No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

I shouldn't even have to say this, but precisely *no one* in the independent journalism sphere is saying that Trump can *legally* cancel the midterms.

So corporate media should put on its thinking cap and ask themselves what independent journalists *are* saying.

Yes.... *that*.

If you’re a Democrat and your position is anything less than abolishing and prosecuting Trump’s secret police, then you are complicit and enabling fascism through thine cowardice.

Renee Good had a pulse when EMS arrived. I’m not sure it would have made a difference if ICE had let that civilian physician render aid before EMS arrived, but now we will never know. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The so-called party of free speech and small government is happily supporting armed, masked government agents conducting “show me your papers” stops and brutalizing U.S. citizens.

Their real “party values” are terrorizing communities of color and anyone else who speaks out.

Remember this.

We're marching the long road to next months bills.

Lots of handmade items as well as custom commissions.

Or if you like, drop a dono to help an indie artist weather the storm.

Together, the administration’s pervasive and reflexive disdain for facts—what can literally be seen without dispute—and the reflex to taint a woman now dead, crystallize a new level of ugliness for an administration that shamelessly admits:

Violence is us.
They couldn’t care less about Renee Good’s killing
A disdain for facts and the reflex to taint a dead woman crystallize a new level of grotesqueness.
