BREAKING: 21-year-old protester, Kaden Rummler, was shot point-blank in the face by ICE. he just spoke about how he’s blind for life and almost died:

“I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can’t fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.”

What the hell is wrong with these people?

Also, pleasing to note that the article refers to Kaden Rummler as he or him throughout and does not call attention to his being transgender. (While to some audiences this is an important fact, given the Guardian’s iffy record on transgender issues I’m glad they didn’t make a thing of it.)
