I wrote both of those before the ICE murder of Renee Good and the administration's full press campaign to convince us once again that we didn't see what we saw, their insistence again that the victim was the villain and the villain was the victim.

Wrote a pair of CAMPAIGN TRAILS posts this week about authoritarians trying to rewrite the past. First off, this piece on the Trump White House's ridiculous effort to spin the events of January 6th around.

The WH's January 6 virtual exhibit is just the latest example of the administration moving beyond distorting history to support its ideological ends and into just inventing history as it sees fit. The presidential walk of fame, the AI-animated "Founders Museum" previewed where this was headed.

It's notable how effectively the killing of the CEO of Blackstone's real estate arm ($100bn in assets) was buried. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_Mi...

European Union preparing sanctions on US companies if President Trump rejects EU proposal to deploy European military force to Greenland as an alternative to US control.-Telegraph

Look, you may think the Mail is probably exaggerating but the news side of Telegraph is legit: if Euros are considering this, there's smoke

I do not think anybody is prepared for how quickly and how thoroughly things we've taken for granted our whole lives could change

Well this article isn’t going to help me sleep any better. But it’s also not going to stop me from protesting ICE and defenestrating RFK Jr.’s policies.

I’m so tired

Things I look forward to watching with a beer in my hand within the next 5ish years: - When IT finally happens - The first trial of ICE officers - The trials of every member of this corrupt cabinet

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.

“I have asked the clergy of the diocese to make sure their affairs are in order and they have written their wills.,not the time for statements. It is time to put our bodies between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable”. Rob Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,

The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!" The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."

From the article: “We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters. HOW ABOUT FUCKING NOW??

I think now is the appropriate time to remove Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer. This is not the time for timidity. These men are unable to do the job that is required at this time.

these guys are nazi collaborators literal nazi collaborators this is them, collaborating with nazis to protect the gestapo

i am so tired.

The UK, Canada and Australia are considering banning X. And yet, the progressive movement and Democratic Party still haven’t figured out how to boycott it.

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

www.nbcnews.com/think/amp/nc... This is evergreen!

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....

Black folk will tell you: The 1st thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.🤷🏿‍♂️ They lie because there's upside in it for them, and no downside. No matter how many times they get caught lying, newspapers will print their next lie as the gospel truth.🤡 And people stop caring before truth hits

Evergreen: The first thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.

Imagine if newspapers instead wrote something like, "According to police, the suspect tried to hit the officers with his car. In 35 out of 37 statements issued by this department over the past 5 years, police gave false initial statements, later contradicted by their own bodycam footage."

Her interpretation seems to be that “funds used to prevent” refers literally only to spending on actions taken directly to stop members of Congress from visiting a facility, rather than to spending on the predicate necessary infrastructure, equipment, and personnel salaries

NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

After the 2020 election, Larry Ellison joined a call to strategize on overturning the vote for Trump and donated to election deniers. Now he controls CBS and wants CNN’s parent, raising new questions this week as his influence grows. My latest in @status.news www.status.news/p/larry-elli...

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

This has annoyed me for a while now.

WSJ: “WSJ visual investigation found the Minneapolis ICE killing is one of 13 incidents where federal immigration agents have used deadly force against civilians in vehicles since July.” www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Go Bears. Fuck the Packers. Abolish ICE.

The crackdowns are intensifying. The Maduro regime remains in power, with Delcy Rodríguez in command. This was never about democracy or protecting the people of Venezuela. They continue to live in danger and fear while Trump cuts deals with the regime to seize their oil.

A white mother and U.S. citizen being shot and killed is not what they were sold, and it is a breaking point for many. That does not, in any way, mean the other actions are not also important and indefensible, but it is a line *for those in the movement* that they thought would not be crossed.

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.
