Honestly glad he said this. They are celebrating the murder, they are saying the murder is good and they want to make sure other members of ICE know that "shoot first" is appropriate and acceptable behavior. Not an ounce of an apology. They are happy it happened. So now what?

NYT: “In the last 4 months, immigration officers fired on at least 9 people in 5 states + D.C., all while in their vehicles. In each case, officials claimed the agents fired in self-defense, fearing they’d be struck by the vehicle. At least 1 other died.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

If you don't talk to your cat about catnip, who will?

i think we might be underrating a bit how much of an uncanny-valley problem Vance in particular is going to have by 2028

School has been cancelled tomorrow and Friday across the city of Minneapolis, because our federal government has made it unsafe for children here.

The clear lesson Vance learned when he put the lives of immigrants—his own constituents—at risk during the campaign was that he can lie freely with impunity as long as he’s being casually racist. So now he simply does it all the time.

Trump moves to pull the US from bedrock climate treaty, UN IPCC and other int'l orgs & UN agencies. In doing so, the US becomes the only country to withdraw from this particular climate agreement dating back to 1992 (UNFCCC). www.cnn.com/2026/01/07/c...

Apropos of...everything a reminder that I have a list of accounts that regularly post relaxing and random stuff. It features NO NEWS. If you're trapped scrolling and need to shift your attention to something calmer it's a good way to do it. You can also pin it to your feeds bsky.app/profile/did:...

To be fair, Guac is always extra. It’s fine, I can show myself out.

I was just thinking about him, and how greater Minneapolis has lost too many of its sons and daughters to state violence. But also about how its people rise to meet the moment. That's why we know their names. It's all just so heartbreaking and infuriating.

This is insane. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

BREAKING: ICE killed a Minnesota woman in broad daylight & there must be accountability. But when I moved to subpoena all records & footage related to this murder, Republicans voted it down. They've never cared about law & order or keeping our communities safe.

Minneapolis.

"She said she felt as if the ICE agents were untrained, inexperienced and didn’t know what they were doing. Heller said the driver was being told to leave but also being instructed to stop at the same time, then the man "just fired" his gun."

The point of filing articles of IMPEACHMENT is not to remove Kristi Noem from office. It is to declare that her actions are not merely objectionable, they make her authority illegitimate. Democrats must start sending this message or we will become demoralized and disoriented.

this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them

That poor guy they shot in the hotel in Arizona really drove this home

It seems that the United States government is seceding from several states.

I'm saying this as much to myself as to any of you but the worst place to be when shit is really really bad is alone with your social media apps, even the least evil social media site hooks you and holds you via your worst feelings, perhaps especially when those feelings are entirely justified

Now we’re talking.

I am outside Roosevelt now, my daughter goes there. Talked to staff, ICE was in a car pursuit of someone and they crashed and went up on school property. Teachers formed a circle around the person to protect them. Ice releases tear gas and took two people

That’s the American Republicans are pitching. And voters did give them complete control of two branches of government. And they took the third for themselves so … yes? I think?

I'm already seeing people on here use AI face tools to try to identify the masked ICE agent in Minneapolis. It's a truly terrible idea and here's why

Good blog, by @albertburneko.bsky.social defector.com/ice-agent-ki...

It's entirely plausible that the ICE murderer is a pardoned J6er. The fact that it's even plausible is a problem.

It’s interesting how, if Mike Johnson wants to try to score politcal points, boy is he ever informed and on top of the news. But if he can’t score points, or if the news is bad for the guy he reports to, well then, sorry, but Mile Johnson just hasn’t seen it and he couldn’t possibly comment.

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

hey just an fyi as someone who served with people who carried guns for a living even though a long time ago but one thing about carrying firearms for work with a bunch of guys, if there was an actual threat more than one of them would have drawn a weapon it's not a he saw something they didn't deal

love how citizens have to police themselves at every turn in the tiniest possible ways but a guy can be captured from 5 different angles in media res murdering somebody and everyone has to scream and demand that he ever face consequences

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

If we can’t shutdown the government over what happened in Minnesota today …

This is a time for 1000s of mass meetings across the country to specifically address ICE & Border Patrol actions. 1. We need standardized agendas. 2. We need standardized teach ins - with local specificities. 3. We need mass meetings to happen in the same month. 4. Local officials must attend.

Absolute bullshit.

Shut the government back down.

I am not prepared for what the American right is poised to do with the fact that the victim was a mother in a lesbian relationship.

And they tipped their hand that they wanted this when they said they’d be sending thousands of Feds into Minneapolis after some weird right-wing, ginned-up thing about Minnesota daycares. Trump wants uniformed personnel shooting unarmed American protesters in the streets. He’s been clear about it.

Amazing. As they’re lying about this shooting they’re forced to admit they were lying about the previous shooting

“In another video, a person wearing the same outfit as the distraught woman can be seen leaning over a bloodied body in the driver’s seat of the SUV.”

Call me crazy, but if I’m lame duck @governorwalz.mn.gov at this point, I’m going to the mattresses to make sure this dude faces trial in a Minnesota courtroom. It’s not only the right thing to do, he has absolutely nothing to lose.

there are many resistance actions that are worth going to jail over posting on bluesky is not one of them!

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

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

When a cop murdered my big brother at a road block 21 years ago, their post-facto justification was that he tried to run over a cop. His foot released the brake after the officer shot him in the chest, and the car bumped an officer.

I just came from the Venezuela briefing; can confirm this insane plan to indefinitely take Venezuela's oil at gun point and use it as leverage to micromanage the country. We're back in the nation building business. And we're going to make oil guys rich. Also, it won't work.

there is a reason why you are HEARING about the things that happen in this area. this community has a ton of organizers. they are oriented towards action. they stand up for their neighbors. and because of all of that, and because they are also mostly BIPOC and poor, they are targeted by pigs.
