Jonathan Ross is a murderer and his victim was not a domestic terrorist, no matter what the president says. She was a young mother of 3, endangering no one, injuring no one. I refuse to live through Orwellian times.

/9 Anyway, a substantial project of the Right is to make it dangerous, expensive, and ideally illegal to speak the truth about them. Don’t give up an inch of ground.

/6 Specific language and context weigh in the decision of fact vs. opinion. “Murder” is often used colloquially, more so on social media. People on social media would understand the statement “Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good” to mean “I saw the tape and I think that is a wrongful killing.”

/5 Is it impossible for these to be facts and not opinions? Yes. If the circumstances suggest you are relying on undisclosed facts - like “I broke into Randy Fine’s Miss O & Friends account and read his messages and that guy is racist,” which implies undisclosed racist texts in the account.

/4 Similarly, “Randy Fine is a racist” or “Zohran Mamdani is antisemitic” won’t be defamatory, because those are opinions based on those public figures’ statements and policies.

/3 Hence, neither “Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Good” nor “Ashli Babbitt was murdered” is defamatory, because those are based on your interpretation of disclosed facts — like videotaped events. You’re giving your interpretation — your OPINION — of the disclosed fact.

/2 Defamation requires a false statement of provable fact. Things that are not provable fact include hyperbole, rhetoric, insult, and things the audience understands are expressions of opinion rather than expressions of verifiable fact. Your interpretation of what you see on a video is an opinion.

Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good. In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric. It’s not. /1

shut your lying ass up you wet bitch

Hundreds of people have packed into Chicago's Thalia Hall tonight for a community listening session on CPD collaboration with ICE/CBP. Police district councillors who gathered petition signatures required to hold tonight's hearing are opening by thanking the community for showing out.

It’s important for ICE officers to wear masks to stop people like … [checks note] … the DHS secretary from doxxing them.

Seems as if the next administration will have to seize an incredible amount of stolen wealth from Trump’s children. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/w...

So after threatening to kill a medical professional for attempting to save this innocent woman's life, they removed her body from a crime scene, grabbed her by the limbs, and took her body away, out of view of the camera, to try and cover this all up as best they could.

After Jonathan Ross murdered Good yesterday, he went up to make sure she was dead. Then walked back to his SUV and drove away. Seven minutes later, a few more ICE Nazis carried her dead body away like a sack of potatoes and covered up whatever evidence there may have been.

I reached out to more than three dozen X advertisers, xAI investors, politicians, and government agencies about the growing library of sexualized deepfakes generated with Grok—now including Renee Good. I only heard back from four, with three declining to comment. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-deepf...

How the Right-Wing Outrage Machine Prompted the Conflagration in Minnesota talkingpointsmemo.com/news/how-the...

🎉 WOOT! House passes *clean* 3-yr enhanced #ACA tax credit bill w/17 GOP joining every Dem! (updating...) acasignups.net/26/01/08/bre...

Haven’t seen video yet. But it’s like every time. They weaponized their vehicle. We had to shoot them. Again and again long before Minneapolis. katu.com/news/local/i...

The message is pretty simple. U.S. cities are a war zone, and any false move can mean your death. "Top Trump officials are saying emphatically that this is exactly how it should be and I don't think that will stand," @joshtpm.bsky.social writes. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-tur...

Naming a police officer is not doxxing. We aren’t supposed to have secret police in America.

Fuck off, civility scolds. Fuck off fucking forever.

Ald Sigcho Lopez invited to speak ahead of public comment. He once again repeats a call for Bovino's arrest

Ald Vasquez: "We have not received answers. Trying to wait for answers from CPD about misconduct from CPD is a false premise...we need a welcoming city not only in language and spirit, but in action...we all know public comment isn't enough."

Now: Press conference ahead of a community meeting happening in Pilsen, Chicago about ICE and CPD.

Super intense moment as speaker calls out the commission for lecturing the crowd on respectability. "You should be fucking ashamed of yourselves."

Speaker details being pulled over by CPD while doing ICE watch.

"If Prizker, Johnson, etc don't have the courage to step up then get the fuck out of our way"

This energy is AMAZING.

🧵 Here's a thing you can do, RIGHT NOW, to combat Musk's nonconsensual-porn-and-desecration-of-the-dead machine: bsky.app/profile/greg... I called my state's AG yesterday and then sent an email; that email + the template I used to guide me, next.

NEW: Four days before oral arguments, Justice Sam "stock trader" Alito decides he "will not continue to participate" in a case involving oil companies. This means that he did participate in certiorari stage proceedings, despite owning relevant stocks.

Garcia: Every American should be outraged by what happened in Minneapolis. The fact that there’s going to be no accountability—or that the DOJ wants to investigate it themselves—is insane. They can’t be trusted to investigate anything.

It is the position of the Trump Administration that its agents can come into any state and city in America (let alone other countries) and kill people and that state and city have no jurisdiction to inquire about it. Treat any Trump official accordingly.

Here's the full moment of silence including a fan yelling "Go home, ICE"

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani says a plan unveiled Thursday to take the first steps toward universal childcare for kids under five shows New Yorkers that "democracy can actually deliver for them." n.pr/3YxZjlj

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

Good news: the Senate took the first step towards passing a war powers resolution to restrict Trump’s illegal actions in Venezuela. Speaker Johnson must bring this to the House for a vote immediately so Congress can reclaim our constitutional authority. www.ms.now/news/senate-...

In a democracy, law enforcement derives its authority not from weapons or uniforms, but from adherence to the law, internal discipline, and the confidence of the public it serves. When accountability disappears, legitimacy collapses. open.substack.com/pub/alexande...

About 100+ folks have gathered to mourn Renee Nicole Good outside an unmarked ICE facility north of Austin in Pflugerville that agents have been using as a temporary holding facility. #AustintoMinneapolis #AbolishICE

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

I write abt this in my book: a Nazi unmasked by antifa returned home from Charlottesville and bought the same make and model car that James Fields used to murder Heather Heyer as a tribute to Fields. Turned out the Nazi had been an aide to a GOP senator bsky.app/profile/aann...

Notable w/ DHS falsely claiming people are “weaponizing” vehicles is that since George Floyd uprisings GOP lawmakers have pushed laws legalizing plowing over protesters w/ cars Also MAGA/alt-right memes were rife w/ fantasies abt doing just that, portending neo-Nazi car attack in Charlottesville

Yale Law School never beating the “they don’t teach law at Yale” allegations

Look up X on the App Store, scroll down to Report a Problem and fill out the form with this information.

this certainly contradicts the statement put out by the feds, as in it is completely and utterly different

This story says it was CPB

“It should be crystal clear to everyone that the real threat to community safety is the ICE agents harassing, targeting, detaining — and in some tragic cases — killing our neighbors. This violence is unacceptable, it is criminal, and it is against the constitution of the United States.”

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 2.7k). A majority of Americans say ICE tactics are "too forceful." Only 27 percent say they are appropriate as-is. ICE approval: -13 Approval of recent protests against ICE: +2 today.yougov.com/topics/overv...

Feeling their oats, I guess.

It’s less on the nose re toxic masculinity, but this is also how I feel (as an educator) when ppl compare trump (etc) to a kindergartener or a toddler. Kindergarteners are awesome! Deeply curious, profoundly empathetic, concerned about fairness and honesty… same goes for toddlers.
