Shocking that someone would want to flee from being potentially disappeared and sent to a torture gulag by authoritarian good squads.

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

He was illegally blocking/detaining her by standing in front. He created the deadly scenario. What's going on with an arrest warrant? Is ICE free to kill citizens?

“No evidence” There’s plenty of evidence.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "The reality is firing a handgun at someone driving a car is not particularly effective at stopping the vehicle"

You will be executed if you “get in the way” of ICE. This is the Republican Party. bsky.app/profile/atru...

protester in Mpls to CNN: "Trump is a Russian asset and he's ripping our country apart. These people in Minnesota -- people with brown skin and brown eyes -- they're hard-working people trying to make a living for their families." CNN: "There is no evidence that Trump is a Russian asset"

Absolutely! As I commented yesterday, he thrives on chaos which will continue right up to the midterms. He is a desperate man in deep sh*t with both foreign & domestic problems that he created. There are no lengths to which he will not go to protect himself.

The Minneapolis Sheriff's Office of Hennepin County is investigating the shooting of Renee Nicole Good. Please report the identity of the shooter to (952)258-5321 #ReneeNicoleGood

Last night, at the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the frigid dark to protest her killing. In the face of this administration’s lawless violence, solidarity is the answer. They want to mold America to their cruelty. We refuse.

"You almost need to sue just to make your voice heard." Our deep dive into the state of the legal fight over Trump's signature trade policy, with SCOTUS poised to rule on the fate of his contested tariffs as early as Friday. With Jeannette Neumann + Laura Curtis: tinyurl.com/2yms7p24

If SCOTUS finds Trump's contested tariffs unlawful, it's likely to kick off a whole new round of wrangling over who gets refunds and how that will work -- the flurry of recent lawsuits represent a small fraction of the total # of importers affected www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

NEW: The business world largely stayed out of the Trump tariff fight -- incl. some fearing "blowback" for opposing the administration. But with a SCOTUS decision looming, the floodgates have opened, with 1,000+ companies so far suing to make sure they get refunds if Trump loses tinyurl.com/2yms7p24

Swalwell: "Here's what we can do, bc we're not helpless. We can strip them of their immunity. I'm working on doing that in Congress. We can make sure we don't fund masks and them being unidentified. We also can make sur local prosecutors and attorneys general use their law enforcement authorities."

This right here! 👇

“We will invade your city without permission, we will taunt you, we will kidnap and harass citizens, we will smash our way into schools and shoot tear gas at students, and if you stop to film us and we don’t like it, we will shoot you three times in the face.” Tyranny

My god, the smugness level here.

If these guys weren't as stupid as they are evil they'd understand the radicalizing effect of their rhetoric and behavior on regular people. You're going to have suburban moms quoting Lenin at this rate

Sen. Lankford blatantly lies about what the video of Renee Good's killing shows: "A classic law enforcement moment -- they have to fire their weapon and then when you see her car crash, law enforcement is running to her to provide aid. They're never looking to be able to take a life of individuals."

"The administration, Trump, Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin, could have spun a much more plausible story here than they did. But the thing is, this administration treats brazen lying as an assertion of power in itself." trib.al/PADCBvV

“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.”

“Trump did not give a precise time range for how long the United States would remain Venezuela’s political overlord. Would it be three months? Six months? A year? Longer? ‘I would say much longer,’ the president replied.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

Job openings, pace of hiring decline as US labor market cools further Employers "aren't at all confident that hiring will lead to profit," says @aaronsojourner.org "They're reluctant to commit to new payroll expenses, so they've reduced job openings over the year." www.spglobal.com/market-intel...

NASA’s science missions have ennobled American culture and advanced American science. Donald Trump has tried to end that era of ambition, Ross Andersen reports:

I had to shut off the news last night. It is horrific. Trump & Noem blatantly lying before a thorough investigation has even begun, is beyond the pale. A woman trying to drive away is domestic terrorism but Jan. 6 isn't. GTFO with that nonsense.

Protection racket foreign policy

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

“'The guy, I’m telling him like, "Please step off the school grounds," and this dude comes up and bumps into me and then tells me that I pushed him, and he knocked me down,' an official at Roosevelt High School said. 'They don’t care. They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.'"

“Homicide.”

Setting aside all of the other questions - for example, whether any of this is remotely constitutional - one thing is already clear: it’s unlikely to be a good deal for U.S. taxpayers or U.S. companies. The latest edition of Receipts from @crampell.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/3N6ML1T

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood. Scum.

Wow

It’s hard to understand how anyone would ever think it is helpful, or safe, to have masked men carrying guns show up AT A SCHOOL
