Krugman's got a banger today: paulkrugman.substack.com/p/courageous...

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I'm sure these depraved bastards see this as a feature, not a bug: www.wired.com/story/survei...

After illegally abducting Maduro, Trump has just sold $250M of Venezuela's oil to Vitol. John Addison, a senior trader at Vitol who helped broker the deal, gave $6M to Trump's 2024 campaign. Pay-to-play imperialism.

A good one from Digby: digbysblog.net/2026/01/21/k...

Flowers at Henderson Canyon Rd Wildflower Area are still looking great (see from this morning below). However, many from the fall crop of desert sunflowers have peaked. Recent rains are producing a more recent crop of desert sunflowers in this same area. (Photos: Sicco Rood).

I hope this has already made it around to all who need to hear it. ICE is going undercover to try to gain access to observer networks, especially school patrol. Do not give info to anyone approaching you on street wanting to get "involved." They might even try to convince you they're school admin

PSA for my fellow Americans. Your ancestors funded the creation of this sabotage manual: www.cia.gov/static/5c875...

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

Looks as if DC is going to get some Greenland delivered to its doorstep this weekend. Americans love take out:

He's ruining the low expectations and learned helplessness that Democratic leadership has carefully cultivated in their voting base, dispelling the lie that moral timidity must be the only way we can do things. After all, if it was this easy to just come out and say it, surely they'd have done so?

I feel like people forget that ICE is only 23 years old. They act like it’s been around forever, but there are Gen Z who are older than ICE. We did just fine before ICE, we’ll survive without it.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Murder.

Murdering activists who are trying to help the oppressed has a long history in America. Sometimes justice is served. Not often. geneweingarten.substack.com/p/this-has-h...

Well I’m not a senator, so my powers of calling it into question are pretty much limited to writing and protest. But you could make an issue of it on the US Senate floor every legislative day.

Truth. I've seen the mainstream media go from, "It just makes sense to focus on the opposition" to "It just makes sense to focus on those in power" and back again, depending on whether it's Dems in power or Repubs in power.

Very much worth a read. Few people who voted for Trump were duped or focused on 'economic anxiety'. More likely it was all 'status anxiety', and their proposed cure is a race war: www.thebulwark.com/p/the-nazi-s...

I played with my paints for the first time since last summer. It felt heavy but also healing. It's hard to create art knowing I won't be able to share it with my mom. Acrylic on paper monoprint. #printmaking #art #healing

@abc7.bsky.social @nbcnews.com @cbsnews.com NATIONAL NEWS!!! SHOW IT

I'm making a series of infographics at the moment for some school groups, and, honestly, I'm really enjoying it!!! They're learning about paleontology, and I was asked if I could provide some images of extinct plants and animals! Here are the first few: #paleoart #scicomm #education #paleontology

And I’m gonna "like" this post every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 #Justice4theVictims_NOW

America is in a war of White men against everyone who thinks White men are no better than anyone else.

The scale of how many ICE agents there are in Minnesota right now is something that seems to be getting lost in the discourse. It’s why they seem to be everywhere.

So great to hear a public figure with actual power talk about how life should not be a struggle for survival but the enjoyment and enrichment of a civilization so many generations have labored so long to build. We cannot allow barbarism to win. The human adventure is everyone's birthright.

“ICE OUT for GOOD” Weekend Protest Sat & Sun Info here! Locations & activities 👇 RT to spread the word. share.google/LOMqkPPJ7to2...

h/t to Moe over at eschatonblog comments for linking this. Like the Orange One, Elmo is a menace to civilization on many fronts: www.propublica.org/article/spac...

I give the Dems grief over inaction and apathy, so credit where it's due: nice job in the House. Let's make this the rule, not the exception. I want to think about my government as often as I think about my plumbing, because mostly it just works. apnews.com/article/hous...

Evidently the killer's name is Jonathan Ross: www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

Despite the trial being free, I also demand a refund.

Smash your phone.

“There are two parties in this country, and on this, they both agree: More police. More guns. On this, there is no other choice.” www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/the-conseq...

Make it viral.

I think it's pretty clear that they want to provoke confrontation, and they want ICE agents to feel tense, frightened, and threatened—antagonistic to the public, grateful and loyal to the administration that "protects" them. They want excuses for violence, and a militia eager to deploy it.

So, this happened today. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

I think we need to start putting quotes around the word Federal until such time as we have an administration that honors the rule of law again. “Federal” agents explains a lot more about this incident. We should probably use quotes on other words too, e.g., “Administration” “Security” “President”.

Say her name: Renee Good. ICE out of Minneapolis and Minnesota now.

Watch this. Share it. No notes needed.

Guys this is deranged. The Consultant Democrats are hopeless, utterly incapable of meeting the moment

Today, ICE murdered a woman in Minneapolis. Tonight, we’ll be mourning her and the other lives that have been taken and traumatized by ICE. I hope to see you there.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying. They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

Her name is Renee Nicole Good, and she was executed in broad daylight by the domestic terrorist organization known as ICE.

These people could have inherited Biden's booming economy, talked about how they needed to change everything to rescue America, done nothing but maintenance, and the sycophantic media would have hailed them as economic geniuses. Instead: www.apricitas.io/p/america-is...
