Renee was recently remarried to a woman but her prior husband passed away in 2023. ICE just orphaned a 6 year old child. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

A few hundred are gathered at Foley right now. More steadily arriving.

Under the Department of Homeland Security Guidelines a DHS ICE officer can only use deadly force if there is a "reasonable belief" of "imminent threat of death or serious bodily injury to the officer or to another person." www.dhs.gov/sites/defaul...

They know they’re in trouble

"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...

Her name was Renee Nicole Good. www.startribune.com/news-politics

it was always gonna take all of us

how *do* we sleep while our beds are burning? #musictherapy

Call me crazy, but if I’m lame duck @governorwalz.mn.gov at this point, I’m going to the mattresses to make sure this dude faces trial in a Minnesota courtroom. It’s not only the right thing to do, he has absolutely nothing to lose.

A US citizen was shot and killed by ICE in Minneapolis today. There's no sugarcoating this; the President's security theater just cost someone their life.

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

I mean…

The great @george-lakoff.com told us how to process Trump's obvious lies almost a decade ago. And the press, like a lot of us, refuses to catch up.

Arya Cafe in Minneapolis has them for free, along with a info booklet on how to use them efficiently for each situation, as you use it differently when theyre spotted vs when someone is being detained, etc. I am not sure who else but there are definitely more through the Twin Cities.

Texas A&M has decided that Plato is woke & thus has forbidden a philosophy professor from teaching Plato's works. Not a joke. Not satire. This is the world the anti-woke "free speech warriors" have bequeathed us. dailynous.com/2026/01/06/t...

Jan 7 poll of 2,223 U.S. adults (+/-2.4 points) % who would support | oppose the U.S. using military force to take control of Greenland U.S. adults 8% | 73% Democrats 4% | 87% Independents 6% | 73% Republicans 15% | 60% today.yougov.com/topics/trave...

"Did you know that the United States bought the US Virgin Islands from Denmark in 1917 for $25 million? Under that agreement (called the Treaty of Danish West Indies), the US is required to recognize Greenland as Danish territory. Just a random fact with no correlation to recent events.."

can't stress this enough. Bluesky is both 1. surveilled and 2. unerasable. Do not fedpost on this platform. Keep it to yourself, or if you _must_, then go to an encrypted Signal chat.

Good, direct, unequivocal messaging here. Also: to Trumpists, lying is a patriotic sacrament. Trumpists lie because they believe, as a tenet of Trumpism, that the people they hate deserve to be lied to and that it’s for the best for the few people they don’t hate today.

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS: SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.

Hello this is your lawyer speaking -- every day is Shut The Fuck Up Friday!

No one *licensed* anyone to make CSAM of their kids, and the tech company that provides both the production technology and the distribution system should be prosecuted out of existence.

"I urge any who are involved in the administration of the current immigration enforcement regime at any level to seek the counsel of their clergy, given my urgent pastoral concern for the moral and spiritual injury that their participation is causing them." - Bp. Rob Price of Dallas, 1/1/2026

"...an informed Christian conscience must recoil at the means by which federal officers are currently enforcing the policies and orders of the executive branch, and the conditions under which most detainees are being held..."

As the nation’s foremost expert on Project 2025, I make sure to check this tracker daily: project2025.observer/en The Christian White Nationalist gov’t overhaul is 51% implemented. And since most of you won’t explore the site, I’ve put together an exploratory clip to show the damage already done:

I don't care if she didn't follow directions; I don't care if she was disrespectful; I don't care if she was noncompliant; I don't care if she spit in his face, called him ugly, and smacked his mom - "immediate execution by the state" was not warranted; jfc, this isn't complicated.

Only about one-quarter of U.S. police officers have EVER fired their weapons while on duty. The media needs to ask real cops what they think about how #ICE is brandishing, pointing and using firearms across our country. #Minneapolis

Were I on the Hill, I would not stop until I had Noem's scalp.

Trump trying to conquer a foreign country. ICE killing someone and lying about it. We're not even a year into this Trump term and we're already here.

These people are disgusting beyond belief.

Thank goodness for videos for helping us hold fascists to account.

This is hugely important work being done by the Trace

the fascist mouthpieces have a massive resource advantage. this is a way to chip away at that advantage: give valuable stuff to real journalists at real news outlets (and real independent journalists.)

my heart is just completely broken for this woman, killed trying to protect her community and her friends, and for all the people of Minneapolis, who always seems to unfairly caught in the crosshairs of our national malaise

preserving the exchange because it’s beautifully done, @danielsuitor.com 🤌

They will murder unarmed citizens and then accuse them of wrongdoing. Zero sense of accountability or shame.

keep thinking of a vocally anti-woke reporter who insisted that the term "environmental racism" was nonsense

Labelling domestic political opponents as "terrorists."

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

Gov Walz vows justice

This, of all things, is the lead NYT opinion piece right now, on the same day that ICE killed a US citizen in the same state, without a trace of embarrassment or self-awareness.

A meeting I was going attend tonight has been postponed so that people can attend protests, vigils, and grief spaces in response to ICE killing a community observer in Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Chicago is with you. ❤️

the current state of this country makes me fucking ill, man

jesus fucking christ

All because immigrants… exist? In a country that has depended heavily on immigrants for the last approximately ALL THE FUCKING YEARS?

"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures... For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:"

Counting on Keith Ellison @ag.state.mn.us to charge these ICE officers with murder in the next 24 hrs.

A 23 year old larping as a journalist made a misleading and inaccurate YouTube video that the administration full of chronically online shitposters used to justify the “largest immigration operation ever” and now someone is dead
