Two people were just shot by ICE in Minneapolis off N 24th Ave. Early indications are that they'll survive.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

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.

There are many things that have elevated them into a baronial class of “supercitizens,” and it’s an elevation that is antithetical to a healthy democracy. This has been a point critics have been making for ages. I hope seeing ICE unleashed makes clear why they have been.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already: If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder. It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO. /1

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

🚨 NEW VIDEO 👇🏽This puts an end to all the lies. Horrific. They were having a calm exchange seconds before he murdered Renee Good, and she was barely moving and clearly avoiding him. Stop the lies.

Abolish ICE. No Democrat should vote to continue to fund the government until this fucking agency and DHS are reigned in. That they are doubling down on this will get more people killed. It was always going to. We are not angry enough.

US Border agents shoot two people in Portland, city officials say

We are working to update this story as soon as possible, but here is the info we have: https://www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/01/portland-police-responding-to-report-of-shooting-by-federal-immigration-agent.html 

UPDATE: Portland police said Thursday that federal agents shot and injured two people in east Portland.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock? Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

a few thoughts youtu.be/lERS4kJIQR8

"They carried her body out, just like by her limbs, they didn’t even have a stretcher," a witness says. "She was carried out like a sack of potatoes."

I'm sorry, but I just think it's very telling when we differentiate between ICE's killing of American citizens versus undocumented immigrants. And I'm seeing that a lot right now.

ICE shot a woman point-blank in Minneapolis. The agency’s raids and impunity were always going to lead to death.

‘She was an amazing human being:’ Mother identifies woman shot, killed by ICE agent www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Millions of Americans watched a middle-aged US citizen get shot in the face and killed by an ICE officer today. That's a level of national trauma that deserves a more respectful response from this administration than falsely claiming she's a domestic terrorist. We have lost our moral compass.

remains striking the extent to which trump quite loudly does not see himself as president of the united states and more as a clan leader for his supporters

Walz: "Do you have no decency? We have someone dead in their car for no reason whatsoever. I don't want to be right about this, but I said if they do this they're gonna create a chaotic situation where someone innocent is gonna get killed. And they did it."

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

A witness shared this video with me showing an ICE officer shooting a driver in an SUV in south Minneapolis. DHS says the woman is dead.

"Exigimos la inmediata liberación de Nicolás Maduro y de su esposa, Cilia Flores" Delcy Rodríguez Vicepresidenta de Venezuela 👇🏼

Trump just literally kidnapped the president of another country.

Video from the port city of La Guaira shows the aftermath of explosions that took place across Venezuela on early Saturday morning. President Maduro has declared a state of emergency after accusing the US of striking the country.

The BBC has verified this video out of Venezuela.

Trump just illegally bombed Venezuela and sent in troops without congressional authorization. Innocent people are going to die because this demented bastard wants to waive his tiny dick around to force a regime change.

Every year, the new year becomes a little more "whew, we made it!" than "woohoo, the future!" and I can't tell if it's age or, you know, end times
