Not just NYC. For all of New York State.

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.

There are 3 “bipartisan” ACA funding bills in the House. Yet it’s the “partisan” Jeffries/Dem bill that got far more support and will pass after a slice of Republicans acquiesced. Formula for legislating is changing. Moderates in both parties agreeing on a bill is no longer a panacea.

Raja Krishamoorthi (running for Illinois Senator) is on this list, for voting to congratulate ICE, last June. Also, from the Illinois Democratic Congressional delegation: Brad Schneider Eric Sorenson Nikki Budzinski Full list of the 75 Dems here: www.newsweek.com/75-democrats...

Ellison: "State authorities can investigate anyway. We don't need their authority. It's at least arguable that there's a violation of MN statues here. All of them depend on an investigation though. And the federal govt can't stop MN from doing it's own, but I would hope it wouldn't come to that."

Have eaten an entire bin of Trader Joe's triple gingersnaps in the past 24 hours. Now I go to see my dentist (short-term unrelated.) How is everyone else?

SCOOP: 404 Media has obtained material that explains how Tangles and Webloc, two surveillance systems ICE recently purchased, work. One can track phones without a warrant and follow their owners home or to their employer.

“A social media video shows a uniformed DHS officer kicking over a candle at a memorial set up for Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.” "The officer in the video told a protester who confronted him, ‘I don't give a f—.’” people.com/dhs-officer-...

Over the coming weeks and months, I'll be reporting on the human impact of the Trump administration's new childhood vaccine schedule. I need your help: If you're a parent or a medical professional who administers vaccines, please let me know through this form (no paywall) if you're seeing effects.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

A country that blows up foreign fishing boats for no reason is one that will shoot its own citizens for no reason.

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

Flatly wrong. No, it is not true that ICE only has jurisdiction over immigration issues and can’t arrest citizens. Immigration officers have authority to criminally arrest anyone for any “offense against the United States” (interfering with a federal officer would count) and any felony they witness.

I keep emphasizing this point because I am worried that some US citizens who are doing rapid response may have the false belief that it is illegal for ICE/Border Patrol to arrest them, and out of this incorrect belief respond in ways that make it *more likely* they get arrested or brutalized.

Growing up, my parents taught me and my sisters that white folks who stand up against white supremacy and domination are always, always, ALWAYS punished and killed alongside the targets of white supremacist domination... this is yet another facet of its violence, and how/why white supremacy endures.

it probably shouldn't make it worse that Renee Nicole Good was a pretty fine poet but it does

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.

Minnesota Public Radio says today marks the first and only shooting and homicide in Minneapolis in the year 2026

A lot of people are fighting over whether or not watching a video of someone's death makes you a better activist or person and I would like to gently suggest that what you do in response to the video's existence is what matters, whether you watched it or not.

The Minnesota woman who died today was apparently a mother. Someone close to the family and who has access to a lawyer should help set up GoFundMe. IMO, the money should go directly into a trust, which should go directly to the child when they are 18 years old, not an intermediary family member.

AOC: What we saw today was a horrific act of violence. What we have seen and are now seeing is that ICE has not just become an anti-immigrant force—it is becoming an anti-civilian, paramilitary organization. People are being taken off the streets for exercising their free speech rights.

The @kansascity.com reports that Renee Nicole Macklin Good lived in KCMO as recently as 2023 with her child. She had amended her name to share a surname with her partner. They moved to MN 8 months ago. She was shot in her car, still bearing Missouri plates. RIP www.kansascity.com/news/local/a...

When she is not writing, reading, or talking about writing, she has movie marathons and makes messy art with her daughter and two sons." Here is her winning poem: www.porkopolis.org/pig_poet/ren...

Really worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

The image of the blood-soaked airbag next to the glove compartment overflowing with stuffed animals is going to stick with me for a very long time.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

When the cop murdered Philando Castile his girlfriend and her 4 year old daughter were also in the car.

CNN graphics put the asterisk in the wrong place, it appears…

I want the media to understand just how close what happened today is to where George Floyd was murdered. 0.8 miles.

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

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...

"A doctor at the scene attempted to help the woman who was shot, but was kept away by federal agents. When an ambulance finally arrived, it was blocked from reaching her by law-enforcement vehicles, and paramedics had to reach her on foot. The woman has died." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The murdered woman's glove compartment is filled with stuffed animals.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

Federal agents blocked a man identifying himself as a doctor from reaching the woman killed by ICE in Minneapolis, video shared with HuffPost shows www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

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...
