Thanks Meta, you’ve now ruined Instagram. I am one of the unfortunate people with the new layout and it sucks and apparently there is no way to change back. If I wanted TikTok I’d be on that.

📌Trump has proven that if you murder enough innocent women, attack enough countries, put troops in our streets, level the White House, exterminate life-saving vaccines, cover for Russia, attack our health care, and wreck the job market, you can make the Epstein Files go away.

It’s abundantly clear that ICE is randomly accosting people based solely on skin color. They’re just roving around demanding to see the papers of anyone they don’t think looks white. (Impeach the president)
Another video "showed a young man, who identified himself as Native American, dragged from his car by ICE agents. The man was detained by ICE shortly after he and his aunt were stopped and questioned in the parking lot of a Hy-Vee in Robbinsdale..." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

“A coup is happening in the United States.” Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works, argues that President Donald Trump is leading an unlawful takeover of the US government.

From our friends at @revealnews.org:
I study fascism. I’ve already fled America.
On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

The essay has only proven to be more accurate with time: “Simply put, Trump’s ingrained and extreme behavioral characteristics make it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.” This should be the lede of every story.
In the six-plus years since, every mental health professional I have come across has told me that my essay had it exactly right. I think every word of it has been proven right many times over.

Even today, he's still only going to get worse.

The tl;dr of this report is not that these administration officials are upset about ICE having murdered Renee Good; it's that even these goons realize Noem's lies about the murder were so poorly crafted that people aren't going to believe all the other lies the administration tells the public.

Part of the reason that the shootings keep happening is that immigration officials appear to have taken no steps to rein in agents who shoot civilians, Parente said.

Reports say Trump has ordered U.S. special forces commanders (JSOC) to draft an invasion plan for Greenland, but senior military leaders are pushing back on the grounds that it would be illegal.

Everyone, including protesters, has the right to be free from excessive force.

Firing chemical rounds into someone’s face like this is disgusting.

In California, those rights are respected and enforced.

ICE & CBP, you’ve been warned.

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

WSJ identified 13 instances of agents firing at or into civilian vehicles since July, leaving 8 people shot with two confirmed dead. Only one civilian was armed—with a concealed weapon. This is happening so frequently that it appears to be an authorized tactic—

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.

The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

If you’d like to have it all explained in one post, Amanda Marcotte is here:
Vance and Miller are pudding-soft cowards who are addicted to praise from other pudding-soft cowards cosplaying on Twitter with bald eagle avatars.

Trump is a narcissist who will take praise wherever he can get it.

And shitty men are easy to impress by punching down.

Congress must address Kristi Noem's failed leadership, up to and including impeachment. But that alone is insufficient.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished.

I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy.

Time to melt ICE.
