVE #14: "The agent feared for his life" REBUTTAL: He positioned himself in front of a vehicle (violating basic officer safety), then shot a woman who was turning away from him. That's not self-defense—that's poor training and panic. SOURCE: Video analysis by multiple news outlets, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey statement
NARRATIVE #13: "This is about border security" REBUTTAL: Renee Good lived in Minneapolis, 1,500 miles from the nearest border. She was a U.S. citizen shot by interior enforcement. Under Trump 2.0, even Border Patrol is being deployed to cities for interior enforcement—this isn't about securing borders, it's about terrorizing communities. SOURCE: CNN reporting on Border Patrol deployment to Chicago, LA, Minneapolis for interior enforcement (2025-2026)
NARRATIVE #12: "Voluntary return doesn't work" REBUTTAL: It has a 91.58% success rate in Canada. That's not theory—that's a functioning system that costs 70% less and arrests 2.4x more serious criminals per capita than the U.S. system. SOURCE: Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada annual report (2025)
NARRATIVE #11: "Agents are protecting communities" REBUTTAL: When agents are arresting parents at school drop-off and missing 94% of murderers, they're not protecting communities—they're terrorizing them. Real protection would focus on actual violent criminals. SOURCE: ICE arrest data showing 33% non-criminals arrested while serious criminals remain at large
NARRATIVE #10: "This is an isolated incident" REBUTTAL: ACLU has documented a nationwide pattern of ICE agents pointing guns at, brutalizing, and detaining U.S. citizens who film them. Renee Good is the latest, not the only. SOURCE: ACLU documentation cited in Laura Jedeed Slate investigation (2026)
NARRATIVE #9: "ICE has strict recruitment standards" REBUTTAL: Journalist Laura Jedeed applied to ICE, never submitted background check paperwork, and was marked "Entered On Duty" anyway. If an anti-ICE journalist whose work is the first Google result can get hired, who else is getting through? SOURCE: Laura Jedeed, Slate investigation (January 13, 2026)
NARRATIVE #8: "Private prisons aren't driving policy" REBUTTAL: GEO Group and CoreCivic donated $2.779 million to Trump's campaign and inaugural. Their stock prices jumped 73% and 56% after his election. GEO Group's CEO called it an "unprecedented opportunity." They're making $1.5 billion annually from mass detention. SOURCE: CREW investigation (2025), SEC filings, investor earnings calls
NARRATIVE #7: "We need more enforcement" REBUTTAL: We need BETTER enforcement. ICE arrested 5.7% of identified murderers because they're wasting resources on restaurant workers. That's not public safety—that's private prison profit margins. SOURCE: ICE data showing 752 of 13,099 identified murderers arrested (The Intercept, 2025)
NARRATIVE #6: "This is about illegal immigration" REBUTTAL: Renee Good was a U.S. citizen. She wasn't even the target—she was blocking traffic to alert neighbors ICE was in the area. The system is so broken it's killing citizens who exercise First Amendment rights. SOURCE: Renee Good's citizenship status confirmed by Minnesota officials, ACLU documentation of pattern of ICE targeting observers
NARRATIVE #5: "ICE agents are just doing their jobs" REBUTTAL: When "just doing your job" means arresting 33% non-criminals to hit quota while 94% of identified murderers remain free, the job is designed to fail everyone—including the agents. Walmart pays better and you don't have to kidnap people. SOURCE: The Intercept ICE data analysis, Walmart starting wage data
NARRATIVE #4: "People won't show up for court without detention" REBUTTAL: Canada achieves 91.58% voluntary compliance without mass detention. EU pilots hit 86% engagement. Sweden gets 68% voluntary returns. The U.S. system is the outlier, not the norm. SOURCE: Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (2025), European Commission pilot evaluation (2025), Swedish Migration Agency (2025)
NARRATIVE #3: "We can't afford alternatives to detention" REBUTTAL: Canadian alternatives cost $10,340/year per person with 91.58% compliance. U.S. detention costs $34,000/year. We'd save $16.8 billion annually while arresting 2.4x more serious criminals. SOURCE: Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (2025), Vera Institute of Justice cost analysis (2025)
NARRATIVE #2: "ICE only arrests criminals" REBUTTAL: 33% of ICE arrests in 2025 had NO criminal record whatsoever (75,000 people). Meanwhile, ICE arrested only 5.7% of identified murderers and 10.7% of identified sex offenders—because they're too busy hitting volume quotas. SOURCE: The Intercept analysis of ICE data (Tillett Wright, 2025)
NARRATIVE #1: "She tried to run over the agent" REBUTTAL: Video from multiple angles shows Renee Good turned her steering wheel AWAY from agents as she drove forward. ICE agent Jonathan Ross positioned himself directly in front of her vehicle—violating basic officer safety training—then fired three shots. SOURCE: Multiple video angles analyzed by CNN, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey statement calling federal narrative "garbage"
WHEN TO ENGAGE vs. WHEN TO WALK AWAY: ENGAGE when: - Someone seems genuinely confused about facts - They're asking questions in good faith - There's an audience who might learn from the exchange - You have time and energy WALK AWAY when: - They're clearly trolling or arguing in bad faith - They ignore facts repeatedly - It's becoming emotionally exhausting - You've made your point and they're circular Your mental health > online arguments
HOW TO USE THIS THREAD 1. Pick the relevant narrative(s) 2. Use the scripted rebuttal 3. Link to full article for people who want more detail 4. Stay calm - these are facts, not opinions Remember: The goal isn't to "win" arguments. It's to introduce facts into spaces dominated by misinformation.

Minnesota Statutes 609.066 If a driver accelerates towards an officer standing in front of the vehicle, this creates an immediate, life threatening danger. The officer doesn’t need to wait until impact; they can act based on the apparent intent and proximity.

WASHINGTON — Border Patrol agents have deliberately stepped in the path of cars apparently to justify shooting at the drivers and have fired in frustration at people throwing rocks from the Mexican side of the border, according to an independent review of 67 cases that resulted in 19 deaths. The report by law enforcement experts criticized the Border Patrol for “lack of diligence” in investigating U.S. agents who had fired their weapons. It also said it was unclear whether the agency “consistently and thoroughly reviews” use-of-deadly-force incidents.

Screenshot of Vanity Fair article that reads: “The casualties almost certainly include unsuspecting fishermen. In 2016, Trump had famously mused that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any supporters. Now he seemed to be testing that idea on the global stage. When a critic on X denounced these killings as “war crimes,” Vance posted: “I don’t give a shit what you call it.” Pressed at an October press conference on why he didn’t just ask Congress for a declaration of war, Trump swatted the question away: “I think we’re just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. Okay?” I asked Wiles…”

Employees working multiple jobs secretly just died. Sorry Reddit/overemployed 🥲 Today Mainstreet launched “Know Your Employee” (KYE). The first real time employment fraud detection across companies. If someone’s secretly working two full time jobs… We know instantly. This changes everything for employers and the employees left picking up the slack for their coworkers taking advantage of them. Excited to share more soon. Right now we’re in private beta but the early results are amazing. If you’re interested in learning more and not burning money on employees who work there for 3 months and get fired while draining your run rate drop us a note to: KYE@employer.com to join our waitlist.

The leak, which U.S. intelligence agencies later attributed to Russian hackers aiming to bolster support for Republican nominee Donald Trump, created significant controversy just days before the Democratic National Convention. The revelations reinforced Sanders’ supporters’ claims that the primary process was rigged, threatening party unity and overshadowing Hillary Clinton’s nomination. As a result, both Sanders and Democratic leaders, including the Clinton campaign, pressured Wasserman Schultz to step down to prevent further distraction.
