Tonight the sky hums a little softer; a rhythm guitar stilled, yet every note Bob Weir ever coaxed from 6 strings rides the wind like a hymn. From the first spark with Jerry Garcia, to Truckin’ as heartbeat and Sugar Magnolia as sunrise, he taught us to hear the music in the spaces between. RIP 🥀

Denmark has reminded its troops they are legally required to return fire immediately if the U.S. attempts a military takeover of Greenland.

An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire. One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched. The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

I wrote up my analysis of what Ross's movements and actions reveal about whether or not he had a "reasonable belief that he was in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury" (the legal standard). I list 7 crucial moments that suggest he did not. asharangappa.substack.com/p/friday-rou...

Her last "threatening" words to the ICE agent were, with a smile, "I'm not mad at you." His last words to her, after he shot her in cold blood, were "Fucking bitch." Perhaps, perpetually lying JD Vance is as big a sociopath as Jonathan Ross.

In light of what happened to Renee Good, I thought it important to reiterate my grandmother's advice.

Oh, no. Now we’ve lost Bobby. 💔 Carry on out there, man. Thanks for so much. m.youtube.com/watch?v=DL-l...

America is not safe for anyone. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/o...

The FBI documented this, and while I think they’ve taken down the report on their site, the Internet doesn’t forget. For your consideration, 2006’s FBI report “White Supremacist Infiltration of Law Enforcement.”

So ICE and the White House have been scrambling to pump out meme videos of clashes with protesters and "epic takedowns" and then an ICE agent recording video with his phone shoots a woman dead www.washingtonpost.com/technology/i...

And the coverage if anything is getting worse. WaPo says “details of the shooting… are in dispute.” NYT continues to publish Trump’s lies without debunking them. No wonder people don’t trust their political coverage.

This needs to be said more often. They don’t “need more training.” They need to be shut down.

These 10 companies stand to rake in $1 billion by 2027 by helping ICE track down and round up immigrants. Cashing in on cruelty.

These two will go down in history next to the other nameless politicians in Weimar Germany and other proto-fascist governments who were too afraid to stand up when it came down to it. The best thing they can do is let someone lead who isn’t a spineless coward like them. truthout.org/articles/sch...

Many ICE officers appear to be white supremacists who were unable to obtain jobs in other branches of law-enforcement. Some liberal critics say that’s a bad thing.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

This is the second time in three months a DHS agent called a US citizen a "bitch" as he shot her. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

MN cops have made their choice:

Good Night. (H/T: Red)

The Department of Homeland Security and the officials who lead it cannot be trusted to provide good-faith, accurate information about what they are doing and any claims they make should be considered in that context. www.ms.now/opinion/kris...

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

Rep. Wesley Hunt (TX-R): "The bottom line is this: when a federal officer gives you instructions, you abide by them and then you get to keep you life" The Right went from Don't Tread on Me to Comply or Die in 12 months.

January 6 was the dress rehearsal. ICE is the touring production.

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good was never in front of her car when he fired the three shots. I hope this helps Kash Patel and the FBI in their thorough investigation.

Renee Good’s family should file a $1 trillion defamation lawsuit against Trump, Vance, and Noem.

Martin Luther King and Anne Frank would both have turned 97 this year.

After meeting with President Trump, alongside other oil company executives, the CEO of Exxon Mobil says Venezuela today is “uninvestable.”

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.

As a reminder, the G.O.A.T. House Rep Lauren Underwood, whose bill for a three-year extension of the ACA Tax Credits just passed the House, is Co-Chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) candidate recruitment committee.

So Biden or Obama could have just cut off all federal funding to red states and the press would have just been stenographers about it?

Hey, elite media, future story idea: “What will martial law do for egg prices?”

Wow! And Faux news reporting it! #Pinks www.foxnews.com/politics/fed...

For Renee Nicole Good Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...?

"...what’s remarkable about the [administration's] immediate responses is that they include no statements of regret or sympathy. Hours after a federal agent shot and killed a young mother, the government couldn’t even be bothered to extend its condolences."

I wrote about how Trump treats the news the way he treats election results: complete when he decides they’re complete and fraudulent if the completed version is inconvenient. www.pbump.net/o/trumpism-d...

LT Gov. Flanagan: She had stuffed animals in the car for her child, for her six year old child

Philadelphia in candlelight. A city paused. Love showed up for Renee Nicole Good.

ICE shoots three people in two days, and you want to talk about this being an “incantation”
