No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

These elected Dems still don’t get it. @booker.senate.gov

Heads up Maine

The press practice of relying on the govt to set the narrative is routine enough in the US to normally escape notice, but in an insurrection it looks unmistakably absurd alongside citizen reporting. Running in clown shoes to the cops & the White House to uncritically report back whatever they say.

The fuck ** Trump told ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance last week that the US is "not going to look at what people lost in the past, because that was their fault." **

Not a bad idea

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

BREAKING: Donald Trump announces 25 percent tariff on anyone who posts this photo.

The Trump administration is excusing murder by ICE using the same lies as those told by Maduro’s regime. These lies are part of the logic of death squads. Govt controls the story & the next murder is easier. And suddenly this is normal and people simply disappear. snyder.substack.com/p/maduro-in-...

Now more than ever

House Democrats’ legislation to extend the ACA tax credits is awaiting action in the Senate. We urge our Senate Republican colleagues to take up this bill immediately to help bring health care costs down for millions of Americans.

BREAKING: supreme court declares only businesses are people

Yo west coast we’ve got solid surf again - get ready to call in sick for Monday

Wow, talk about unprecedented. The Fed Chairman makes official statement that the President is using criminal charges to threaten him over monetary policy.

PSA: Examples of a judicial warrant and an administrative warrant. ICE cannot enter your home with only an administrative warrant.

Forty fucking Niners!

BREAKING: ICE agents pepper-spray peaceful demonstrators and journalists and deploy chemical irritants in Minneapolis. Our partners @statuscoupnews.bsky.social captured the moment live on the ground as it happened.

WARNING to ST. Paul: ICE is going door to door with weapons drawn.

Noooooooo

The citizens of Iran are in fear for their lives but they are still out protesting against their illegitimate government. There’s a lesson in there for people everywhere who want to be free.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Fuck CapGemini, I’ve worked with them in other market segments and they seemed ok before they went full Nazi

I went through a similar arc discovering the Dead. RIP Bobby, thanks for the memories and the enlightenment!

Murders her, then says "fucking bitch".

they've got Raffi calling for regime change. something has shifted.

SHOCK CELL PHONE VIDEO: Renee Good's final words to her murderer: “That’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you.” ICE agent Jonathan Ross after shooting and killing her seconds later: “Fuckin’ bitch.” Via Alpha News

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

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

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.

Yeesh I hate being repetitive, and yet... It's time once again to remind my fellow Americans that there is no mechanism whereby state run elections can be suspended or canceled by the federal government. None. So don't go along with any garbage you hear to that effect. Laugh, and get ready to vote.

Everyone in the senate or congress that served in the military should record their own video warning not to obey illegal orders.

This January 6th, commit to resisting fascism in daily life. Start by reviewing your monthly streaming spend to see how much goes to right-wing-supporting media and tech companies. Limit or stop using the ones that don't fit your values. whofundstheright.org/streaming/

Hope this cheers up your timeline

Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back from the business

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

Before Trump invaded Venezuela, I wrote a long post on things we (me!) should do in 2026. Partly, it's about using the foundation laid by the Epstein files to focus on OTHER corrupt oligarchs Trump is protecting. It's also about making some things more visible. www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/02/w...

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Made a new playlist

I can’t believe we live in a society where the children of the victims of political violence have to beg the President of the United States to stop making a mockery of their parents’ deaths on the internet.

The big story has been the collapse of legacy media and big law as a bulwark against authoritarianism. I started a law firm in 2021 to fight for free and fair elections. I founded Democracy Docket in 2020 to be a voice for the pro-democracy movement. Subscribe now to support. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0
