ICE has killed 9 folks in the first 26 days of ‘26:

• Alex Pretti
• Renee Good
• Keith Porter
• Heber Sanchaz Domínguez
• Victor Manuel Diaz
• Parady La
• Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz
• Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres
• Geraldo Lunas Campos

They all deserve justice. And for us to remember their names.

"I think it's no surprise that a company run by a man who sat behind Trump at his inauguration, and donated to the destruction of the White House, has taken a stance that helps ICE agents retain anonymity."

Meta Is Blocking Links To ICE List on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads
Users of Meta's social platforms can no longer share links to ICE List, a website listing what it claims are the names of thousands of DHS employees.

To summarise BBC reporting on the collapse of the American Republic: "It's unclear who is to blame for the killing, the victim or the people who shot him."

Such 'balance' aids the fascist war on epistemology. Reality does not reside halfway between a lie and the truth.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Remember “guns don’t kill people, people kill people”?
From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

His name is DAVID EASTERWOOD and he’s not just “reportedly associated,” he’s the Acting Director of the ICE Field Office here.

They want to be badass warrior spies with no mercy, no rules until they face the *tiniest* bit of accountability, then they cry like babies who got their juice box stolen.
VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE

NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

Why do 90% of writing goals fail by February?

They depend on other people saying yes, which is a recipe for giving up.

SMART goals flip this. Finally, you're the one in control.

What do I want Democrats to do? If they can't call for the total abolition of ICE and the full prosecution of all its employees for crimes against humanity, what I want them to do is resign or retire.

Cool that this racist babbling old child rapist can have my fellow Minnesotans murdered with impunity. Great job, USA.
Trump: "MN is a very corrupt place & the elections are totally corrupt. I feel I won it all 3 times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon. It's a rigged state. The Somalians vote as one group even if they're not citizens. They all ought to get the hell out of here. They're bad for our country"

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

It's beginning to look like all of those guns Americans buy to keep government in check were only ever bought for school shootings.

I’ve been sadder, more depressed, more anxious many times in my life.

But after the ICE Gestapo invasion of our city this week, I don’t think I’ve ever been ANGRIER. Actively fighting what seems to be an unhealthy level but also holding on to what feels sane and appropriate.

It’s fun, man.

On Sunday afternoon at the Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota, Don Nygaard, a 74-year-old former Marine, was detained for protesting ICE.
NEW: An elder man was shot with pepper balls and arrested by federal agents after protesting ICE in the driveway of the Whipple Federal Building around 2 p.m. on Jan. 11, 2026. The man's car was driven into the parking lot by a DHS agent and then a tow truck came and took the car away.
