Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

the nyt says that no version of events in minneapolis can be "verified independently." but that's not true! there are multiple videos proving that the ICE version of events is a total lie. maybe the nyt can, y'know, watch one of them? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

if you missed it yesterday, no worries: let every day be Three Kings' Day, in your heart

DHS executed that woman to send a message to those of us observing a documenting. They want no resistance and no record of their terror.

Worth noting that E1 is so disastrous and blatant that the EU was threatening to sanction the Israelis for this over a decade ago, and internal communiqués revealed that the British *under the Conservatives* were prepared to recognize Palestine in response.

the first public elected official who calls for riots and fire will win the presidency

"I ask folks to remain calm." Stop asking angry residents to calm down and start demanding that ICE leave or cease hostile activity. TAKE THE SIDE OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS.

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

cops deliberately shout conflicting instructions/instructions for what you're already doing, so that they can do shit like this and have pathetic losers cape for them

The message here should be “we want the shooter.”

Any one of us could be shot or kidnapped because an ICE agent doesn’t like the look of us. Are you prepared to be murdered in cold blood while “news” sources repeat the claim you were “weaponizing your vehicle” trying to leave your driveway? They want you to accept that. They want to make it normal

ICE just murdered a woman here in Minneapolis. A legal observer. Shot her multiple times while she drove away as ordered. She was a US citizen. Absolute, unequivocal, cold-blooded murder by Trump’s gestapo. Abolish ICE, jail for everyone in charge. This is the lowest bar we accept now.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

every single person involved with or hired by ICE should be arrested, tried, convicted, and publicly executed

"Please avoid this area" is a message of support for ICE and DHS. Elected leaders in Minneapolis should tell every resident to head down there to protest the federal government into leaving.

DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.

MPR playing an eye witness account right now of ICE shooting directly through the windshield at her face and not giving her medical care for 10 minutes.

some called it overly violent (the Ninja Master's Chamber of Death got it banned in the south) and stuffed with far too many special guests (Marshal Haig AND Zsa Zsa Gabor!?), but for my money, you can't beat the series finale to "My Mother the Car"

Charles Addams Birthday, so here's some of my favorite comics of his, each one absolute perfection:

Today is the birthday of cartoonist Charles Addams (Jan. 7, 1912-Sept. 29, 1988), the creator of the one-panel comic strip that came to be known as The Addams Family, which first appeared in The New Yorker.

Yes

hell fucking yeah.

Okay I'm committing, I'm doing a #ttrpg blog this year. My first post is about Star Borg, a game I really enjoyed running. piklizdungeon.blogspot.com/2026/01/2026...

The Walls Are Closing In on Us is @trentbwrites.bsky.social’s first novel and we’re lucky to publish it. It’s first and foremost a good yarn, after that it is an exploration of American identity, the way you are able to be whoever you want to be, except/until… malarkeybooks.com/store/thewal...

The truth is out there, they say. Terrestrial, a novella by @suzyeynon.bsky.social, makes you wonder if it is. Wherever you land, though, if you’ve ever been uncomfortable in your own skin this book is for you. malarkeybooks.com/store/terres...

But lo, a stir is in the air! The wave—there is a movement there! As if the towers had thrust aside, In slightly sinking, the dull tide— As if their tops had feebly given A void within the filmy Heaven.

Three Kings' Day, and as is traditional, i have whipped up another lunch-time stream-o-consciousness sword & sorcery pulp musing...though this time we're out of the pulps and into the digests! it's Niven's genre-bending "Not Long Before the End" in 1969's F&SF! geoliminal.com/2026/01/06/n...

Some dumb chud posted a picture of his first class boarding pass saying he can afford it “thanks to Trump” and someone used the booking info to cancel his flight 😆

Incredible how little attention this is getting outside Germany. "In its third full day, a ... power failure in Berlin resulting from an arson attack...tens of thousands...making do without heat, electricity, cellphone service & warm food or drinks." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/w...

There we go. That there’s a headline.

“‘She complained of having chest pains and abdominal cramps, and when she asked the detention staff to see a physician, they refused her,’ [Marie Ange Blaise’s] son told investigators, according to WLRN Public Media.” #AbuseofPowerWatch

The Jan 6 riot was successful. Maybe this will put to bed the constant admonition that "riots don't work."
