Something to make you think…

This piece was, for me, surprisingly powerful and direct. "We must relearn what it means to be a people capable of nonviolent resistance — not as a strategy, but as a way of being human together."

Good’s last words to the ICE agent: “That’s fine. I’m not mad at you.” His to her, after shooting her in the face: “Fuckin’ bitch.”

“Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled... her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine.” Please take a moment to read Becca Good's words and hear about the kind, loving person her wife, Renee, was to everyone who knew her.

Does anyone remember in the film The Bad Seed why pint sized psychopath Rhoda Penmark killed that little boy who was her classmate?

Are George W., Obama, Clinton, and Biden out there saying anything about anything these days?? Their silence feels deafening

After Minneapolis, now the ICE shooting on Christmas Eve in Maryland is getting some scrutiny from local police: “…county police confirmed The Banner’s reporting that the second person injured in the encounter was already in ICE custody, in one of the agency’s vehicles, when he was hurt.”

ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot and killed an unarmed civilian, flew a don't-tread-on-me Gadsden flag at his house, per the Daily Mail.

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.

Fuck no.

As of Jan. 1, it's a misdemeanor offense in California for law enforcement to wear a mask while on duty. State and local police have the authority to issue citations, which creates a public record of DHS officer names. This is happening right now in the city of Pomona, a city run by 7 Democrats.

An unarmed female U.S. citizen is assassinated in broad daylight by ICE and "The left is fueling the flames". This man can't draw a straight line between cause and effect. How has he survived all of these years?

This is the thing about the "Don't give them the pretext to send in more feds" arguments. The administration is using its own murder of an unarmed civilian as the pretext to send in more agents. They do not need a pretext and will invent them if they want.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Kristi Noem, herself, supplied the method used to ID the agent. She said he "been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident. @startribune.com reporters, who know their way around court records, quickly unearthed his name and confirmed his identity.

Wait wait wait, while Americans have to pay hundreds of billions of dollars in new tariffs, Trump is going send over $10,000 to each person in *Greenland*????????? This is a joke right ? www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Walz: "I will continue to press that we be part of the investigation, that we do the investigation, so that Minnesotans can trust what the outcome is ... very very difficult to Minnesotas to think in any way this is going to be fair when Kristi Noem was judge, jury, and executioner yesterday."

I just watched two women get kidnapped right in front of me in Northeast Minneapolis. ICE is still terrorizing our city.

Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.

The more we learn about this horrific incident, the worse it gets.

No one who treated "wear a mask when you enter this store" as horrific tyranny actually believe in deference to state authority. It's Schmittian friend-enemy politics all the way down. "We" should be able to do whatever we feel like without consequence. "They" should be harassed, repressed, killed.

According to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles. Absolutely vile.

A 38-year-old Russian journalist, identified as Yevgeny Safronov, was found dead after falling from his 7th-floor flat near Paris. Police are investigating, with “suicide considered”. He had fled Russia, faced threats, depression, and recent hacking by the Russian gov.

“Has the officer been suspended?” “He’s spending time with his family.” So: paid vacation, while they cover it up.

"This was a family that could've been like mine" -- Philip Bump breaks down crying on MS NOW when talking about the stuffed animals in Renee Good's car when she was killed

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

FYI: In 1916 the U.S. signed an agreement for control of St. Thomas, St. John & St. Croix, known as the “Danish West Indies,” in exchange for $25 million & a declaration that the U.S. would “not object to the Danish Govt extending their political & economic interests to the whole of Greenland.

I went from “I guess I will always stay in a Hilton from now on” to “I will never stay at a Hilton again” so freaking fast.

Boy, this "feel-good" story lasted all of about 10 seconds. Welcome to 2026

This loser is such a sick POS. Still going on MAGA tv defaming Abrego Garcia and the federal courts. chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...

STEWART: “And remember, the reason MAGA was so high on Trump was he was the guy who wasn’t gonna get involved with this kind of sh*t anymore.” Stewart shows Trump making it clear #Epsteinzuela is about Oil — and he’s not even hiding it as others have in the past.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

NEW: Starting today, ICE can continue using Medicaid data in deportation cases. Last year, 404 Media and @freedom.press sued DHS for refusing to share a copy of the agreement, which gives the personal data of nearly 80 million Medicaid patients to ICE. Now, the agreement has been released:

"did you try to bribe the president of the united states by giving him your nobel peace prize so he will declare that you are in charge of venezuela after abducting its leader by military force" is just a thing that someone can be asked in an interview now and we all have to deal with that

Scores of now-pardoned Jan. 6 insurrectionists will gather from 11:45am for a march to the Capitol starting at the Ellipse. One insurrectionist who says he's attending: Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to prison until 2045 until Trump intervened.

just a reminder of the initial, in the moment, right wing reaction to jan 6 my favorite is greg gutfeld saying republican condemnation of the jan 6 rioters is an example of their moral superiority over the left www.mediamatters.org/media/4018641

the same violent tactics we've seen in chicago are playing out right now on the streets of minneapolis

5 years since Jan 6 and Trump’s as dangerous as ever. Join me to defend democracy.

Lia Smith was a senior at Middlebury College, a transgender woman and, for a time, an athlete on the school’s diving team. But she struggled to feel accepted, and in October, she took her own life.

So Trump successfully bullied a good man and his family. Because winning over Harris Walz wasn’t enough. Trump wanted to destroy him. Walz is making the right decision for his family. But the success of Trump’s grotesque bullying campaign is yet another frightening step in our national descent.

A crazy guy with a hammer shows up at a politician's home? I'm sure they'll dismiss this with crude jokes just like they did when it happened at Nancy Pelosi's home and her husband was assaulted.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.
