JUST NOW: Huge mass of agents in a standoff, weapons drawn as Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison attempt to conduct congressional oversight at the Whipple Building, which has been HQ for thousands of ICE agents. @zeteo.com

The only way the next democratic administration is going to do anything even somewhat resembling reforming and rooting out lawless thugs from ICE and elsewhere is due to sustained popular pressure. Otherwise, the instinct from the Dem elite to just turn the page and move on is going to be massive

We live in a world of tactical wipes, so men's insecurities are a guaranteed gangbuster business

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive. The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.

"The powers that be that control these things have never read something and watched a hockey game at the same time"

I have seen a lot of people say “what’s the point?” of doing their academic work in particular, and I get that. It’s like grief: the inbox, the day to day, doesn’t reflect any of the feelings. But, gosh, a part of me stubbornly thinks: they want us to never think, they want it so badly.

“"They kill," Dorismond said, "and after that, they kill him the other way— with the mouth." “Taking Good's life wasn't enough. The moment she died, it became imperative for the administration to also destroy her memory.”

As a principled libertarian, I believe that anyone who doesn't immediately do what ICE says should be shot dead. And as a principled states' rights advocate, I believe that the federal government should not allow states to prosecute these shootings.

ICE has murdered THIRTY TWO PEOPLE in detention centers. Four in the last week. www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

starting a rumor that the agency's full name is Legal Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or LICE

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

Finally, the NYT time-synched the grainy video Trump posted -- which some claim shows Good's SUV striking the officer -- with footage from closer angles. This makes clear that the SUV did not strike the officer. That in itself doesn't mean the shooting was illegal. But it's an important corrective.

"You deserve to die if you disagree with us" is their position. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I’m not going to lie. I’ve been writing about the War on Terror in its depravity my whole adult life. And the brazen execution of Renee Nicole Good has left me in a state since the moment I watched it.

ICE orphaned a 6 year old boy www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

I don't think you can truly grapple with where we are, and how we come back from it, without recognizing this is not a constitutionally legitimate government and he is not the lawful president of the United States.

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

😡😡😡😡

According to witnesses, this is the masked ICE agent who shot the driver in Minneapolis. He shot from the side into the vehicle. This is him walking away from the crashed vehicle.

Video makes clear almost every word of this is a lie.

According to people in Aida refugee camp this demolition could happen as soon as tomorrow. They wrote today to FIFA and the Swiss government urging them to call on Israel to desist from any demolition plans. The pitch is a lifeline for hundreds of Palestinian boys and girls.

“The U.S. under Trump is an outlaw nation, threatening excellent neighbors like Canada, blasting people in fast boats to pieces, bullying friends and foes alike…We are becoming the kind of nation against which America used to defend others.” www.thebulwark.com/p/we-are-the...

For whatever reason, because of whatever backstory, for whatever ideological drives this guy has always worked for Russia.

Also, this is not what Florida Man means

Don't let this Jan 6th point get lost: Jack Smith testified to Congress he had "proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election." In other words, he could prove in court that Trump attempted a coup.

Republicans were very clear during the election that this is what they believed, & that this was what they would act upon when in office. Editors & tastemakers discounted it all, because it was ridiculous. Everything was fine. No one would blow everything up for the sake of delusion. Now here we are

fuck outta here

Remember when a guy lost an election and then spent months making wild, baseless claims that it was stolen, leveraging the personality cult he’d built to try to get people to reject the results? And then thousands of his supporters rioted, injuring hundreds of cops? Whatever happened to that guy?

“I gaveled in Congress on Jan. 6. We can never forget what happened.” Donald Trump pardoned all the insurrectionists. In a civilized society, writes Rep. Eric Swalwell, you do not choose the criminal over the constable.

If the DEA had killed 80 innocent Americans in the course of apprehending one drug dealer, there would be riots. But we are so ghoulishly indifferent to the lives and humanity of people abroad that it's barely even part of the conversation.

1/ Well, he did it. He actually did it. RFK Jr. just issued a unilateral directive to overhaul the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule. This isn’t based on new data or new evidence, and he bypassed every scientific and clinical process we have, including not taking public comment.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

NYT: At least 40 people were killed in the US attack on Venezuela, including military personnel and civilians.

“.. There is no evidence that anyone on the Trump team has thought about what will happen tomorrow, or next week, or next year .. “.. we’re not even 24 hours into this .. Decades later, we’re still dealing with the aftermath in Afghanistan and Iraq.” fallows.substack.com/p/blind-into...

The automated sexual abuse that Musk is doing right now should be national news. People should be going to prison for this shit. The logical conclusion to generative image creation and the internet, pure public automatic violence. Every Pizzagate fear just out in the open.

Unprecedented corruption and grifting

There are only 45 million foreign-born people living in the United States right now, about half of whom are naturalized citizens. So this ridiculous edge-lord post by taxpayer-funded trolls is suggesting deporting 55 million native-born citizens.

House Judiciary Committee releases on New Years Eve (in an obvious attempt to bury this info) the Jack Smith deposition transcript. I recommend doing a word search for "proof beyond a reasonable doubt." And explanation of disenfranchisement of urban areas. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

rip to one of the goats of all time. see you in valhalla brother

Ops like Oldham’s erase the value of civilian lives, rather than really engaging in a meaningful balance. Plus, arguing that we should subject LETHAL ENCOUNTERS W ARMED STATE ACTORS to *LESS* scrutiny than “was that a touchdown” is a wild, and wildly inhumane, position to take.

Did US Special Forces just inadvertently confirm there was a CIA operation in Venezuela?

It’s true, when I would walk around wearing a condom in public, the looks people gave me were almost as bad as the ways they treat people wearing masks today.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

That makes 32 reported deaths in ICE custody since Trump took power again.

“the president seems to be using the doj to hide his years of involvement with the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history” feels like a story worth reporting on

Context you rarely hear: global stocks are up about 30% over the past year. U.S. stocks? Around 18%. That means American investors underperformed the world by about 12 percentage points, even while headlines called it a “fantastic year.”
