we fought, and I'm not kidding you can look it up, a whole revolution to stop shit like this

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.

It is the position of the Trump Administration that its agents can come into any state and city in America (let alone other countries) and kill people and that state and city have no jurisdiction to inquire about it. Treat any Trump official accordingly.

Every FBI press conference is babbling about how much they love their state and local partners. Until they don't. The FBI is shutting Minnesota out of the investigation into Renee Good's shooting so Kash Patel can sweep everything under the rug.

The Trump Regime Smear Machine is now a taxpayer funded venture that smears victims of state violence by justifying their killing. This should be familiar, it is a common practice in the aftermath of police shootings of black people (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

I'm a terrorism scholar and this is exactly what we warn about when we say terrorism functions as a shibboleth, a password, a magic word which unlocks unprecedented state power and in turn excuses any state action.

I absolutely believe that Trump's thugs would physically prevent the shooter from being taken into custody by state police. With force, if it came to that. With deadly force, if it came to that. I think there is a strong faction within the administration—including Trump himself—that yearns for this.

The Trump administration's FBI is blocking Minnesota police from investigating the murder of Renee Nicole Good and refusing to share evidence with the state. This, after the president lied and claimed the uninjured murderer was clinging to dear life in a hospital. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

i name things wrong in google photos on purpose and sometimes it leads to this

I'm tired of posts that ask why everyone is so surprised that [evil thing] happened. Do these people have a condition where they're only shocked and horrified by things that also surprise them? I have not seen a single expression of disbelief today that ICE could do such a thing as this.

Kinda sucks how one day you’ll post stuff like “does the Grinch use the toilet?” and then the next it has to be “I reject those who worship death”

*hangs head* I did not redact enough of my thoughts today. I promise at least 50% more nothing tomorrow.

Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power - file impeachment articles every day in the House - withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee - be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable

Police procedurals help normalize this FYI

Hang in there, y’all.

One of the best things that's been said to me recently is "I like you b/c you're kind." I'm so mad right now. I'm so mad often. But I'm going to do everything I can to be so so so damned kind. We'll take care of each other, however we can, and be kind. And kindness includes fighting for one another.

It is literally impossible to shoot an unarmed person through the driver's side window of a car in self-defense. No matter what else has happened in your day, you are beside the car now, not in front of it or behind it. Cars don't go sideways. You are safe.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

BREAKING

She was kidnapped for almost a month. That's an excellent way to destroy a person's life given that most people live paycheck to paycheck.

The straight truth is that Rachel Good was desperately trying to do whatever she could do to save her life when she was murdered. She was driving away from every armed man at the scene. You know it, I know it, everyone involved knows it. She was not murdered out of fear that she would hurt anyone.

it's been an absolute motherfucker of a week, give each other some grace today

This is the proper framing.

As always, Defector gets it right: defector.com/ice-agent-ki...

In 2019, I moved to Minneapolis for law school. My wife and I felt lucky to buy a house in a beautiful, vibrant part of the city. This is now the second murder by law enforcement in my neighborhood. to become national news. Two things are true: - Enough is enough - I am so proud of my neighbors

They are laying siege to schools. They are using chemical weapons.

this could be the floor

Thank funk he deleted the post. The extreme reaction was justified, and I hope any further iterations of that idea will be likewise blasted out of the acceptable range of public discourse.

Renee Nicole Good was 37. She was murdered by an ICE agent in the street in broad daylight. What really happened to her will not be forgotten, minimized, or ignored.

Yes, killing peaceful protesters is a sign of tyranny. www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/t...

One outcome we need to see is every single ICE employee standing in front of a tribunal for their part in ethnic cleansing, which is certainly not going to happen today, but it's a good goal to put up on the board, because it helps us think about everything that needs to change so we can achieve it.

The name of the victim in the Minneapolis murder was Renee Nicole Good. She was 37 years old and leaves behind a young son. www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

This is why you don’t slow walk your prosecutions

This is why you prosecute the Bush administration officials for the torture program

I don't think you can truly grapple with where we are, and how we come back from it, without recognizing this is not a constitutionally legitimate government and he is not the lawful president of the United States.

Like those before it, that insane, vile DHS statement about the Minneapolis shooting isn't about covering anything up. It's performative lying. They aren't trying to persuade anyone that their agents did nothing wrong. They're trying to project that their agents can get away with anything.

Cannot be overstated that among conservative gun owners and the cops, there is no mournful acknowledgment that the dangers of this world might force them to use a gun in self-defense. There is gleeful longing for a situation where they would get to use their guns to kill and claim self-defense.

I keep getting Pedro Pascal and Paul Mescal confused, so I'm writing a poem as a handy aide memoire: Moustachioed is he? Then Pedro he be. If he's brooding and tall, Then his name is Paul.

some people can have good intentions, be decent humans and solid representatives in normal times, and still simply not be built for moments like these. and those people should be nowhere near power right now sorry

I WANT LEADERS AS ANGRY AS WE ARE

You have to take their money. Period.

Minneapolis Mayor says video shows DHS claims of self-defense are “bullshit.” He says ICE created the situation & made it worse. His message to ICE: “Get the fuck out of Minneapolis." He encourages citizens not to take the bait & rise to the occasion. "Let's show them unity."

A 23 year old larping as a journalist made a misleading and inaccurate YouTube video that the administration full of chronically online shitposters used to justify the “largest immigration operation ever” and now someone is dead

We're all horrified at how many people just don't care about the atrocities. It feels like not looking away should make up for those who do. It feels like the victims deserve to be witnessed. But it doesn't do any good to harm yourself by watching. You're not one of the ones who refuses to see.

No, just don’t do it. It’s not something you’re supposed to be able to handle. There are people who need to understand details beyond “ICE gunned down a woman in the street.” If you’re asking yourself whether you’re one of those people, you’re not one.

Arrest the murderer and arrest Bovino. Not complicated.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

THEY ALWAYS SAY THIS. I am beginning to believe they specifically like to murder people in their cars because the media always parrots this and, of course, because a person strapped into a car is all but helpless, a sitting target.
