Most Americans don't want Greenland. They want the Epstein files.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting. Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

they gutted our healthcare and gave trillions to the richest Americans to fund racist brutal thugs with guns to shoot a mother in the face and call her a bitch afterwards. and they are proud of that. they said she had it coming. they think we all have it coming because we didn't vote for Trump.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days. End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

The message from the White House this morning is that, once again, it falls on ordinary American citizens to remain calm and professional when dealing with the heavily armed agents of the government because they are very emotional and might fly off into a murderous rage at the slightest insult.

If a federal agent tries to assault you, just scream "JOE BIDEN STOLE THE 2020 ELECTION" It's apparently like an Uno Reverse card. Now *you* get to assault the cops without any penalty. Beat them with a flagpole, use mace or bear spray on them, whatever. I'm sure the lawyers here will back me up.

“The approach of our government right now is to literally implement the death penalty for minor traffic offenses on the spot, and that is extremely troubling, and it’s going to keep happening,” Parente said.

We won’t be silent when our friends are gunned down

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers. the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

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.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal warns ICE: "No law enforcement professional wears a mask... Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime... You getting arrested". "Fake wannabe law enforcement... The criminal in the WH will not be able to keep you from going to jail".

Real question: not if this particular thug should have shot that particular innocent victim at that particular point in time (no, of course not) Real question: how/why Trump commands 10k's of masked paramilitary whose only goal is to terrorize Democrats & minorities, crushing life, economy, joy, US

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car. He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times. The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”. They hate women & it shows.

THIS WEEKEND: More than 1,000 marches and vigils are taking place nationwide to honor Renee Nicole Good, demand accountability for ICE’s killing of Renee, and make visible the human cost of ICE’s terror. Please join us: mobilize.us?tag_ids=2913...

How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here

He shot her in the head, then called her a “fucking bitch.” That isn’t self defense, it’s an angry execution.

What ICE is doing to Minneapolis right now is a both a proof of concept of what mass deportation will look like and a preview of what it will be capable of doing to every major blue city at the same time by the time its budget has nearly quadrupled in 3 yrs www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

"A broad national coalition... is calling for a coordinated ICE Out For Good Weekend of Action on Saturday, January 10, and Sunday, January 11. In less than 24 hours after the announcement, there are already 1000 events anticipated nationwide." Find a local event here: www.mobilize.us?tag_ids=29132

I C.E. is not by any standard a legitimate agency. However It is very clear exactly what they are.

the government is telling you not even unarmed nice white lady moms surrounded by stuffed animals are off limits, and I’m sorry but: that is an extremely terrifying.

There have been nine ICE shootings. There will be more. I think it may be time to consider these actions in the historical context of the Central American death squads supported by previous iterations of U.S. imperialism. And ICE's hostile incursion into "blue" cities as a form of imperialism, too.

"ICE has waged a recruitment drive drenched in war metaphors and martial imagery. The type of person sought...is someone with a fervor for guns and an eagerness to apply violence." Good work by @aselrod.bsky.social putting shooting in context of MAGA's violent ethos: www.ms.now/opinion/ice-...

Dems: get up out of your fucking defensive crouch and fight back, it still makes a difference in the coverage as I was saying earlier today, if all you can really do is yell, the quality of the yelling has to be better it was today, and it’s helped keep calling these people what they are

Hell yeah. If you have a Dem rep or senator who isn’t saying this, ask them why not. Dems are in the minority but Repubs will need Dem votes for a new funding bill at the end of the month. Schumer won’t lead, but he will follow with sufficient pressure from his caucus.

Anyone who didn't see this coming is just willingly stupid. Trump was always clear he wanted to go invade places and steal their oil, and whatever else happened, who gives a crap. This wasn't about drugs, or democracy. He's fine with repressive regimes if they pay up www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/w...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

The Trump administration is putting together a private army of vicious thugs, and purging the real military of officers and service members who will refuse illegal orders. This isn’t the end of anything yet. 2/3

I'd love news organizations to get a comment from all the corporations, such as SPOTIFY, that continue running ICE ads on their platforms. Do they support ICE murdering US citizens? They still support ICE? Let American consumers know!

so ICE is just shooting people in the face in cold blood in the middle of the street now abolish it and prosecute everyone involved, there can be no "looking forward" about this kind of shit

Hilton Hotels doubles-down on their support for the American Gestapo. When looking for a hotel, there are *plenty* of other choices.

I don't think starting World War III should be considered "a distraction" from other things even if it does distract from other things.

You’ll notice that the American state media refuse to mention that the MAGA regime murdered over 80 people in Venezuela with bombs as people were sleeping. They’ve not only failed democracy, but humanity as well.

Thom Tillis is welcome to caucus with Senate Democrats & give control of Congress to the only party that does not endorse the Jan 6 coup & the far right authoritarian presidency currently in power. Talk is cheap, & the hour is late. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

I saw it. I remember. I will NEVER forget.

We now live in the country the Jan. 6 attackers and coup plotters hoped to create.

Cassidy is responsible for all the sickness and death that RFK Jr inflicts on the American people.

Donnie's FTD is getting worse & there are those in the administration who are taking advantage of his failing mental capacity to further their own agendas. We're on a precipice & if democrats don't stand up to these fascists we will lose everything. frankgeorge8675309.substack.com/p/dammit-its...

So we now appear to be up to at least 80 Venezuelans killed. For an operation that anonymous admin officials said yesterday was"virtually flawless." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

We can’t afford a Democratic Party that’s divided between fighters and folders.

Trump sees dollar signs with Venezuelan oil, has designs on other countries, and clearly sees himself as some kind of emperor of the world. I don’t think he has plans to leave in 2028. And he’s showing he’ll use the military however he wants

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.” Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

"Fascists strive impotently for a bigness the shrunken aspirations of their soul can never reach. Fascism is the banal dream of tiny men and deserves its place in the sewage of history." Good @mattpolprof.bsky.social on fascism's hatred of left, relevant now: www.currentaffairs.org/news/why-fas...

he's just gonna keep doing illegal shit as long as everyone keeps letting him

This is how it's done. If incumbent Democrats won't do the job, their primary challengers can and will use this to make sure someone else does

Yes, this is exactly the time to demand Democrats "do something." They can denounce Trump's actions as unconstitutional. They can state that he must be impeached and removed. They can make clear that all involved will be held accountable. These are the core duties of a role they all signed up for.

The fascists know they are building the framework to do strikes at home as much as they are building the infrastructure for transnational terrorism and they are salivating that they are building the systems needed to kill Americans who disagree with their fascist goals.
