WATCH: “What we got today was a cellphone recording captured by the man who killed her. The first look we have gotten of Renee Good alive—and then dead,” says Chris Hayes.

A respite from all the atrocious news. Mayor Mamdani and Ms. Rachel visit a Pre-K centre.

I know this is not the point, but why is ‘liberal’ and ‘world’ capitalised? Why do they all do this?

You can’t "lone wolf" your way to 93%.

I & others have raised this w/ the Law and Society Association. So far, 🦗. Their 2026 "international" conference will take place in San Francisco, no virtual options, no concern for members who cannot travel. This from a sociolegal academic assoc'n whose members study policing, prisons, inequality?

We could have had nice things

Minneapolis public schools canceled classes officials after Roosevelt High School said armed Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

“You need cowards to do this: people who will sell out their colleagues and their principles to promote their own safety or advancement, even as they claim they are doing it because they have no choice.“ www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Does the Overton window even exist anymore?

The New York Times states it plainly in display type: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...” A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today. lithub.com/renee-nicole...

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

“.. they carried her body out, just like by her limbs, they didn’t even have a stretcher," Heller said. "She was carried out like a sack of potatoes." “This was horrific and will change my life forever,” she said. “I feel so scared." @nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Minneapolis.

The world has a bit of a pathetic white man problem. This is so disgusting. These overly coiffed buffoons chuckling amongst themselves about a community of immigrants from a country that the US has intervened in several times. And that just puts a giant target on all Somali-Americans.

A country that blows up foreign fishing boats for no reason is one that will shoot its own citizens for no reason.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

WOMEN are doing the vast majority of the front-line organizing against ICE, the vast majority of the front-line reporting, the vast majority of the legal observing, the vast majority of the care work, the vast majority of the corking and safety volunteering. It's so often women who are being killed.

love to be a libertarian whose response to the summary execution of an american citizen is “you shouldn’t say bad words”

Important context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed: The last time immigration agents shot a woman (Marimar Martinez, Chicago) they made similar claims. Prosecutors have already dropped the charges www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Sitting in your car now makes you a 'domestic terrorist'--and Noem et al will have no difficulty saying that on national TV even when there is video footage showing the opposite.

This article is a wild and sobering journey I encourage you to take. "LLM psychotics do not hallucinate. But chatbots do. ...In this bright future, we will achieve synergy with the machines. We will divide our labor. One party will hallucinate. The other will act on the delusions."

A deeply reported data dive by @andrewvandam.bsky.social uncovers a disturbing trend: Malnutrition deaths are surging in America, driven by deaths among people who are 85 and older

How long until they panic over losing at trial and send him to Guantanamo

@nycbarassociation.bsky.social condemns the illegal use of force in Venezuela and calls on Congress to fulfill its constitutional duties.

"The military operation ... runs counter to the principle of non-use of force" "The proliferation of violations of the [UN] Charter ... by States vested with responsibility as permanent members of the Security Council chips away at the very foundation of the international order"

US attacks on Venezuela and the abduction of Nicolás Maduro raise profound legal and geopolitical concerns, with implications well beyond Venezuela itself. In a new post co-authored with Julian Arato, we examine the attack and its broader consequences under international law.

India’s Supreme Court has denied bail to prominent student activists Umar Khalid and Sharjeel Imam, who have been detained without trial for over five years. The Supreme Court’s decision undercuts its repeated emphasis on bail as a fundamental right.

“Trump had his own agenda, it was not the same agenda as the opposition leadership. So for many people this is going to mean a great deal of heart searching. They're going to have to acknowledge that Trump really is not working for them, he's working for himself.” www.crisisgroup.org/united-state...

In an increasingly lawless global order governed by great power politics, it is imperative to look beyond the NPT and envision an alternative system of global nonproliferation, Marialaura De Angelis writes.

webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1k... if you’re interested in this morning’s emergency security council meeting on Venezuela, it’ll start here at 10am. It was called by Colombia, and can help us get a sense of the public lines coming from a diverse group of countries

“Perhaps the most distressing aspect of this framing is not that it came into being but that it endures. There is no remote prospect that Congress will repeal the more significant 2001 AUMF, passed in the days after 9/11 and providing the ostensible justification for the larger War on Terror.”

This is not a surprising finding, but it’s helpful to see it quantified.

About 230 male and female medical students from Gaza’s various colleges of medicine held a graduation ceremony in front of the ruins of the Al‑Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City on Saturday. The event was organized by Gaza’s Ministry of Health. Video: Abdulruhman Ismail via X (@a_abdulruhman)

This is so insane.

TLDR: Immigration is keeping America healthy. 🤷🏿‍♀️

There's weather and then there's genocide. #GazaGenocide‌

Good article this. Racism really is the reverse of a performance-enhancing drug, the mad, stupid shit it leads people to believe in and to do:

Look everyone is going to have to be patient with reporters and pundits who were born after the cultural memory of the second gulf war faded. Don’t know what else to tell you

It’s sobering to look back on the run-up to the Iraq war—a period of unceasing chattering-class debate, elaborate official lies, media complicity, unavailing global protest, in the end a giant stitch-up—and have it seem like some sort of paradise of public deliberation compared to these gangsters.

Fascinating 1. Admin may not have informed Congress but has been talking regime change w US oil industry 2. Oil at $60, US firms not excited about major capex to get VZ heavy sour crude 3. Sounds like WH wants to prod oil firms to make their vision happen, more than WH doing US oil's bidding

NYT gonna NYT: "Both Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Maduro identify as socialists, though they have no relationship.” — would be funny if they did this every time you write about two capitalists. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

Ah… the precision the White House jokers were boasting about.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

The “West” clearly can’t be trusted with international law and values. What a servile snivelling statement from Carney.

Entering our Too Lazy to Manufacture Consent era
