Minn AG Keith Ellison on Thursday bluntly told me about Trump regime: "This is a tyrannical government with a paramilitary group of a Gestapo-style people, abusing the rights of the people of this country...Trying to impose by force his will and dominance on the population" youtu.be/fkmIZua9-LM?...

Did I watch this whole thing twice? Yes, yes I did.

Alongside the terrible news, this was really a hell of a week for Zohran Mamdani, who has already advanced the core campaign promise of free, universal child care, among other forms of progress for New Yorkers. I wrote that up for today's On Tap: prospect.org/2026/01/09/m...

Fox News claims to be airing the "entire video" -- but they're cutting off before the officer says, "fucking bitch."

Guess which part Fox isn't airing. bsky.app/profile/matt...

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers. Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Thanks for calling this out! Hopefully Senators don't do the same. Many of these votes are due to being misled by a l dear colleague letter from Rep. Auchincloss that falsely claims the bill would improve affordability and not diminish the importance of energy efficiency: grist.org/energy/mobil...

Stephen A Smith’s problem is that he believes power is morality Which allows him to take immoral positions and call it analysis

When calls to #AbolishICE began in 2018 the potential for extreme, extrajudicial abuse was clear and present. Under Trump and Noem it is the strategy—on steroids. America is a becoming full-fledged police state and ICE is the gateway. Dismantle ICE now. www.christiancentury.org/voices/aboli...

Great thread.

Hi @forwardblue.bsky.social No Kings 3 planning is ongoing. You are hurting our coalition-building by sending texts like this-it confuses partners who see them & think we've made decisions without consulting them. Please reach out to discuss what to do with the money you've raised for No Kings.

Name, shame, and boycott the scammers. They're effectively supporting this fascist regime with their self-enriching bullshit.

Donald Trump literally said that he “put out eight wars” and that if you put out eight wars you should win a nobel peace prize for each war. it is maddening that this man is being treated like anything other than a malevolent toddler. What the shit.

Ah. So if you don’t count all the jobs lost, the jobs numbers look pretty good.

This is a powerful, loving, heartbreaking statement from the wife of Renee Macklin Good, who was murdered by our government. It amazingly seeks to rise above the hate to honor Renee and calls us to our best selves. Read and share. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

JD Vance Claims Renée Good Had No Authority To Be Alive In First Place

ALERT: Jack Smith will testify PUBLICLY before the House Judiciary Committee as early as this month Smith has been pressing to do so... in a public setting

Q: Is this ICE officer immune to charges? HENNEPIN COUNTY ATTORNEY MORIARTY: I can't speak to why the Trump administration says what it says. I can say the ICE officer does not have complete immunity here.

The 'get their vehicle out of the snow' is such a blatant lie- I can't even. Just look at the videos. We midwesterners know there's barely any snow at all & the streets are plowed! Then look at the giant DHS SUVs. Yeah, sure one of those 4-wheel drive monsters was stuck in the snow. Good grief.

Lindsay Hecox is out of sports & almost out of school Yet the Supreme Court will soon hear oral argument in Idaho's bid to keep her out of women's student athletics Little v. Hecox isn't about her or sports, but states’ power to discriminate against trans people ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/littl...

I think of the way conspiracy theories always metastasize. You start with one crackpot belief… but then you need to explain all the evidence and experts contradicting that belief, and before long you’ve had to invent an omnipotent Illuminati hiding the truth, and probably up to other awful stuff…

We find that while no groups of women workers are thriving in today’s economy with Trump’s economy especially failing Black, AIAN and NHPI women. (3/8)

One group flying under the radar in today’s jobs day chatter? Indigenous women. Indigenous women, including American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) & Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander women (NHPI), are not part of the monthly #JobsData release due to a lack of investment. #JobsDay (1/8)

The Miccosukee Tribe blocked Alligator Alcatraz. Then Trump blocked a bill to return their land.

3. After months of pressure, Avelo Airlines has ended their contract with ICE. This is the result of TONS of organizing from partners and Indivisible groups who have used their consumer power to force Avelo into noncompliance with the regime.

Some really positive news to keep in mind, from Liz at Indivisible. What we do does matter! 1. The Republican House majority is shrinking. With Rep. Greene's resignation and Rep. LaMalfa's death, Speaker Johnson can only afford to lose 2 Republican votes on any proposed legislation.

We love to see universities caving to right wing hysteria both literally and figuratively paying the price for it

X has become the Everything App that Elon always wanted, if “everything” means all the tools you need to fuck up someone’s life, in one place. This is the culmination of years and years of rampant abuse on the platform. www.404media.co/grok-ai-sexu...

The woman killed in Minneapolis- whom Vance described as a "domestic terrorist"- had done youth work in Presbyterian churches during two trips to Northern Ireland

This is why public backlash and mobilizing is so crucial. ICE is an out-of-control secret police and if the lesson they learn from this week is that escalating violence against civilians = less protest and less oversight, they will put that lesson into action. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

If a website appeared overnight that gave hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to create CSAM you'd expect governments to shut it down quickly, so the question is why X gets a pass when it's done just that? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

DHS Launches USCIS Fraud Investigation in Minnesota

Important: Minneapolis killing should lead Dems to draw a much harder line against *any* ICE funding in budget talks, Swalwell/Goldman agree. "I am not going to pay masked thugs to shoot moms in the face. Period," Swalwell says. A Dem House should be for defunding. newrepublic.com/article/2051...

We’re mobilizing across the country this weekend to honor Renee Nicole Good, demand accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s terror: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Renee Nicole Good was a 37-year-old wife and mother of three children who loved to sing and studied creative writing. We will not sit by while violence goes unanswered and our communities are terrorized. Please join us this weekend to say ICE Out For Good.

Powerful figures were “pouring rhetorical fuel on the flames of the very real fire,” says journalist Jacob Soboroff.
