You don’t have to believe all the MAGA agitprop to demand answers on what went wrong here—and why you don’t have to share Trump’s prejudices to insist on changes that will prevent such failures in the future.

Feds admit their first account of ICE shooting in suburban Baltimore misstated the role of a second injured man; investigation of incident by Anne Arundel County police had drawn attention to the error.

Protesters gather in Albany, NY yesterday. The murder of Renee Nicole Good by DH"SS" agent Johnathan Ross is horrific proof that we need to take ice off our streets.

Jonathan Ross Is The Focus Of Fury And Outrage, But Also Admiration For His Undeniable Rizz. Olivia Nuzzi Explains.

Enjoyed seeing this wholesome guy just noping all of Fox's leading questions. It was like Q:Don't you thinks she was wrong? A: No obviously ICE was wrong Q: What about the people who shouldn't be here? A: Obviously they should be here Q: Anything el-- A: I have a bell!

I’ve done focus groups where we changed the mock jury’s perception of an altercation just by presenting two exhibits in a different order. Kid got beat up at a rec center. Suffered a TBI when he got picked up and thrown to the ground. Night 1, we showed the assault first, and then the films of…

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

Anyone who paid for a computer to look like that has Googled “where do I measure penis length from” at least once

Great piece by my Cato colleague. “Since July, immigration agents have shot at least six people behind the wheel of a vehicle. The same playbook is used each time: the agent says they “feared for their life” as a vehicle was “weaponized” against them. Juries should decide, but we tie their hands.

Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."

@kenwhite.bsky.social Is this a good idea for a client to do?

In all seriousness, when Daniel Perry shot and killed Garret Foster in Austin in 2020, we figured out who Perry was and we were watching his social media posts get deleted in real time WHILE he was allegedly in APD's custody. Fortunately we archived them in the Wayback Machine before he did it.

So @hcrichardson.bsky.social has a post reviewing WWII War Department pamphlets teaching troops about how to spot and resist fascism. They seem awfully relevant. Give it a read, but mind Heather doesn’t steal your wife. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/january-9-...

"If I fall delete my browser history," but for Nazis. Wonder what Ross' browser history shows about protestors and immigrants and ..groups

Rep. Luna, who once accused Twitter of "censorship" because no one on her staff explained what Jira is to her, is now asking the DOJ to prosecute a journalist for sharing a link to a university bio page on X (X immediately complied and locked the journalist's account until he deleted the link).

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

A gentle reminder in your grief that Renee Good was out there to protect her Black and brown neighbors from ethnic cleansing. That is still the mission. The focus should remain on slowing down the ethnic cleansing campaign and on protecting Black and brown families and communities from destruction.

They really killed that woman for disagreeing with them.

Not socialist when a facist does it i guess?

Not sure if “calling for” means “I will ask my droogs in Congress” or “I will issue a crayoned executive order” or “do it or I will send ICE agents to your daughter’s sweet 16”

Keith Ellison: "They're simply trying to justify her killing. They're trying to convince the public through their rhetoric that it's okay that she's dead. And that is unacceptable and it's untrue. It's also cruel and completely unnecessary. This is a mother of three. This is someone's wife ... "

(1/X) I know I’m not the first person to say this but I expect CBS News under Bari Weiss to be worse than Fox News in many ways. For one thing, as thin as the wall between opinion, and the news is on Fox, that wall on CBS will be nonexistent

A new instant block for me is “I am very wrong, my wrongness is confident and unshakable, it reflects a complete lack of effort to investigate, and I demand that you prove my aggressive claims wrong.”

Heritage Foundation say they are against pornography and want to end it but you just know they’re rubbing one out to those videos.

Protesters making as much noise as possible in front of the Hilton Canopy where ICE agents are staying in Minneapolis.

Also: you CANNOT fucking pull a gun on someone while filming on your fucking cell phone. If as a LEO your judgment is the situation has reached the point where deadly force may be warranted & you need your gun out, not having your full attention on it is at BEST depraved indifference to human life

Democrats should demand the dismantling of ICE, congressional hearings into its operations and prosecution of its worst offenders, but at the VERY least they must refuse to spend our tax money to fund these masked goons who are terrorizing our communities.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

When Vance insists, contra the videos, that Good threatened the ICE agent and "had it coming", what he means is that he, like Ross, feels threatened by any woman who has the audacity to use her voice in the public sphere. This deeply misogynist worldview is core to MAGA.

Just going to note that while I get angry messages from Elon fans on a pretty regular basis, they never comment on how I look. The level of misogyny facing women reporters is insane.

Now I can look forward to seeing Washington National Opera again soon www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/0...

When @thefireorg.bsky.social posts on Facebook about cases supporting free speech on views that could be perceived as remotely to the Left, their commentariat explodes in ignorance and rage. I wish to offer FIRE my extremely sincere and heartfelt condolences for this inexplicable turn of events.

Increasingly Americans Are Questioning Legacy Media. If @minakimes.bsky.social Doesn‘t Like It When Unarmed Mothers Are Shot Dead And Called Fucking Bitches, How Do We Know She’s Giving The Jaguars A Fair Shake?

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

Fox News claims to be airing the "entire video" -- but they're cutting off before the officer says, "fucking bitch."

Kinda tells you our country has always been inherently authoritarian and was waiting for an initiator. Trump is that.

SHOCK CELL PHONE VIDEO: Renee Good's final words to her murderer: “That’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you.” ICE agent Jonathan Ross after shooting and killing her seconds later: “Fuckin’ bitch.” Via Alpha News

I've offered to Zoom with Aaron's class anytime he wants, and that offer goes for any other teacher or professor whose administration has banned WHITE FLIGHT from their classroom.

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

Look, people, let’s stop being so judgmental about folks who stay on Twitter/X. There are fewer Nazis here, sure, but if a woman gets murdered by an ICE agent and you want to see her corpse in a bathing suit, where are you on Bluesky? Out of luck, that’s where.

The shooter calls her a "fucking bitch" right after shooting her three times. He shot because he was pissed off, not because he reasonably believed he was in danger. Also, he is filming while handling his weapon at the same time?!? Was he even looking at where he was shooting?

This week on Serious Trouble: The Maduro prosecution, how Jonathan Ross could be prosecuted for shooting Renee Good, Trump loses a National Guard dispute, Mark Kelly gets threatened with demotion, a judge has done with Lindsay Halligan posing as US Attorney. www.serioustrouble.show/p/cartel-de-...

Here’s a comment for the people who are upset that MN hasn’t charged Jonathan Ross already: If you just Leeeroy Jenkins this shit you will lose and you will empower fascism and murder. It is indescribably hard to prosecute cops for murder. It is even hard when the murder is ON VIDEO. /1

In case you missed it last night: No, it is definitively not defamation to call Jonathan Ross a murderer, and people who say it is are liars or ignorant or both.

@prisonculture.bsky.social has made an amazing list she keeps available here. And “Blueprint for Revolution“ by Srđa Popović. He was one of the leaders involved in overthrowing Milosevic. The book is full of stories of effective actions taken against other regimes. It’s good for mindsetting.

In a tripartite post, hete is the perfect example of when to use the (eponymous) Popehat Rule for Social Media. It states: "If you look at someone and see no reasonable probability you'll ever have a positive or instructive interaction with them, block now and move on."

Such a helpful podcast from the great @lawfaremedia.org team — @annabower.bsky.social, @ericcolumbus.bsky.social, and @michael-feinberg.bsky.social — on the Minneapolis shooting and the legal issues surrounding state prosecutions of federal officers.
