It would appear that uncritically funding the people that hate us so much that they mint coins commemorating body counts instead of listening to the people who said that the institutional rot within the police is so deeply engrained that they represent a danger to us all has mysteriously backfired.

Watching videos of these shootings, I'm struck by how they mirror the kind of gunfire that's common in cop shows--with officers firing recklessly at suspects' cars. Which I think speaks to both ICE's lack of training and the way cop-aganda media can erode our ability to see each others' humanity.

The surprise invasion of Venezuela isn't imperial expansion driven by the dictates of capitalism; it is somehow even sicker. The Trump administration is behaving like gambling addicts chasing clout in an attention economy. Venezuela is a fucking meme stock. www.theverge.com/policy/85807...

Once I had a big fight with a young reporter who insisted the details of a shooting differed from my reporting which was based on videos of the incident. I illustrated how his reporting could not be true & he yelled back I’M A REAL REPORTER WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT SOURCES anyway that was wes lowery

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Multnomah County stands with the people of Minnesota. We stand with our immigrant and refugee communities.

if any crave redress of injustice, they should exhibit their petitions in the street

The video also shows that the car accelerated only after the driver was fatally shot, which has been used before to misleadingly suggest a driver murdered by the police was trying to carry out a ramming attack, as in this case: forensic-architecture.org/investigatio...

I don’t find it productive to shame people for ‘showing up late’ wrt to social awareness. We all show up when we show up. But I strongly encourage new people who show up to do so while assuming a listening posture. I promise, we’ve heard your ideas & opinions before, back when we were less informed.

Good v. United States of America

@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.”

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

Every couple of hours I get the interminable urge to yell and scream in the middle of the street, rending my garments, demanding to know how we can passively tolerate any of [gesturing broadly] this—up to and including today’s modern Boston massacre. One day—maybe. Today, though, I rest at “FTP.”

a few thoughts youtu.be/lERS4kJIQR8

A year ago today was the start of violent, terrorizing raids in California’s rural Central Valley. Violent federal agents were hunting down farm workers like animals. Today, they’re in the streets of Minneapolis. Our communities should not be enduring this. None of us are safe until all of us are.

Tim Walz asks Portlanders to "stand with us" after Minneapolis ICE shooting. www.youtube.com/shorts/SpbBs...

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

This will sound like a joke, but it's not. When TWO "Minnesota Nice" politicians drop the F-bomb in front of live cameras, we're at Defcon 1.

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

"The estimated price tag more than doubled from $6 billion to $13.6 billion, but staff told a bistate panel Dec. 15 it didn’t have new numbers."

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Minneapolis.

Slowly working through the new OIR Group report and came across this case. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: PPB Officer Colby Marrs claimed a vehicle was driving straight at him so he had to shoot 8 times. And yet, let’s look at where his bullets hit the vehicle…

The director of Portland’s police oversight agency is resigning amid a department overhaul.

I was sent the full, 4:30 video, so I am posting it here in two parts. Part 1:

Any one of us could be shot or kidnapped because an ICE agent doesn’t like the look of us. Are you prepared to be murdered in cold blood while “news” sources repeat the claim you were “weaponizing your vehicle” trying to leave your driveway? They want you to accept that. They want to make it normal

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

There's a second video that is even worse, it shows the DHS trying to open her car door as she drives away. They absolutely were the perpetrators and never feared for their lives.

The murder this morning reminds me of this @forensicarchi.bsky.social investigation. There, Israeli police lied, saying a Bedouin villager drove into officers, when in fact the officer shot the villager unprovoked, leading the car to roll out of control. forensic-architecture.org/investigatio...

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

This is a time for COMMUNITY care.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

DHS tweeted this yesterday. Little more than 24 hours later, ICE agents just shot and killed a legal observer in Minneapolis.

"You gonna murder someone else? You can't kill us all, Nazis."

I might just continue to have Leonard Cohen’s “Winter Lady” on repeat until the temperature stays over 55 degrees, and I’m okay with that.

Mayor Wilson sent an email to city councilors Tuesday saying the city will begin enforcing 120-day stay limits at its alternative shelter sites. The rules are intended to incentivize people into using the emergency shelter system to obtain housing, despite the lack of available affordable housing.

OIR Report is out, for those of you who pay attention to such things: www.portland.gov/ipr/news/202... There will be a public hearing on this on Wednesday, January 28.

How you can tell I watched Hunt for Red October over break: “One conservative grifter gets his feelings hurt and it’s all torpedoes being fired… It highlights where the Department of Justice’s priorities are now.”

Due to a lack of federal and state dollars, TriMet is cutting multiple key bus lines I take. I can’t drive. I don’t have a car. Not sure what people are supposed to do other than rage against the state legislators who let this happen 🤷🏻‍♀️ Feel free to name and shame in the replies!

Can the U.S. government get a warrant to search for evidence that people violated "a statute that does not appear to exist"? Seems it did.

all this is both foolish and unnecessary
