That pastor is out there living the gospel. This kind of thing is also why at least one Episcopal diocese has apparently told its clergy to have their affairs (wills included) in order.

"ICE is violence-prone because its main purpose has become theatrical. Under present leadership, ICE is less a law-enforcement agency than it is a content creator. from David Frum: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

JUST IN: Rubio tells Judge Boasberg that there’s no way to retrieve the 137 Venezuelans deported under the Alien Enemies Act — or even offer them due process — given the delicate negotiations with Venezuela’s new post-Maduro regime. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

If this is how they behave in broad daylight when cameras are filming them, imagine how women are treated behind closed doors? Imagine what’s happening to them in the camps they’re being disappeared to? These masked men groped her, manhandled her and violently shoved her into a car

Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

Notice how they photograph her and upload it to a database before walking away? That should scare every one of us. They’ve got facial recognition software and access to databases to determine citizenship. They’re demanding papers from people just walking on the street. This is not freedom.

Gallego: "What type of man decides to walk around with a phone camera & at same time tries to make life & death decisions, then decides to pump one bullet that may have been forward-facing, but clearly the other 2 were on the side. Who is he? Clearly not someone who should be in law enforcement."

Honey Cat does this all day and nobody knows why #pets #cats

Unpopular opinion: No one is a warrior. Feudal romanticization of violence has irreparably damaged several generations of men that were born gentle. You were not born with a sword or a gun in your hand.  You were destined for bigger and more meaningful things than to die for an uncaring king.

Having been around many ICE/CBP career people in my life, this speaks very accurately to me.

They shot & killed Renee Good in broad daylight. They put seven holes in Marimar Martinez. They killed Keith Porter Jr. It’s been the deadliest year on record for ICE… yet here they are placing a knee on the neck of a US citizen. Imagine doing this in the city George Floyd was killed?

I adore it when people ask for info, then snark when someone offers it, just to then react with a block if you point out their own bs 🖕@bcdreyer.social

🚨 In Nov., Trump's Labor Dept. lowered the minimum wage for foreign farmworkers. A month later, Trump's winery filed to hire 36 foreign, temporary workers. The rate? Almost $2/hour less than in 2025. 1/ me, for @forbes.com

This is all kinda of illegal and very dangerous. It’s felony hit-and-run bc they fled the scene and, if I was a betting Alt, didn’t report their intentional at-fault collision to local authorities. Arrest the m’f’k’rs, goddammit.

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.

MAGAs: The left is escalating the rhetoric by calling us Nazis Also MAGAs: Look at our new podium, featuring a Nazi slogan about the time Nazis wiped out an entire village in Czechoslovakia and killed up to 5000 innocent people in retaliation for one Nazi being killed. "One of ours, all of yours."

Callaghan said that he asked if he was under arrest after officers asked for him to hand over his identification and his cellphone. “And then they said to me, ‘Well, you’re white, you won’t be any fun anyway. You can get out of the car.’”

ICE kidnap 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at Target then dump him bleeding and crying miles away in a Walmart parking lot… 🤬

Bovino says "rhetoric does cause violence" and characterizes protesters as "almost like cannon fodder"

Someone drew a cartoon pig on a deputy's coffee cup but the LASD is on the case! Personally, if my boss humiliated me with a press release that said he had called me to "check on my well being" because of a little cartoon on my coffee cup, I would change my name and move to another state.

ICE chokes woman—clenching his bare hands around her throat while 3 other kidnappers hold her. Agent then takes his 2 thumbs & gouges both her eyes out—mutilating her face. Woman lifted & tossed in back of unmarked car like bag of potatoes. "She's a U.S. citizen!" yells witness. Minneapolis, MN

for the second time today, Leavitt calls Renee Good "a lunatic" and then she storms away from reporters

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

BTW, if you have any additional recommendations for Gear To Cover Whatever This Moment In American History Is (masks, helmets, goggles, etc.), please feel free to reply to this post. If not for me, then for all my journalism colleagues who may end up needing the same gear.

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

Six-byline alert: 🚨 “.. laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then attacking and killing them. That is a war crime called ‘perfidy.’” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

🚨 Has this abuse of power become normalized already? I haven’t seen anyone in power DO ANYTHING to stop ICE since Nicole Good was murdered. How many innocents have to die? 100? 1,000? 10,000? 100,000? 1,000,000? 10M? This isn’t about immigration. This is about forcing us into submission.

Oh ffs

A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?

One out of 12 rams is uninterested in females. Deemed “non-procreative" by farmers, they're typically sent to slaughter. German farmer Michael Stücke rescues the gay rams. His company Rainbow Wool, sells fabulous wool products from his flock of gay sheep. rainbow-wool.com

Trump casually offers people in Greenland $10k-$100k to secede and join America. They have universal healthcare, paid time off, job security, childcare, education and democracy. No one is giving that up to join a fascist country. So now Republicans have introduced a bill to force the issue.

Absolutely fucking nunya , you damn ghoul

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

Renee Good wasn’t the first person whom federal agents shot during an immigration enforcement action. But her killing, and what followed, sparked an outpouring of anger that had been building for months.

BREAKING: Senator Mark Kelly sues Pete Hegseth, DOD, and others over Hegseth's censure of Kelly and effort to reduce his retirement grade, alleging violations of the First Amendment, due process, Speech & Debate Clause, and federal laws. Kelly is represented by Arnold & Porter.

The Kelly case has been assigned to Judge Richard Leon. That's especially ironic because it was Judge Leon who held, in Larrabee, that the Constitution bars the military from prosecuting retired servicemembers (like Senator Kelly) for post-retirement offenses: cases.justia.com/federal/dist...

"Folks at the highest levels of government are perpetuating falsehoods … and working overtime justify the brutal murder of Renee Good," says Minneapolis civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong.

BIG FLAG: Trump said during his interview with The New York Times that he regretted not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines in swing states after his loss in the 2020 election. He doubted whether the Guard was "sophisticated enough" to carry out the order effectively.

A felon who married an immigrant is telling a lot of y’all that the problems in this country all stem from felons and immigrants. But keep buying that stupid red hat that’s made in China.

@2wdradio.bsky.social playing Miley Cyrus' 'Flowers' and then Eurythmics 'Sweet Dreams' ... *car dancing in the drop off lane* Someone Pitch Perfect mix me those two!

Mark Ruffalo easily won the night — @markruffalo.bsky.social: I’m not feeling so great. We have a woman, Renee Good was murdered in our streets of America. And as much as I love all this, I don’t know if I can pretend like this crazy stuff isn’t happening. #GoldenGlobes

“Do you believe deadly force was necessary?” TRUMP: “They were highly disrespectful of law enforcement.” Apparently being disrespectful is punishable by death now

If you're overwhelmed by everything going on, please-take a break With Venezuela, ICE shooting Renee Good, the threats against Greenland, the extortion of Jerome Powell, America might seem terrifying Take your time. Make sure YOU are OK And remember-there are still a lot of good people in the US

Trump can't outright fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell (SCOTUS said so in the MSPB/NLRB case), so he has to create "cause." That's what this investigation is about, as I mentioned here: bsky.app/profile/muel...

Bovino and crew chased out of a Target in MN. You love to see it. www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Raids/...

In this clip from a longer interview, she says while she was in detention, agents called Renee Good a “lesbian b*tch.” This video belongs to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social and I’ll take it down if they want me to. 2/2
