"If that language offends you … Come on. We all heard it before," the singer said.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Dave Matthews tore into President Donald Trump and his administration in the wake of Renee Nicole Good’s fatal shooting by an immigration officer in Minnesota earlier this week.
“I don’t want my taxes to pay for ICE, to masked thugs to roam our streets and terrorize our communities and rip families apart,” Matthews said in a video posted on his birthday Friday. “We should be taking care of each other. We should be minding each other. We should be housing the homeless. We shouldn’t be, you know, throwing people to the ground.”
In his video, Matthews also criticizes the military operation in Venezuela that led to the capture of its president Nicolas Maduro, threats to other countries, involvement in the war in Gaza and ICE operations.
“Which brings me to Renee Nicole Good, murdered in front of her fellow citizens in Minneapolis, murdered in the streets, and no matter what narrative this administration is trying to sell us, we can see the videos,” Matthews said.
Multiple videos of Good’s killing showed the victim being surrounded by immigration officers while she was partially blocking a road. Alleged cell phone footage taken from the point of view of the shooter, identified as Jonathan Ross, shows Good telling him, “It’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you.”
Prosecuting federal agents for any alleged crimes can be tricky work, but it isn’t impossible.
"As a Catholic, Vance knows better than to peddle this brand of gaslighting and agitation," the op-ed read.
"Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor," Renee Good's wife wrote. "That has been taken from me forever."
“It’s one thing to be incompetent and dangerous, but it’s impeachable to break the rule of law,” said Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.).
Europeans "know a thing or two about Hitler," one social media user noted.
In an interview, Tina Smith also ripped top Trump officials for trying to turn a Minneapolis woman’s killing into a political fight: “Where is the humanity here?”
The president's remarks about accepting María Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize sparked serious second-hand embarrassment.
"It’s the only thing that can stop me," the president told The New York Times.
Proposals for a second story to an iconic space and the actual height of the ballroom were discussed during a public meeting.
Republicans in both chambers of Congress broke with President Trump on Thursday, in a sign that his once iron grip on the party is slipping.
The former veep appeared to agree with the president's prediction should Democrats take control of the House.
Getting a fair outcome from an investigation into the shooting "feels very, very difficult," Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz lamented.
The president named the GOP senators who should “never be elected to office again” after they voted with Democrats to limit his powers.
