Since ICE arrived in Minneapolis over a month ago, people have mobilized across the city to a stunning degree to track agents and monitor their activities. @wsj.com went there to understand what this looks like in practice. www.youtube.com/watch?si=A3t...

DHS claims the Portland shooting victims "weaponized" their car against agents, like in Minneapolis. Also claimed one is a "Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the Tren de Aragua prostitution ring," but didn't ID the person or provide further details. Story ongoing www.ms.now/news/shootin...

the victim, identified as 37 yo Renee Nicole Good, "was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known," her mother told the Star Tribune. She leaves behind a young child whose father died in 2023. “There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy's grandfather said www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

a video taken by the eyewitness, Emily Heller, shows agents denying a self-identified physician access to the victim and telling bystanders to “just relax.” “How can I relax? You just killed my fucking neighbor,” Heller responded. “How the fuck do you show up to work every day?”

Trump's rewriting of the narrative of J6 continues...this time w/ a new webpage on the official WH site that recasts him as a hero, blames Dems + Capitol police for the violence, & ignores law enforcement who were injured or died by su*cide following the events. New @ms.now 👇

A paltry show of strength for MAGA and the Proud Boys at today's march on the Capitol, starring a handful of J6 defendants and Enrique Tarrio: www.ms.now/news/jan-6-d...

Every day this administration delivers a new, mind-bending game of madlibs

For the second time in as many days, the vice president has declared some iteration of "it's ok to be white." www.ms.now/news/jd-vanc...

AmericaFest revealed a lot about the state of MAGA in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death. The movement is tearing itself apart in a silent war over Kirk's legacy. Go read this incredible (and incredibly bleak) feature by @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social right now: www.ms.now/news/america...

Given that Erika Kirk endorsed Vance for a 2028 presidential run at the beginning of AmericaFest, it's telling that Vance's first message to conservative youth is "It's OK to be white." www.ms.now/news/erika-k...

A team of @ms.now reporters + editors have been reviewing the Epstein files drop. Catch up here on what to know... which includes *a lot* of files that still haven't been released. ⤵️ w/ @clarissajanlim.bsky.social

Ben Shapiro and Tucker Carlson traded barbs onstage at AmericaFest last night, casting light on a widening schism in MAGA world. Alex Tabet is in Phoenix reporting on the drama for @ms.now: www.ms.now/news/ben-sha...

Turning Point USA's annual convention kicks off in Phoenix tomorrow, featuring a who's who of Trump world and far-right provocateurs. @andybcampbell.bsky.social has the preview of what to expect in the wake of Kirk's killing - for @ms.now:

It's gonna be another long day on social media www.ms.now/news/house-d...

An absolute must-read by @zeeshanaleem.bsky.social, but be prepared to cry, laugh, feel anger and pride by the end.

A prayer service made possible by Trump’s Christian nationalist agenda for the federal government. Sobering story by @juliannemcshane.bsky.social www.ms.now/news/the-lab...

“Marjorie is approaching members to get to nine who will oust the speaker,” one of the sources said. “And if we don’t get to work on codifying Trump’s agenda, anything can happen.” Another @ms.now scoop from Mychael Schnell: www.ms.now/news/marjori...

NEW — I put together a list of independent journalism subscriptions that would make great holiday gifts. From music to politics, astronomy to alcohol, tech to social justice, there’s something for [almost] everyone. Support indie media *and* surprise and delight your loved ones! My guide:

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job.

Wrote a whole chapter on Van Dyke in my Proud Boys book — described him as the physical manifestation of a human hand grenade. Should be an interesting campaign. thebarbedwire.com/2025/12/02/j...

Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc... ACIP member Dr. Cody Meissner: "'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

Who are you gonna trust? Your pediatrician or the non doctor supply chain researcher guy sitting on the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices RFK's bench is so shallow that he qualifies as an expert? (Also WE DO TRUST PLANES AND THE GOVT AGENCY THAT REGULATES THEM.)

BREAKING: The FBI has arrested a suspect in the Jan. 6 pipe bomb case. Story @ms.now: www.ms.now/news/fbi-arr...

how is this real

Wild scoop from @juliannemcshane.bsky.social here:

Other members are anti-vaxxers and Covid contrarians that came up with RFK Jr. The group has less power now bc experts, scientists and doctors don't take them seriously, but it can still do harm ... mostly for America's poorest children. The public meeting starts tomorrow. www.ms.now/news/rfk-jr-...

BIG NEWS! So excited to announce my new role as senior enterprise editor @ms.now, where I’ll work alongside @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social to build on our incredible coverage at the intersection of politics, extremism and culture. This is a dream team, I can’t wait to get started. Watch this space!

When a small community learned ICE wrongfully detained a beloved neighbor, they collectively pushed for his release. “When a lot of people get together, at least in my case, things are possible. Miracles happen,” Ruperto said. Read my latest for @huffpost.com here www.huffpost.com/entry/atlant...

You should absolutely read this piece from @taiylersimone.bsky.social. Especially before Thanksgiving. Put some perspective on your plate!

NEW: Federal prison workers are jumping ship & heading to ICE for better pay + bonuses. Already BOP lost >1400 people this year, reversing all of 2024’s staffing gains. It’s an unintended consequence of Trump’s push for mass deportations My 1st for @propublica.org www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

This is haunting and so full of love and heartbreak and the world is just so unfair. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

I think most legit news outlets have stopped using X as indicative of “what the right/left is saying,” but pols and pundits are still using it to support culture war grievance nonsense. Let’s hope these revelations make people a little more skeptical.

Some personal news: After nearly 14 years, I'm leaving my incredible team (and family!) @huffpost.com for a new opportunity. My goodbye email was 1500 words, there's not enough space here to express my gratitude to this newsroom and share everything we've done together. But what a ride.

one of these things is

Finally the Times had the guts to report it

NEW: I took a long look at the Proud Boys and found some of their most extreme chapters are sharing ICE recruiting materials on encrypted apps and even suggesting members have joined up. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/in-the-...

Judging by the responses to this DHS post, its goal seems to be to mock the physical appearance of a (presumably) American protester. I wonder if we can think of another political movement in history that was obsessed with the physical appearance of its citizens

Slow news day for the right-wing grievance machine

I will say that there is no better moment for all the journalists on the extremely niche crossover beat: "antifascism x sandwiches": @andybcampbell.bsky.social and @swordsjew.bsky.social its your time to shine

When I reached out to DHS for comment, they remarked "what a silly little story." The White House, in their response, said they wouldn't apologize for "posting banger memes"

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it
