shame this man and cast him out from anywhere and everywhere. For murderous fascists (and they are all murderous)? Nothing. No support, no sympathy, no succour, no friends, no family, no business services. None of the things they would so happily deny to so many of us.

Lot of people in my replies basically acting like Chuck “why even bothering to fight” Schumer The fuck is wrong with y’all?

A bunch of people replying to this with some version of “the FBI has seized all of the evidence” and just, no, they haven’t blacksky.community/profile/did:...

Did the feds steal the body of the murder victim? That’s still more evidence that can be presented to a grand jury.

Eye witness testimony, presented under oath to a grand jury, is evidence. The videos are, likewise, evidence that can be presented to a grand jury. If the fear is that DOJ is going to obstruct a state prosecution of murder, than actually make them try to do it.

Are those witnesses being held against their will by FBI or DHS? Are they being intimidated into not cooperating with state law enforcement officials? If so, Minnesota should charge that conduct as well. If not, I don’t understand the objection about evidence.

Dozens (?) of witnesses saw the murder with their own eyes. Some significant subset of those people recorded video of the murder. What additional evidence is needed to establish probable cause and secure an indictment?

Democrats stop enabling, supporting, & extending fascism challenge: FAIL!

I mean, it will expire unless Trump chooses to have it not do so. HOWEVER! & (strange take for me): New START should be allowed to expire absent Russian resumption of data exchanges & inspect visits as treaty requires (addressing Oreshnik deployment violation would also be nice).

The number of people who have fallen for the Regime’s lies in my replies is fucking wild

SCOTUS has zero enforcement mechanism It’s based on good faith but pls show me where the supreme court has any power at all to enforce laws Gop thumbed their nose at a ruling and nobody said shit

I admire States and communities that take their cases into their own hands. This is an example to follow and a very important democratic right. Let's go...follow this mode of leadership all over USA and the world.

Colorado tried to bar Shitler from the ballot but USSC rescued him. That's how far we have fallen

I hope you are right because...

That's exactly what I thought too. Police all over the country let people die because it saves them money AND there are less people to testify against them.

As I commented on a different post, corpses are cheaper than survivors.

According to further news reporting, ICE also prevented an ambulance from reaching the woman.

I gave her office the video I had

I've talked to Minneapolis DA Mary Moriarty several times, including a few months ago. Former public defender with no qualms about charging abusive cops. She has also been threatened by the Trump administration, is not seeking reelection, and doesn't back down. Shit's about to get real.

BREAKING: The Hennepin County District Attorney's office says they have jurisdiction to charge the ICE agent involved in the fatal Minneapolis shooting.

They absolutely do!

This afternoon the U.S. House of Representatives passed a measure (HR 1834) that would extend the discontinued-as-of-January-1 ACA premium help by a vote of 230-196. clerk.house.gov/Votes/202611

Our seemingly unaccountable fascist goons are continuing to shoot people with gay abandon. I am really fucking done for the day from my own stuff. Good night bluesky. Together is the only way we build liveable todays and tomorrows. Diversity of tactics is necessary.

Hollywood trained people to think "no FBI cooperation = no case." Wrong. Under the rules of evidence, eyewitness testimony is proof. Video authenticated under oath is proof. Minnesota has both. You don't need a ballistics report when multiple witnesses watched an ICE agent shoot a woman in the face.

He's going to start bombing Mexico. I know it's only one thing — and many of our elected leaders are cowards — but keep calling them anyway. If you can get to a town hall with one of them, go, ask them to do something against this madness.

during the Iranian Revolution, I was a baby in my mother's arms, as she and my father tried to get my mother and me on the last planes out of Tehran. Its surreal to watch the few images trickling out of Iran now.

What a party animal. #terryboy

There's been some confusion, and this is important, so let me say there's no paywall, there's no patreon account required, anyone you send this to just has to click the link to open the page and read the post

This is important. The murderer of Renee Good can be prosecuted by a Minnesota court. The media will try and convince you otherwise, they will be lying.

This is excellent, short, and well worth a read.

I did not know this, but Matthew is usually very knowledgeable about legal nuances they write about, so I’m inclined to believe it.

I spent 4 hours writing that patreon.com/mattbc post; I started with sources from my own law library, I followed up by reading through the line of jurisprudence using Decisis (the poor them's westlaw), then I went back and fact checked every assertion I made. I think trying to be accurate matters.

Everyone is needed. We need everyone. In this fight, there is work for everyone.

last year, i had the chance to hang out with a few professional photogs who shot for the likes of usa today, wapo, nyt i asked them about ai images, and learned all sorts of things about how'd they'd already incorporated cryptographically signing photos into their workflows — easily, it turned out

The NYT is a fascist outlet and I'll celebrate the day of its demise

NYT: “who you gonna believe - me or your own eyes?” Both sides-ing murder now. Yes, ICE will kill any of us for anything. #DisarmICE #AbolishICE

I wonder why...

Also should have turned off quote posts, really bizarre behavior in the quote posts of this

1. You do not need to watch a video of ICE murdering someone in order to be an informed citizen. 2. Not clear why posters are uploading that unredacted, uncensored video to this niche social media site full of people who already hate ICE. What are you doing???

This is not restrainable or reformable. Abolish ICE et al & DHS.

Please don't mistake that ⤵️ for a normative argument (i.e. Senators **are correct** to not obstruct the chamber out of fear for their own safety), I was making a positive statement (i.e. this is a thing that is happening in the world). We have to grapple with the world as it actually exists.

Lol how can you tell this administration is lying to you? Because oil hasn't been shipped in actual barrels in over a century www.cnn.com/2026/01/06/b...

thinking again about that OU essay "controversy" and how the university fired the trans assistant teacher but only briefly suspended the cis professor (afaik) 🙃🙃🙃
