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.”

Renee Good's final words: "its ok dude, I'm not mad at you" ICE thug's first words after killing her: "fucking bitch" What an encapsulation of the Trump movement's so-called embrace of "masculinity" and the boys it attracts. Violent, savage, weakness. Murderous rage and insecurity towards women.

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

Minnesota AG is teaming up with Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty's office to investigate the killing of Rene Good by a reckless ICE agent. Thank goodness, because Patel's non-independent FBI can't be trusted to do it fairly. May justice prevail.

BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

We have a real chance to see balcony solar legalized in Washington state this year. Our legislature should absolutely pick this up and run with it: www.brethorsting.com/blog/2026/01...

I love how this guy is considered a leftist thought leader on X.

The anti-ICE protest and vigil for Renee Hood and all of the other known and unknown victims of ICE on the Seattle waterfront tonight.

A brilliant insight from Claude Code today. I'm not being sarcastic.

Police budgets have been going up for years while clearance rates for violent crimes have been going down: • "Smarter Public Safety Spending" • "Invest in What Works" • "Better Results, Better Budgets" • "Public Safety That Delivers" • "If It's Not Working, Why Keep Paying More?" ...

Arrest the murderer and arrest Bovino. Not complicated.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

The Americans, bar none.

Mothra Mia!

AI is actually good sometimes.

I cannot wait to watch this anti-abortion carpetbagger get annihilated in the Democratic Party primary. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/n...

"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

Five years ago.

so cringey.

Womp-womp. Note that I hid a handful of stories in between these to better make my point, but they were all on the front page.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

"Can a foreign country indict Donald Trump in their domestic courts and send in their Special Forces into DC to try and grab the president of the US? This is madness. No one accepts the legal basis for this." Me on MSNOW today.

What a weird thing to say (and amplify) about Marco Rubio, who was born in Miami.

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

And for the real nerds (complimentary), here's how the team at ProPublica made the Rx Inspector tool: www.propublica.org/article/rx-i...

The first things you learn in journalism school •love America •never apologize for it

Solar didn’t just shine in 2025 — it shutdown all of the naysayers. Costs collapsed. Deployment exploded. Markets shifted gears. That’s not a trend — that’s transformation. Years of progress. Years of scale. No shortcuts. No flash. While others exposed their shortcomings, solar forged ahead.

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

Lotta September 29 babies named Zohran coming up in 2026.

Illuminati pyramid rocket ships would be dope, though.

I would be furious if my toddler's daycare let a couple guys coded as AR-15 nuts in 'just because'.

WSJ breaks significant news reporting that Mar-a-Lago’s spa *for years* regularly sent young staffers to Epstein’s home purportedly to give him massages, contorts its scoop to find a more flattering angle for Trump, and still gets an icy blast of a comment from Leavitt. www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

nah.

Tankies are profoundly harmful to the flourishing of liberal democracy and should be excommunicated from polite society.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains

Truly, an amazing last name

I spent 72 hours checking the posting times of every Gazan account I saw fundraising. More than 2/3 of them were inconsistent with Gaza but consistent with Myanmar or Cambodia, where hundreds of thousands of people are trafficked into doing scam work under threat of violence or death.

Not enough attention paid to the very direct right wing pipeline Substack promotes. Enough that Platformer and Casey Newton elected to switch to another service rather than support a platform that pushes and promotes hard right, conspiracy, and neo Nazi content www.platformer.news/why-platform...

The Power Broker by Robert Caro. Just as relevant as it was fifty years ago.

When he’s right, he’s right.

The original Goatse. Amazing

Can we also acknowledge that her glasses are incredibly ugly? They’re a terrible 1980s throwback that should’ve never been given another chance. Just say no.

I do wish more candidates and elected Dems would do this.
