The only way forward is the complete DeNazification of the Republican Party & the American government.
War tribunals for every ICE agent & disqualification from office + lengthy prison sentences for fascist collaborators at all levels of government.
Do not consider a 2028 nominee who opposes this.

Names aren't classified, publishing a government higher-up's name is not "doxxing," and journalists are entitled to publish news, even if it is classified, as long as they don't break the law to get it.
It's not the press's job to keep the government's secrets.

Ohio versus Oligarchy. Rooting for Ohio.
I spent the past five years exposing how corrupt the Ohio legislature is, and how everyday Ohioans pay the price.
Vivek Ramaswamy picked one of its leaders to be his running mate. The architect of the $600M stadium raid of Ohioans’ private funds.
Says it all. #statusquo

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact.
When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

Those indicators are the difference between “the vehicle moved” and “the vehicle was used as the weapon.” If they are not present, certainty about intent is not analysis, it is narrative management. 6/7

Across hundreds of cases, intentional VRAs have a "signature." A purposeful approach line toward a person. Commitment to that line. Steering corrections that track a target. Acceleration and follow through. All of these are absent in the videos of the incident I have seen thus far. 5/7

What I see and what is being described in reporting based on video review is not a concistent with a vehicle ramming attack. Reports also indicate the agent was not in the vehicle’s direct path when shots were fired and that at least some shots were fired from the side as the vehicle moved away. 4/7

That work involves systematic review of footage and case files, coding what is observable, and separating intent from ambiguity, panic, and poor decision making. As a result, I have watched more video footage of vehicle ramming attacks than most people ever will. 3/7

I have written on this tactic for over a decade. I hold a research grant on vehicle ramming attacks, and I curate what I believe is the largest database of these incidents, over 500 cases worldwide since 1987. 2/7

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

There seems to be some confusion over at the White House about the difference between supporting the Venezuelan people’s fight for democracy & invading Venezuela to grab their oil for Trump’s billionaire buddies.
Here’s a hint: one of them is an act of war.
Hope this helps 👍!

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The next thing I knew, they put handcuffs on me and put me in the back of an SUV. I asked if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'
