“Can I check a pulse?” yelled the bystander, standing across Portland Avenue from Renee Good’s lifeless body inside her crashed SUV, video footage of the exchange shows. “No,” an agent replies. “Back up.” “I’m a physician!” “I don’t care.”

"Singing Resistance" Minneapolis, MN Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026

I don’t see how this country survives until 2029 unless Trump is impeached and removed. This level of lawless malice is not sustainable. What fresh horrors await us this week?

@carolecadwalla.bsky.social talk more about the belief the Brits can manipulate Trump. It's very much part of the "we've been here forever, we'll be here forever" cultural tone the Brits have. You and @nickcohen.bsky.social should do several episodes together!

I hope #NewJersey and #Miami are paying attention… incoming democratic leadership needs to be on point: pass the laws banning face masks on law enforcement. Dispatch state police to prevent them from illegal activity (verify warrants, no door kicking, no violation of rights). And people get ready.

This whole list is good but this is the key: they are coming to your town too, the time to organize is now not once they touch down.

Donald Trump and his father were busted by the DOJ for refusing to rent to Black people. They were guilty but they avoided responsibility by aggressively litigating. It was one of the formative experiences of his life.

I mean I'm anti-ICE and pro-Fed -- but if it came down to it, I'm more anti-ICE than pro-Fed. Luckily, we can be both. And Democrats can and should fight both fights.

The U.K. will develop 'Nightfall' for Ukraine, a high precision ballistic missile able to be launched in quick succession and which will not be subject to foreign export restrictions. The first missiles are scheduled to be produced in a year.

Here’s what The Counteroffensive is reading today: The UK now has confirmed a legal basis for the UK military to forcibly board and detain shadow fleet vessels, BBC reports. This follows British troops assisting the U.S. in forcibly boarding a Russian shadow fleet tanker.

These are the sorts of things local authorities could be enforcing to get ICE out but aren’t, these are unequivocal public safety violations & with the mass of surveillance LP readers we already know where they are! (Post is from a month ago to illustrate this isn’t even a new thing)

Let’s be clear: ICE defines ‘obstruction’ as any lawful action a citizen takes that they don’t like.

Patty, a woman observer in Minneapolis, was abducted from a car by federal agents today. She was released and talked about her experience in custody. An agent said, "You guys gotta stop obstructing us. That's why that lesbian bitch is dead." 🙏🏼 @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

Voters in Texas, Arkansas, and Florida this month are deciding elections after each of their governors caused monthslong delays in filling the vacant seats, sparking lawsuits to force them to call these contests.

A simple solution to include Ukraine into NATO. Remove the US who are threatening a member state(Greenland) remove Hungary who would prefer Putins regime. Time to move on

Trump is going to use DOJ/FBI to try to steal the 2026 election. My legal team and I will fight back in court but we all have a role to play. Tomorrow, I will offer my thoughts on what Trump is up to and what we need to do now. Subscribe to Democracy Docket for free to find out. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

"The baseless attacks against Good are a coordinated, brazen and callous government propaganda effort. The goal is to convince Americans to believe an official narrative over objective evidence — including video of the incident." This is an essential read from @juddlegum.bsky.social:

Václav Havel described a kind hope without optimism: a moral duty, sustained even when outcomes seem bleak. Kant’s “conjectural history,” differs from actual history because humans are free The only prophecy that can come true is the one that the prophet helps to bring about. Hope, based on action.

Absolutely related that Trump’s paramilitary is shooting peaceful women in the face, while Musk’s platform is now all about creating misogynistic deepfake porn.

They like to call themselves protectors of women. But that protection extends only to women who fawn over them.

Donald Trump’s first appearance in the NYT— “Major Landlord Accused of Antiblack Bias in City” from 1974

“.. Even before news of the investigation, Powell had hired Williams & Connolly, one of Washington’s premier litigation firms, as outside counsel—a precaution given the administration’s escalating pressure on the Fed might turn legal.” @nicktimiraos.bsky.social www.wsj.com/economy/cent...

1. There is an ongoing smear campaign against Renee Good, the 37-year-old mother killed by ICE. The goal is to convince Americans to believe an official narrative over objective evidence — including video of the incident.

It doesn’t take a trained ear to hear the deflections. Homan does not deny taking a bag of money. The public deserves answers.

The State of Minnesota is a separate sovereign, entitled to enforce its own laws. Feds are certainly entitled to conduct a parallel investigation, but not to freeze out state investigators. www.cnn.com/2026/01/09/p...

WELKER: Has the president crossed the line of impeachment? CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

In my world, there's a certain reluctance to being merely, or in a knee-jerk way, a resist lib. That's understandable, even commendable. On the other hand, let's be clear: It's a hell of lot better, morally and intellectually and politically, to be a resist lib than a Vichy conservative.

The pathetic flopsweat performances of Noem and Homan on the Sunday news shows is a good reminder that when you staff an administration with hateful stupid thugs, they'll handle the "fucking around" part well enough but will be utterly useless when the "finding out" begins.

Saying the officer who committed murder is a murderer is dangerous, but it's OK to claim that his victim was a domestic terrorist who literally ran him over.

Ronald Reagan’s budget director.

Morrison: "We were met when we came up to the gates of the ICE facility with a phalanx of about 25 armed officers who were quite menacing in their approach. So to suggest 3 members of Congress who were there unarmed to conduct oversight is somehow an inflammatory action is patently untrue."

This weekend, Americans are standing up for our communities that are being terrorized by Trump’s fascist death squads. Join us to demand accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee Nicole Good: mobilize.us?tag_ids=2913... #ICEOutForGood

Kneel or die.

Craig: "This is ridiculous. The budget reconciliation bill they're quoting that would not allow us to come in is an appropriations bill, a budget bill. It's absolute nonsense. We'll be notifying the district court of these activities. We actually have a right to talk to our detained constituents"

Kaine: "I can tell you this -- we will force a vote in the Senate about no US military action in Greenland or Denmark if we need to. We will get overwhelmingly bipartisan support that this president is foolish to even suggest this."

The U.S.-Born Unemployment Rate Rose After Trump Reduced Immigration www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Yet again, Elon Musk is pushing the insanely racist Great Replacement Theory that has directly inspired several mass murders from his fellow white supremacists. The richest man in the world who controls a massive media platform is *repeatedly* pushing this garbage and it should be a global scandal.

🚨BREAKING: Federal prosecutors tell federal judge they need an additional MONTH to review Ghislaine Maxwell's routine motion to throw out her conviction because she attached 148 documents that need to be reviewed. Trump's DOJ has released .6% of the records required by law to be public by Dec. 19.

The brutality of state force is in the streets, it’s on video, and it’s being defended at the highest levels of government. If we do not act now with united, powerful resistance, the normalization of militarized state power will become irreversible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

We have cleaned up the crime scene and blocked a local investigation and hidden the perpetrator and invaded the state and that is how you know that we are acting in good faith and that everything was the victim’s fault. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

This is true and the right political move would be defending immigration as a universal good.

America’s leadership class no longer leads, it hides. In the absence of America’s supposed traditional leaders, it’s up to the rest of us to step up. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC0vKzRmPos

Terrorizing American citizens. Threatening American allies. Covering up for American sex criminals. Welcome to the Trump administration, 2026!

70% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to govt data. Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.” As ICE terrorizes cities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of Trump's major donors are private prison corporations.
