This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

These three frames, synchronized with each gunshot by the Washington Post, show the ICE agent’s legs beside the car with each shot. The statements from Trump, Vance, and Noem contradict the facts.
An independent investigation is essential to ensuring justice for Renee Good.

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.
This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

Someone sent me this video of Trump’s goons in action today in the Twin Cities. The audio is disturbing.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

It’s always easier to do nothing.
To not prevent infections.
To not pay for clean air.
To not call out racism.
To not call out discrimination against vulnerable & disabled folks.
The list goes on & it’s easy to think this isn’t going to happen to me until it does. As is the case with long 🧵

I would never accuse the Iraqi Army of being well trained or using a lot of restraint. And yet in Mosul I came to expect more discretion from the average Iraqi soldier than U.S. cops who have never taken incoming fire.
not for the first time I note these guys pulling shit that would have gotten you extremely killed in any actual insurgency situation
Minneapolis, after the murder of Renee Nicole Good.

I’ve been saying this over & over. We had ROE’s that stated:
‘Nobody fires unless fired upon’
That would’ve been a War Crime in all Combat zones in which I’ve served. 🤨

it’s incredibly important to note that on the new footage that came out from the ICE agent himself, halfway through the video he switches his phone between his hands, opening up to grab his gun way before renee good even starts driving

This generation hides behind “I don't owe anyone anything” to avoid accountability. Yes, you do. You owe apologies to those you hurt. Gratitude to those who showed up. Respect to those you disrespected.
That's not weakness, that's maturity.

The newspaper of record of my entire childhood would literally rather die than pay its unionized workers the wages and benefits that the actual Supreme Court of the United States of America decided were owed to them.
NEW: Publishers of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette announce they are shutting down the newspaper on May 3, 2026.
Hours ago, the Supreme Court of the US declined to extend a stay on a court order for the paper to pay its journalists following the end of a 3-year strike.

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.”
