The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good must be prosecuted for murder. He enjoys no immunity from state murder charges. Then, Blue state governors must call up their National Guard to protect us from the armed ICE terrorists. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Pro tip: if your Mayor or your City Council are talking tough about ICE, demand that they take steps to limit local cops from sharing surveillance data with ICE. If they don't, they're full of shit.

If you’re reading articles about EV sales GROWTH slowing, and they make no mention of ICE having zero growth the last NINE years and only DECLINING, that outlet is pressing EV FUD for lazy carmakers and the fossil fuel industry.

If the things I have to say hurt your feelings, sit with that for a minute, then ask yourself why it's easier to be mad at me than at the system that's fucking us both.

“We are here to say no — no to the kidnapping of our neighbors, no to the normalization of fascist violence. We are here because our love and decency are stronger than our fears, and because we know we will find courage in each other.”

Although a white woman was killed, remember that ICE was in Minneapolis because a MAGA agitator stirred up racist myths about Black immigrants committing fraud and Trump latched on to it to appease his base and distract from his failures as president. Structural racism means violence for everyone.

“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...” A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today. lithub.com/renee-nicole...

It’s absolutely the right call and fucking surreal that our public schools have to close because of the threat posed by OUR OWN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I am beyond livid.

People have been fighting ICE for the last year, as well thy should. It’s time to up that organizing and resist like never before. www.jphilll.com/p/the-anti-i...

This machine exists for moments like this. The public has to be told that what they think they saw did not happen. They did that with George Floyd and January 6 and any number of national tragedies. The gaslighting in overwhelming in times like these.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

An ICE agent shot and killed a woman Wednesday morning in south Minneapolis. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: “We’re demanding ICE to leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Organizers in Twin Cities making rare plea for folks to share broadly: ICE ops have changed & escalated this week. They've moved to a 'flood-the-zone' strategy, nabbing anyone they can from bus stops, the sidewalk, cars, or homes. This means indiscriminate abductions and obviously no warrants.

Well-done investigation about the middlemen of the middlemen. Pharmacy benefit managers were facing pressure to share all the rebates they negotiate on drug prices with health plans. So they invented subsidiaries called PBM GPOs to siphon off some of the rebates as "fees." hntrbrk.com/pbmgpo/

Expertly done by Mehdi. Worth the watch.

They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.

We need to grapple with the reality that we're very close to living in a police state. "Officers repeatedly pressed her on whether she was Venezuelan, what her connection to Venezuela was, and why she had attended the protest. Plichta claimed they tried to get her to identify other demonstrators."

James Baldwin: "We know, everybody knows, no matter what the professions of my unhappy country may be, that we are not bombing people out of existence in the name of freedom"

"We are on a ship whose thin hull has finally rusted through in too many places, that is going down no matter how fast the passengers desperately try to bail it out."

Welcome back to 2003. Some of us have been writing for a decade that MAGA & neoconservatism were united in supremacist militarism with the differences being a struggle for internal power and if you want to know more I can recommend a pretty good book:

WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THERE WAS AN OUTLAWS REMASTER COMING?!?!

Something I see a lot of folks missing in discussions about what's happening Venezuela, particularly around oil, is the role U.S. oil majors' interest in Guyana—and the threat Venezuela posed to it—has in all of it. Explainer here: drilled.media/news/guyana-...

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

I was really going to wait longer to post this until I'd added all the examples to github, but since clearly the pace of 2026 may actually outstrip 2025: here is a rough guide to archiving legislative and congressional hearings. 2026 is going to be an all-hands situation. We need eyes on everything.

The people who most loudly complain "Why can't these immigrants just stay in their country???" are the same ones who most loudly celebrate American military and CIA interventionism in these countries to overthrow their governments. And they lack the self awareness to understand their own hypocrisy.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Who the fuck cares?

I'm sure many other nations are so grateful to the US for setting this precedent on how to deal with Putin, Netanyahu, and Trump himself.

It's fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

New: We got an internal ICE document revealing its $100 million ad plan to bring in 14,000 new hires: deals with "tactical" influencers; ads to gun & military buffs; and geo-targeting phones around NASCAR races and gun shows. A "wartime recruitment" mode with paramilitary branding: wapo.st/44QrP5j

There's a global solar energy revolution happening led by China and it should have been one of the biggest stories of 2025. While the US is committing to a suicide pact with fossil fuels, the rest of the world is leapfrogging into cheap nearly limitless energy. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/30/c...

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

We suspect ICE commits crimes at a far higher rate than the people they are kidnapping.

Far too many people are like "those are not the same windows" and like... I'm sorry you're unable to do pattern recognition, you should talk to someone about that.

Dude! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣👇

Flock and Urban Surveillance "Mass surveillance in the US often feels like a lost cause, but I suppose it's only lost if we give up. It doesn't take that many people showing up at a city council meeting to make something a priority to the councilors" #deflock #surveillance #alpr

Imagine it being easier to just pay the 8 billion dollars and it won't affect you in the slightest. Man what have we done lol
