My anger at having to stand outside my kid’s school for two hours to ensure none of their classmates, parents, or teachers get kidnapped by my own government is only slightly tempered by the amazing outpouring of support from other parents and especially neighbors who stand against this bullshit.

More than one person can suck at a time, unfortunately.

@people.com is currently covering the reality of Trump's fascist regime better than established, former legacy stalwarts like the @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com.

Customs and Border Protection shot two people in Portland, Oregon, just hours after JD Vance said this:

NEW: Data released by ICE shows that virtually the entire growth of detention in the last few months has been among people with no criminal record at all - no prior convictions (no matter how minor) and no pending criminal charges.

This is neither a lack of training or judgement. This is intentional acts knowing full well their potential lethality. They want you terrified that standing up for what is right will be deadly so you won't risk it.

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

Every republican voted to shoot an innocent woman in the face and they all think it’s cool and fun, and every centrist wants to accommodate them

From yesterday: There is good reason to believe that Stephen Miller gives Greg Bovino orders on rules of engagement and use of force. Bovino has been at--if not personally involved in--a huge number of the assaults (and now killing) of peaceful protestors. www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/07/t...

if you are a mayor of a city—any city—you need to be telling these people to get out of it.

THEY SHOT THEM IN A FUCKING HOSPITAL FUCKING PARKING LOT

fox news putting in the legwork on my posts

If this was happening in another country it would be reported as "military junta violently attacks teenagers demanding freedom from repressive regime"

I took this picture with a potato obviously but there were a lot of people out in Baltimore tonight. Fuck ICE forever.

Sky News on Renee Nicole Good murder: "There are deeply conflicting accounts of what happened." REALLY? Gonna both-sides this? One "account" can be seen on video and is confirmed by a dozen eye-witnesses. The other is a social media post by history's most notorious pathological liar. Grow a spine.

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles. Absolutely vile.

Remember, there are no good Republicans.

And less than a month later, another federal agent shot at another driver they said was trying to flee a stop. As I reported at the time, having lots of federal agents policing means training and accountability standards are all over the place: 51st.news/federal-poli...

Regarding today’s shooting in Minneapolis, recall that in mid-October a federal agent shot and almost killed D.C. driver Phillip Brown under similar circumstances. The agent claimed Brown was driving towards him as he tried to flee from a police stop.

a small real thing you can do right now. Bree’s squad just sent 200 of these to my stepmom for the anti-ICE ministry at our church. you can chip in for materials and supplies at the links below

The FBI’s finding that all 150 shootings by FBI agents over an 18-year period were faultless was an important step in my realization that all police agencies will lie about and conceal illegal actions of their officers

MPD said they turned the investigation over to the FBI. Why in the sam fuck would you do that?

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

really wish the “opposition” party had not spent years upon years trying to outdo the GOP in lavishing money arms and deference on state security forces

We don’t need to compare what happened in Minneapolis to Nazi Germany. We can compare it to what has happened in Minneapolis before.

ICE agent kills woman, DHS tells obvious, insane lies about it: defector.com/ice-agent-ki...

Unfortunately I’ve heard this after every murder committed by the Baltimore Police Department too. We’ve spent decades getting acclimated to this. Whatever comes next it can’t be a return to what was normal before it.

in what the fuck way was ordering that lady to get out of her car "immigration and customs enforcement" in the first place

Any one of us could be shot or kidnapped because an ICE agent doesn’t like the look of us. Are you prepared to be murdered in cold blood while “news” sources repeat the claim you were “weaponizing your vehicle” trying to leave your driveway? They want you to accept that. They want to make it normal

Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

He’s about to be famous, and in hiding.

truly the lowest and most despicable cowards this country has ever produced

it can get a little old talking about the media regurgitating the "-involved" / "feared for his life" language of the state (a practice media has not done a better job of handling even in recent years www.huffpost.com/entry/police...) but it deployed for ICE killing someone is why this stuff matters

It's very clear from the commentary exploding on the timeline right now that hardly anyone outside Chicago knows ICE shot and killed a man in his car here in the fall. It's probably not your fault—too much news. But if you're choosing to jump in & *report* today, please contextualize. Thanks.

Elon Musk claims he stopped his AI chatbot from digitally undressing people — but it’s still happening. Users who create the images could face prison time under a law Trump signed in May. From @ryanlcooper.com: trib.al/0vYqEAp

“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Yeah, performative anti-wokeness became a trendy stance, and this dynamic, where people just act as if they didn’t gleefully push it forward now that the obvious racism behind it is plain to see, annoys me.

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.

DEVELOPING: ICE shot and killed someone in Minneapolis. Echoing another shooting by ICE in Maryland in December, vehicle was stopped in front of ICE and ICE agents got out of their car and opened fire. Developing - more TK.

A bajillion dollars spent on consultants and endless obsession over squashing the left to protect party messaging just to produce this. You can care about the President's reckless and illegal imperialism and his economic incompetence at the same time, but this just trivializes both.

Our first investigation of the year just landed, and it’s a doozy. More than 1,000 children across Texas were affected by this. Through interviews with more than a dozen former employees and the review of internal documents and court records, The Barbed Wire found:

there is this atheist argument about how heaven would suck because all the poets and musicians and artist are in hell and i feel like we are watching people live that in real time. they have to listen to carrie underwood screech scream hallelujah for eternity.

Okay so behind 1) ahistorical goombah tantrums about Columbus and 2) NoVA republicans realizing their neighbors hate them, my third favorite genre of crashout is Catholics learning what Catholicism is

The boomers that will call into their state rep's office with their full legal name and home address and say "there's a pot hole on 30th Street I keep hitting and I hit it one more time I'm going to kill you with an axe" have more of an idea of what the government should be doing for them than most
