The protesters in Tehran? "Patriots." The protesters in Minneapolis? "Anarchists and professional agitators." The eruption of protests on opposite sides of the planet has brought Trump’s views of democracy and popular dissent into stark relief. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/u...

Craig: "In my district, 2 days ago a special ed teacher pulled into her school parking lot, her windows were smashed, she was taken & detained for 12 hours. I've never seen such an out of control agency. That's why as soon as I leave, I'm joining a group to file articles of impeachment against Noem"

🧵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

We see, we hear, how can we be wrong ?
Renee Good’s murder was not just a homicide, it’s a hate crime against women, called femicide.
Good told ICE, "That's fine, I'm not mad at you" and was shot 3 times in the head point blank, Ross yelled the misogynist slur, "fucking bitch" after killing her. #3E #endimpunity

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Greenland is not for sale. A nation is not a commodity, a stock, or an asset. It’s a place defined by its people, history, and culture. Respect for sovereignty and human dignity should always come first.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
