Footage shows US citizen shot by ICE agent in Texas traffic stops

"Maybe changing the world is more like caregiving than it is like war." - @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

A trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records, which ProPublica made public this week, reveals a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate.

"At a time when civilization is hurtling toward irreversible climate breakdown, to overlook the climate consequences of three of the deadliest militaries on earth going to war would be journalistic malpractice." newrepublic.com/article/2073...

LOFGREN: Are agents trained to break the windows of people whose cars they encounter and drag them out forcefully without asking questions? KRISTI NOEM: Our officers are all trained for situation where they are interacting with the public and detaining someone

Lying seems to be the main strategy of this administration.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Interesting spin. By this logic, shouldn’t we be seeing tons of young Christian men volunteering to go to Iran? I mean, if it’s God’s plan and all, aren’t you eager to meet him, dudebros?

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

After Khamenei, What Now? Iranians want democracy. Trump wants a brief conflict. Neither seems likely by Hanna Rosin Atlantic Gift Article Before strike killed Khamenei nuclear deal was ultimate objective, now maybe regime change but Trump has no plan on how that might come about bit.ly/4aLUyeQ

It is even a bigger indictment of the GOP that the sex offender in the White House continues to hide evidence. #ImpeachTrump

Minnesota's two US Senators are pressing Justice Dept to reverse decision and allow local investigators to have access to materials in the killing of Alex Pretti by a federal agents last month ===>

From floods to wildfires, communities are feeling the impacts of climate change, but the Trump administration just took its most extreme step ever to dismantle federal climate protections—ignoring science and unnatural disasters.

Ignoring climate science is stupid. It will only hurt the quality of life . The Trump & White House propaganda doesn't serve our country. www.startribune.com/trumps-epa-r...

Her work crosses genres and audiences and centers Hmong children and families who live in our world, who dream, hurt, and hope in it. Yang’s writing and speaking are concerned with the plight of refugees from around our world, ideas of belonging, and the depths of the human experience.

"There is no credible, independent, scientific consensus stating that the risk of acid mine drainage ... would be “zero.” ... sulfide-ore copper mining in this particular watershed poses a high risk of irreversible harm." edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dyn...

If ICE stopped killing people, it would "lower the temperature." apnews.com/article/vanc... Vance's message in Minneapolis: Local officials must cooperate with the immigration crackdown

House of Representatives made an incredibly bad decision. Mining in northern Minnesota, the location of three major watersheds (Mississippi, Great Lakes, Hudson Bay) can contaminate EVERYBODY's fresh water.

Witnesses said two teenagers and possibly a third woman were taken away by federal agents.

There are no words....

The administration refused to investigate the murder. Johnson has no basis to make a judgment. Witnesses videos attest to Good's innocence.

Brutality by ICE. Get ICE out for Good.

I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.

They refused to probe a murder. The people with consciences walked out. 🚨 NEW: At least four leaders of the DOJ Civil Rights Division resigned because the section's head, Harmeet Dhillon, decided not to investigate shooting of Renee Good.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

The reports coming out of Minnesota of the brutality of ICE terror are harrowing. What's clear to me, however, is that the people are rising up to resist this violence head on. Resistance is everywhere. We may be on our own, but we are not alone. "Every time a whistle blows, they don’t win."

As part of the lawsuit filed by Minnesota Monday against DHS, the 80-page document argues the federal government has violated the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. MPR News hosts Clay Masters and Nina Moini spoke with a law professor at Mitchell Hamline to break it all down.

ICE taunts and uses pepper spray at Roosevelt High School later on the same the day that ICE agent Ross killed Renee Nicole Good. www.startribune.com/what-happene...

"There’s a reason DHS and its counterparts keep getting humiliated in court when they pretend to be victims," @adamrose.bsky.social told @san.com. "They’re losing in front of juries, judges are calling them not credible."

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. People are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.

Protests have taken place nationwide following the shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday, January 7. Tens of thousands took to the street in Minneapolis on Saturday, while other rallies and protests were held in multiple other cities.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have tried to silence me for speaking out. Today, I’m fighting back because this isn’t just about me. This is about the rights of all retired veterans and all Americans, and I’m not going to let this Administration take those away.

The judge ordered the restoration of nearly $12 million in funding to the American Academy of Pediatrics, including money for rural health care and the identification of disabilities in children.

It already exists in the House. It’s called the No Secret Police Act. It was written by Rep. Dan Goldman who has also been working on legislation to strip ICE agents of qualified immunity. 0 Republicans are cosponsoring it. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... thehill.com/homenews/hou...
