In what turned out to be her very last moments, Renee Good smiles at ICE and says "I'm not mad at you" then the ICE agent kills her. And there's a dog in the car. omg this is so heartbreaking and infuriating all at once.

Renee Good's final words: "its ok dude, I'm not mad at you" ICE thug's first words after killing her: "fucking bitch" What an encapsulation of the Trump movement's so-called embrace of "masculinity" and the boys it attracts. Violent, savage, weakness. Murderous rage and insecurity towards women.

I don't pity them, though. Courage and curiosity are a choice. They could choose to be truly courageous people like the everyday citizens fighting ICE. Instead, they piss their pants, claim they're "victims" of suburban wine moms and daycare workers, and insist we call them badasses for it.

“We must find a way to live with the Nazis” is not the lesson from 1930s Germany that we were supposed to take away

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

Noem: "What happened was our officers were out trying to get a car stuck out of the snow when they were surrounded and assaulted and blocked in by protesters ... this was an act of domestic terrorism" (It was 40 degrees in Minneapolis yesterday and snow was melting ... )

It appears ICE murdered someone in cold blood today and their plan is — per usual — to create a fog of lies so the killer does not face justice. We simply can't let that happen. The shooter has to be arrested and so does Bovino. They can't just kill people on the street.

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...

The text faded to the paywall at the same rate as my eyes would have glazed over anyway

Got paid AND his job back, lmao. Keep fighting these dweebs

We need to stop talking about Trump invading Greenland and start talking about Trump invading Denmark because the latter drives home the absolute insanity of the plan to the average person.

Jen Sorensen nails the hypocrisy and racism of the "European culture" argument.

We have to invade Greenland so it’s in our sphere of influence! - But it’s part of Denmark, a NATO country. And we are too. So it’s in our sphere of influence already. No, Denmark is angry at us, we can’t count on them. - Why are they angry? Because we’re threatening to invade Greenland.

It's January 5, so what's the verdict on Mayor Mamdani's first 100 days? We spoke to this group of Republicans to find out.

The picture that's emerging is that Trump is fine with a pro-Maduro despot as long as it's one that he can do business with. www.npr.org/2026/01/04/g...

Stop saying that all Schumer and Jeffries ever do is write strongly worded letters. Bullshit. They're not strongly worded at all.

Saying or strongly implying that Trump was the anti-war and the youthful energy and vitality candidate in 2024 was basically the quickest way you could earn a quick paycheck from the Atlantic

Look on my almost but not quite strongly-worded letter ye mighty, and despair!

guys i'm not gonna lie but it will be so absurdly funny if the outcome of this is that the exact same regime, now lacking only the guy in charge, now has american support against the opposition

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

So Twiter has long been a Nazi haven and stroker of Elon's ego, but now it also generates child porn if you ask it! So I think the best time to leave Twitter was years ago, and the second best time is now. Here's what I wrote when I left in 2023: badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/goodbye-tw...

"51% of the vote in one election does not empower you to destroy a city or culture or society" -- Mark Levin after Mamdani won 50.8% of the popular vote "We have rejected, completely, utterly, undeniably, the Democrat Party" -- Mark Levin after Trump won 49.8% of the popular vote

No President before me was forced to submit to repeated cognitive evaluations and that’s because all the former Presidents and their doctors were woke .

Just flat-out declaring that everything Adams did as mayor after the indictment—in the final fifteen months and five days of his term of office—was presumptively corrupt, and undoing everything that's in his immediate power to undo with a single stroke of the pen. This is the way.

Mamdani took over the @NYCMayor account on Twitter but old Eric Adams tweets are still active. That means Mamdani's name and face shows up for old tweets he didn't send. You're probably going to see a lot of screenshots like this where Mamdani appears to praise Netanyahu, but they aren't by Mamdani

The scary but obvious explanation for this is that the powers that be who control our news media disagree with Jeremiah Wright and they agree with Curtis Yarvin

This guy? www.thecrimson.com/article/1991...

the very very simple answer that even a PolProf could understand is "they aggressively and deliberately antagonized the people who want to like them, while ridiculously and hopelessly pursuing the people who hate them"

One of the reasons he's so disliked, imo, is the constant wide eyed, wounded innocence thing where they have no idea why being such gleefully sadistic shites wouldn't go down well with people.

Under-appreciated fact. The Wall Street Journal news division (opinion side is still comically rabid right) this year took Trump head on often, not both-sidesing everything like the NYT did. And it's owned by RW billionaires. If they bought the NYT, it would become *less* pro-Trump than it is.

Counterpoint (to her): the first performance after his name gets ripped down will be the largest in Center history. SRO with thousands outside trying to get any extra tickets. People standing at attention in their living rooms to watch it on tv.

a lot of dumb dumbs at the Atlantic, but man, Caitlin Flanagan is on another level

Was Eric Adams ready for the job? Absolutely not. Were there multiple pieces asking that question leading up to Jan 1, 2022? Also no.

People don’t love all these giant data centers being built, so my wife and I are offering an alternative: a good ol’ fashioned mom-and-pop data store. Small, cozy, a place where we know you by name and offer you a donut and coffee while you check the data of your financial crimes.

There is no murderous fascist of the past 100 years that The New York Times has not exalted

I checking the filing---this is Matt's lawyer--d'oh! www.abajournal.com/news/article...

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Someone compared her to a soviet political commissar and the reason that comparison falls short is that a political commissar wouldn't insist on pretending that all their changes were the result of non political good faith disagreement.

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

really telling that bari weiss after all this time masquerading as a centrist immediately signs up to be political commissar for rabidly antisemitic fascists. also telling that the times' management intentionally made her invulnerable, because they share her beliefs.

CBS destroying a brand they built up over the course of like 100 years for one criminal idiot is a pretty funny bit

Trump has a gilt complex

The Supreme Court rejected the federal government’s request to deploy the National Guard in Illinois. It’s time to let our troops go home to celebrate the holidays with their families — and stay home.
