WEIRD DUCK NEWS: It finally happened. After months of posting, tracking from Canada to Montana, to Northern California to a 2 miles up the street, getting up at 4:30am to get to the wetlands, and waiting, today at 8:29am, we got an in focus bufflehead in flight. Let's. Fucking. Go. 🪶

I beg y’all. Find other adjectives besides “insane”, “psychotic”, and “crazy” to describe evil times and evil people. Mental illness is a whole host of disabilities that people manage and live with their entire lives. No need to casually equate it with evil & shocking. They are not the same thing.

No law enforcement agency, and especially not DHS, is a neutral relayer of facts. They are intensely political agencies. In fact, that “just the facts” line? From Dragnet? Know who was a major sponsor of and advisor to, Dragnet? The LAPD. Bc even back then, they saw the marketing value.

I posted a version this moments after DHS's initial statement was issued this afternoon, but John adds a lot of nuance (and knowledge) to it in this short thread —>

Being disabled means I can't control when I'm able to do things but that doesn't stop me. If I can stand and walk in the morning or night?...I STILL FXCKXNG WORK ♿🏋🏿‍♂️❤️🖤💚💪🏿

Live: Thousands gather to memorialize woman killed by ICE agent in Minneapolis "The mother of the woman who was killed identified her as Renee Nicole Good, 37, a Minneapolis resident."

This is the only correct position, and the inevitable response from knee-jerk centrist reactionaries of "it won't work" is not a valid objection. Every member of Congress has a duty to say that what Noem has been doing is not acceptable.

600+ people still showed up for Legal Observers training in Minneapolis tonight. In addition to those currently on patrol. This minute. While the vigil is happening in South Mpls.

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Today is the first day of the 2026 NH legislative session and we’re ready to fight for: 🏳️‍⚧️ Transgender rights ✊ Racial justice 🗣 Free speech 🗳 Voting rights ⚖️ Justice reform 🗽 Immigrants’ rights 🎒 Students’ rights And so much more. Will you join us? https://bit.ly/3Ylgh6r

This will sound like a joke, but it's not. When TWO "Minnesota Nice" politicians drop the F-bomb in front of live cameras, we're at Defcon 1.

This is insane. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

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.

Trump pulls US out of 66 international bodies, including key UN climate treaty

I love that politicians are cursing in public. People who curse are smart. edition.cnn.com/2021/01/26/h... - it particularly makes me happy when the decorum people get very upset about this.

Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show. FP: That’s not true AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.

the face she makes as she walks away before giving him a chance to answer is the energy I wish every Democrat would give to Fox News. "got anything to say? no? didn't think so. please choke. bye."

ICE can't seem to stop shooting people.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

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.

I have now seen two separate AI reconstruction pictures of Renee Good’s murderer and they are different, which tells you that they’re not good and you should stop sharing them.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

In therapy this week we talked about how one of my reasons for *getting* married (15 yrs ago) was because I wanted my now-partner to be the one making any medical decisions if I was incapacitated, which I think people find weird and unromantic, but as a disabled person is INCREDIBLY important to me

I refuse to stay silent while Secretary Noem breaks the rule of law and terrorizes our communities. I am introducing Articles of Impeachment against her for violating the public trust, obstructing Congress, and self-dealing. Read my full statement: robinkelly.house.gov/media-center...

"I'm calling to ask that Rep ____ sign on to Rep Robin Kelly's articles of impeachment against Secretary Noem. The DHS killing in Minneapolis today comes after other violence by agents under her command, and it needs to stop." I left a voicemail with my Rep a few minutes ago. You?

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

You deserve to know what the plan, or lack thereof, is in Venezuela.   It’s time for the Trump administration to stop hiding behind classified briefings and answer your questions directly.

Please review my classified briefing comments on the Venezuela bombing.

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

Happening now: a vigil is getting underway in Chicago's Winnemac Park in honor of Renee Nicole Good, killed in Minneapolis today, and others who have been killed by federal immigration agents. A couple dozen people in attendance so far, though more are trickling in.

Minneapolis.

AOC: What we saw today was a criminal murder a woman while she was trying to flee for her life. What we saw today was a manifestation of every American’s worst nightmare: their government turning into a tyranny.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

We condemn ICE's killing of a Minneapolis woman today and call on federal agents to withdraw from Minnesota immediately. This tragedy is further proof that ICE is out of control, endangering our communities, and must end its lawless operations before anyone else is brutally hurt or killed.

BBC is reporting that the same ICE officer who murdered Renee Good was involved in another violent incident in June.

NEW article by me! We can now visualize pathogens down to atoms; design vaccines in weeks; manufacture them in microbial factories; engineer them more precise than ever before. We're living through a golden age of vaccine development, but only if we continue to invest in them.

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.
