“When’s the next nationwide protest?” You might be asking yourself.

Here’s a big one that’s happening in less than a month!

Jan 20th. Free America Walkout. Women’s March, 50501, & More. Be There.

Community members gathered for Renee Good. Indigenous Roots, a Minnesota-based cultural institution, held a moment of remembrance - honoring her life through traditional Native dance.

Flying with dragons
Over rooftops and mountains
Into the clouds
Where mysteries are found
Fighting ice with fire
We, in this moment
Deliver on our promise
To find freedom in our life
Create magic that feels alive
Making a future with courage
And beautiful sunshines on our side

You can see a stream in the winter morning mist, with bare trees reflected in it.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.

Snow-covered branches extend into the image from both sides, framing a tranquil river whose surface reflects the winter landscape and cloudy sky. More snow-covered trees can be seen in the background. The scene appears peaceful and depicts a natural winter landscape. Schneebedeckte Äste ragen von beiden Seiten in das Bild und rahmen einen ruhigen Fluss ein, dessen Oberfläche die winterliche Landschaft und den wolkigen Himmel spiegelt. Im Hintergrund sind weitere schneebedeckte Bäume zu sehen. Die Szene wirkt ruhig und zeigt eine natürliche Winterlandschaft.

That press briefing by JD Vance on the killing of Renee Good was one of the most disgraceful things I've ever seen, and pretty much a clear exercise in Orwellian gaslighting.

JD Vance accuses the slain Renee Good of perpetrating "an attack on federal law enforcement, an attack on law and order, and attack on the American people"

"That woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation," he adds, repeatedly referring to her as "that woman"

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Thanks to for the gift article. @randyfromm.bsky.social some important excerpts:
• Safari And, as the historian Timothy Snyder has pointed out, if due process is routinely denied to noncitizens, it will be denied to citizens too, simply because it is often impossible for people to prove that they are citizens. This has happened before, when an unknown number of U.S. citizens were caught up in the deportations of hundreds of thousands of Mexican Americans in the late 1920s and 1930s. ADVERTISEMENT Security says she did not declare properly. When the range of factors that can get a person arrested stretches from political speech to a paperwork error, we are in territory described by the Russian saying, "Give us a person and we'll find the infraction." It's the shifting goal posts. They are taking not only people who are in the United States without legal status but also those who are here on a visitor's visa and then also legal permanent residents. They are targeting not only people who have criminal convictions but also those whom they say they suspect of belonging to a gang and also those who participated in or supported campus protests and then also someone, like Ozturk, who merely wrote, with three other people, an opinion 13:54 91 • Safari Those of us who have lived in countries terrorized by a secret police force can't shake a feeling of dreadful familiarity. "I never realized until this moment how much fear I carried with me from my childhood in Communist Romania," another friend, the literary scholar Marianne Hirsch, told me. "Arrests were arbitrary and every time the doorbell rang, I started to shiver."

This is from Heather Cox Richardson, noted historian.

Conclusion: Republicans are promoting a police state called into force at Trump’s say-so. Not based on actual crime stats or emergencies. Just on a whim.

Something Putin taught us is that the goal of effective propoganda isn't to convince people, it's to create a permission structure:

a) for your existing hardcore supporters to back you; and

b) for those not engaged to tune out because it's all too complicated or partisan politics as usual.
