"We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. ... "On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns." —Becca Good

Our ancestors were real breathing people who turned sticks into fire, their descendants spent thousands of years building a regime of unsurpassed global peace and prosperity, and we shall not entertain the suggestion that it all ends here just because the man with the golden toilet says so.

CBP was so notorious for doing this that they’ve actually be given instructions to stop… more than a decade ago. bsky.app/profile/kebr...

The Guardian doing inexplicable voluntary free public relations work for a corporation profiting from sexual abuse by headlining this as the image gen being "turned off". It isn't off: they've just monetised it. What the fuck are we doing here people, come on. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The fact we have clear video evidence of the ICE murder and they’re lying about it should put a nail in the coffin for “the truth speaks for itself.” We all need to be advocates for the truth, most of all elected leaders.

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

For my newsletter this morning, I called for a ban on Grok after X, the child porn app formerly known as Twitter, started removing the clothes of women and girls in photos posted on the site. www.burnsnotice.com/grok-the-chi...

Damning from the Süddeutsche: "In Trump's America, it's now your own fault if you are shot." Peter Burghardt writes of government "without decency or empathy." Minneapolis: In Trumps Amerika ist man nun selbst schuld, wenn man erschossen wird sz.de/li.3365393

This is a big deal

Grok has not "turned off" its CSAM generator for anyone - it has simply put it behind a paywall. Stop uncritically repeating the narratives of tech companies.

We had hoped 1000 people would show up for the No ICE in NH demonstration. The final number is 1200+. Well done Merrimack and NH. Photo by Anthony Pelletier.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

a CBP officer shot a “vicious” “TdA” member who was dangerous to the community and then they just fucking left? nope, absolutely the fuck not, this is a lie and this was a double attempted murder

They're always lying but they are most especially lying if they are talking about gangs

lmao

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

When an ICE agent fired the tear gas canister, it hit 55-year-old nurse Vincent Hawkins in the face, shattering his glasses and concussing him. As he was rushed to the emergency room, he wondered if he'd ever see through his left eye again. (Published Nov. 2025 w/ @frontlinepbs.bsky.social)

Peaceful vigil for Renee Good tonight in Seattle.

7 Democrats just voted today to confirm a Trump judicial nominee who refused to say what happened on January 6 or answer who won the 2020 election: Durbin Hassan Kaine King Klobuchar Shaheen Welch

The difference between the Mexican cartels and the country of Venezuela is that the Mexican cartels have a far greater ability to hit back at the United States. For example, they could grab a random American family in Acapulco and murder them brutally just to send a message.

per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing

ICE is hiring fast, but they still do not have the manpower to be everywhere at the same time.

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

@atrupar.com two more people shot by Federal agents in Portland, OR. Witness said they were driving away after being blocked in and officers fired while they were fleeing. One had chest would, the other leg wound & taken to hospitals. CBP claiming self defense. www.oregonlive.com/crime/2026/0...

Just one day after Renee Good was gunned down by ICE in Minneapolis, federal agents under Trump have shot more people, this time in my neighborhood. I am furious.

can't think of any possible problems with this plan

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens. The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens. There are more of us.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Then deny unanimous consent, you coward*

A majority of the Senate D caucus could have Schumer replaced at any time. They haven't done that. This is their message, right now.

This is not the law.

If Iranian protestors have breached IRGC headquarters, this is even farther along than I realized

The ICE murderer's name is Jonathan Ross, and this wasn't the first time he tried this: www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

This picture, from Karem Yucel, on instagram. Outside Roosevelt high school, At dismissal. AFTER Federal agents KILLED A WOMAN EARLIER IN THE DAY The parents.

ICE agents stopped by protesters after the shooting an observer in Minneapolis, according to witnesse. ICE deployed pepper spray and tear gas.

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Think about it another way, this operation required virtually everything in America’s advanced warfare toolkit, deployed over five months, to execute a 3 hour raid against a country whose military is held together with duct tape and revolutionary rhetoric

Here’s a basic American idea: the country is filled with people who are different from me, in all kinds of ways. And they all have the same rights, same as me.

Clip from below Reddit link:

Protest sign on Route 4 in Paramus, New Jersey reads “ICE murders woman in MN”

A review by Wired of outputs hosted on Grok's official website shows it's being used to create violent sexual images and videos, as well as content that includes apparent minors. www.wired.com/story/grok-is-g...

The killing in Minnesota and the lies that followed. www.pbump.net/o/the-killin...

Time for the world to #BoycottUSA

One way to tell if you’re “The Baddies” is if you’re the guy in helmet and body armor firing tear gas at high school students AT THEIR OWN SCHOOL. CBP and ICE are a terrible mix of aggro and poorly trained, supercharged by feeling totally unaccountable.

And DHS regularly lies about these shootings. Outright lies.
