The response to the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good is not what the White House was expecting. Like with their hiding of the Epstein files, part of the fundamental problem they are facing is that the stories the Trump administration has built their movement on are being shown for their emptiness.

Protests held across European cities in solidarity with Iran protests

"After a pro-Palestinian group put out the images of the boot stamping on the Star of David, the college condemned that. But when you have these right-wing publications that quote Hitler—that does not get condemnation." @alexbronzini.bsky.social discusses Harvard's double standard on antisemitism.

It's not that difficult.

Anti-government protests continue in Iran for a 14th consecutive night. However, since last night, only a limited number of images and videos have filtered through to global audiences.

Assuming this is a legitimate video, it shows the reason why Ross has to be held account. So that the murder of Renee Good serves as a warning to those who would murder and not to those who might be murdered.

Yes, it’s really hard to capture the full scale of the federal assault on the Twin Cities. At any given point dozens of locations being harassed, across Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and the 185 suburbs. Hundreds of roaming cars, highway checkpoints, heavily armed convoys. We are under attack

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked WhatsApp messages show Labour MPs urging govt to leave X, arguing that it should "show direction to others in the UK" The MPs said X owner Elon Musk is "fascist" and that the platform's AI tool, Grok, had put "children in harm's way"

Zuckerberg hasn’t just consigned himself to silence. He has actively sought to forge ties with the Trump administration, including by meeting with Trump and Stephen Miller right after Trump won in 2024.

The methods used by Iran's women to push back against the country's authoritarian system have gone beyond cutting their hair and burning headscarves and in a more radical direction.

“Renee Good’s death means something. Her face and her story speaks directly to the average person. It talks of family and love and dreams and dedication to her kids, smashed down by the thundering fist of a government terror organisation for no reason.”

WTF?!? It appears a new trend is starting. On Thursday, January 8, 2026, federal immigration agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shot a married couple in Portland, Oregon during a vehicle stop.

Look at this shit! Is it just me or does it seem like the Trump administration is looking to provoke violence so that they can create the conditions for a harsh crackdown? Be careful, everyone. 📌 500 ICE agents are being moved to Minneapolis from other cities.

Those who claim they want to help, while cynically seeking to exploit the legitimate grievances of Iranian citizens for their own ends, only risk more bloodshed and suffering.

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”

Seems to me this was likely provided to Alpha News as exculpatory evidence, but it seems to be having the opposite effect.

They’re leaking the video because the end goal of all of this has been triggering riots, I genuinely believe

Last month, Russia passed a law allowing clear-cut logging in the forests around Lake Baikal. Environmentalists warn that the consequences for the lake and its unique flora and fauna could be irreversible. meduza.io/en/feature/2...

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “If you got nothing to hide from, then don't hide from it. Include local experts in the process. We've got nothing to hide from here. All we want in Minneapolis is justice and the truth."

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “This is not a time to hide from the facts…The fact that Pam Bondi's Department of Justice and this presidential administration has already come to a conclusion about those facts is deeply concerning.”

X is literally making child porn as a service so there really shouldn't be a question to whether or not MPs leave. Bellingcat has.

Can't even cover up their child porn creation properly - No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature www.theverge.com/news/859309/...

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Russia’s strike on Ukraine using a new Oreshnik ballistic missile was meant to send a message to Europe and the United States.  www.kyivpost.com/post/67751

I've been planning to write for a long time about how ICE and their allies sure are a bunch of whiny bitches, for all they talk about how tough they are. I'm sad that this is the occasion. But by god, these "tough" guys are pathetic cowards. www.salon.com/2026/01/09/i...

Kallas: Images from Tehran reveal a disproportionate and heavy-handed response by the security forces. Any violence against peaceful demonstrators is unacceptable. Shutting down the internet while violently suppressing protests exposes a regime afraid of its own people.

“In true Trumpian fashion, Noem, Vance, and other administration officials have gone as far as to refuse expressing any remorse or normal human empathy for the death of a mother who leaves behind a toddler.” Critcally important read by @justinglawe.bsky.social in @atrupar.com’s PN:

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it? @robertreich.substack.com.web.brid.gy

1/ Ci sono diversi video che mostrano come sono andati i fatti. Mostrano in maniera inequivocabile cosa è successo. Come quella giovane donna è stata intimorita, minacciata, assalita da agenti mascherati e uccisa senza alcun motivo a sangue freddo non con uno ma con tre colpi al viso e alla testa.

“You can’t kill us all, Nazis. You can’t kill us all.”

Who is this shitbag that murdered a woman exercising her constitutional rights?

🧵Sapevamo che la seconda vittoria di Trump sarebbe stata devastante. La sete di vendetta, l'odio per le leggi e lo stato di diritto, il disprezzo per tutto ciò che significa senso di giustizia, solidarietà, afflato umano avrebbe travolto non solo la democrazia americana. Ma tutti noi.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

"Meanwhile, witnesses said a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot, but the ICE agents refused to let the doctor in to help. Up to 15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived but was blocked by ICE vehicles that had occupied the street." www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

Mayor Frey responds after ICE shooting: "To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis."

If the headline is "disputed shooting" rather than straightforwardly telling the public what happened this rewards the DHS for lying about these events

Please spread the word and join us. Vigil scheduled for 5:00 today at E. 34th Street and Portland Ave S. in Minneapolis for woman murdered by ICE agents.

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

The video shows that the Trump regime is lying. The driver did NOT try to ram anyone. She was murdered for trying to drive away. Trump has made it clear after his Jan 6 pardons that his militia can openly kill Americans and he will pardon them so they believe they are above the law.

In the video in the post, you can see that the officer can clearly get out of the way of the vehicle, at first doesn't, pulls his firearm and continues to shoot as the driver has already driven past him. bsky.app/profile/bnon...
