Lawyers for the family of #reneegood sent a letter to #federal officials requesting that officials preserve #evidence related to her killing by an #ice agent last week. The letter said that the family anticipates “bringing legal action against the United States of America.” Lawyers for the Good […]

NEW: It's not just Jonathan Ross—or even the Trump administration. Over the past decade, US immigration agents have shot and killed at least 25 people. Not a single one appears to have faced criminal charges. @lilahassan.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/why-ic...

Don't count on the clever-MAGA operatives or their MSM fondlers: 'For months, major media outlets have run story after story about the alleged crack-up of Trump’s MAGA base, sourced to a specific set of elite right-wing influencers. These accounts have been widely shared and celebrated by […]

Danish and Greenland ministers just left the White House. It did not go well. I have a long discussion here of Trump's attempt to get Greenland and why it could lead to World War III. (Gifted.) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

“Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Canada are sending troops to Greenland amid continued threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to annex the territory, multiple outlets reported.” Good.

France is sending troops to Greenland for military exercises, Operation Arctic Endurance. You could read this as France protecting Greenland from the US and/or as France trying to assuage Trump’s larger concerns by demonstrating what they would do if Greenland were threatened by Russia or China.

If the ICE officer who illegally shot a woman faces no repercussions that will now be precedent. All ICE officers and by extension federal law enforcement officers will have effective authority to kill anyone they see fit. You're protests are about to turn bloody America.
