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...

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.

In case you’re wondering whether the pro-ICE reactions to Renee Nicole Good’s murder are natural, here’s a comment that was just left on my video. My video about anti-transgender bias at the BBC. I haven’t made a video about Good yet. youtu.be/pWm3dK8tPto

Minneapolis - Border Patrol stops a protester following them, and tells the car it’s their “first and final warning” to quit.

If McConnell had allowed the GOP-controlled Senate to impeach Trump after January 6, 2021, none of this would be happening. Republicans MUST be punished for their corruption and the damage they're inflicting on the United States by losing their seats in Congress. VOTE OUT ALL REPUBLICANS IN 2026.

This agency is out of control if leadership is no longer checking violations of constitutional rights. Congress absolutely must step in before more people are kidnapped/killed.

All real estate ads should be this good

To be honest, though, the city should force them to make this explicit. Show up with an arrest warrant and then have them brandish their guns and refuse to accept it, like the criminal gang they are.

The number of Gestapo in Germany was 32,000. The population was 70 million. That's one Gestapo for every 2200 citizens. The number of ICE agents is 20,000. The population of the US is 348 million. That's one ICE agent for every 17,000 citizens. There are more of us.

What's happening in Venezuela is a protection racket to make super-rich Americans super-richer. The Trump regime claimed that the Venezuela government ruled illegitimately, but it will keep them in power anyway if they give oil to Trump and his fossil fuel pals.

"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

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

ICE brandishing, not legal fucking cowards .

The United States in the year 2026

if trump thought he had a winning hand here he would be the first person in front of the press. they know it’s bad so they send their little pig man out to gobble up the slop

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.

Think about the mindset, and the expectation of immunity, of someone who texts this to friends.

"Never be deceived that the rich will allow you to vote away their wealth." -- Lucy Parsons

Larry Page’s apparent Florida move highlights how seriously the ultra-rich are taking a one-time tax aimed at extreme wealth inequality.

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

At Status_ @oliverdarcy.bsky.social has learned that Bari Weiss, CBS News' Trump-approved minder, has held up another “60 Minutes” report: An Anderson Cooper investigation of Trump’s acceptance of white S. African refugees, which is “guaranteed to provoke Trump and inflame his MAGA base.”

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

We Can See You.

Ah yes, the Kavanaugh stop. A brief law enforcement encounter that lasts a mere *checks notes* 25 days.

Just saying aloud. The new colonialism. The US will "control the incredible natural resources of Venezuela." What might the people of Venezuela have to say about that?

what

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

Reminder: ICE has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world. It has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office. Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Vigil for Renee Good

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum. We need to dismantle DHS. We need restitution. And we need trials.

Yes. Abolish ICE. It's time. They're unfit to serve. We'll be fine without them and we can build something better and humane. Also, remove Miller, Noem and Bovino.

??? Apparently Venezuela oil revenues will go into “offshore accounts” outside of the US Treasury, PBS reports.

Renee Nicole Good. Say her name. The other side is massing in body to turn her into a terrorist, and her case into a casus belli. Your voice is needed NOW.

It looks like Tim Walz is not playing. "I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard… these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops. Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight."

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training. This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One. I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

Law enforcement officers CANNOT use deadly force against a fleeing person fleeing unless they have a reasonable belief that the individual poses a danger to others (e.g., they know the person is armed). If in vehicle, the person must be threatening to use deadly force with the vehicle or other means

Active duty or retired, or even if you left after just one enlistment, you know this is true. Please share far and wide. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

This is the energy Democrats need to be bringing party wide for the next year-plus. This is an administration of criminals & what they did to this poor woman, they would do to us all if they could. They deserve to face the full force of the law.

Here's the moment slowed down. Watch the men in front of the car.
