Ah, I see, it is “contrary to the interests of the United States to remain a member of, participate in, or otherwise provide support” *checks notes* Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Violence Against Children

May she rest in peace and may her murderers and their paymasters never know another moment of it.

“Can we check her pulse?” “No! Back up! Now!” “I’m a physician.” “I don’t care.”

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Why should Petro trust him?

A reminder: You can't spell police without lie. Cops lie. ICE agents lie. They do it to the press and to judges.

This is such a shockingly sterile statement.

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

@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.”

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.

for fucking decades i've had to listen to right wingers jerk off to their fantasies of masked federal agents turning their guns on innocent Americans and then the moment it actually happens they're sniveling boot-licking scum

Come the fuck on. Five hours later and the headline is still about a disputed shooting. Just a basic lack of courage to acknowledge the obvious.

Raju: The Speaker and others have said that this driver was weaponizing her vehicle. AOC: Their editorializing of this event to justify a public murder is disgusting. It is horrifying. Watch it for yourself and make that assessment for yourself on which of these leaders are lying to you.

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.

Thinking today about how Angie Craig would be such a terrible replacement for Tina Smith in the Senate. Angie Craig voted to embolden ICE terrorism by voting for the Laken Riley Act. I hope Peggy Flanagan wins. Minnesota can elect progressive champions and should.

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

It was not "domestic terrorism.” It was state sanctioned violence. A family will forever live with the pain caused by the admin's reckless and deadly actions. Abolishing ICE is not enough. They must be held accountable.

A stunning statistic about social media marketing to children

Minnesota Public Radio says today marks the first and only shooting and homicide in Minneapolis in the year 2026

Oh no, her son has lost both parents now www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

State prosecutions are good and need to happen, but worth flagging there are lots of other things states can do. One of them would be cutting off all state assistance of any kind to federal law enforcement. Not just the limited sanctuary laws. Full cold stop, nothing. Also no data sharing, e.g. DMV.

The right witnessed white people of all ages march shoulder to shoulder with Black people, literally ask for books to educate themselves about a history generations of white people sought to sweep under the rug. It scared the hell out of them. They've undertaken a campaign of erasure ever since.

This is a good use of a pie chart and also horrifying

ICE orphaned a toddler.

Murder, evocative of what we see from the US military abroad and the IDF in Gaza

The NYT live blog does go into some better detail if you keep reading, but headlines and top-line stuff matters WAY more, and, well, shit.

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was murdered four fifths of a mile from where George Perry Floyd, Jr., 46, was murdered in May of 2020.

the President lied about this woman and her wife in front of the entire nation. he defamed the legacy of a murder victim. this is a moral humiliation of the entire nation that cries out for justice. as a country we must cast these evildoers into prison.

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

It is really hard to teach anything when there's no ground for any kind of shared empirical reality.

What is the point of posting this with no actual content? No indication about what the “heartbreaking news” is.

Hours ago:

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

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.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video. The Trump administration is lying.

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

Arrest the murderer and arrest Bovino. Not complicated.

Video makes clear almost every word of this is a lie.

Minnesota law enforcement have video from multiple angles of an unjustified deadly shooting in Minneapolis. Therefore, they should arrest and prosecute the shooter for murder. The fact that the killer is a federal agent should not alter that basic logic. If anything, charging is even more important.

the nyt says that no version of events in minneapolis can be "verified independently." but that's not true! there are multiple videos proving that the ICE version of events is a total lie. maybe the nyt can, y'know, watch one of them? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

The person shot in Minneapolis was driving a Honda SUV covered in bumper stickers. She wasn't a fucking domestic terrorist. She was a resident concerned about her neighbors being kidnapped.

ICE agents are violent and make communities less safe. www.cnbc.com/2026/01/07/i...

Democrats, if they were in Germany in 1930s: Hitler is too focused on annexing the Sudetenland when he should be focused on the price of eggs.
