Breaking NBC:

Family members of two Trinidadian men who were killed in a U.S. boat strike in October have sued the U.S. government — accusing it of wrongful death and extrajudicial killings.

The lawsuit is the first of its kind to be filed against the Trump admin.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

“I usually stay out of politics. This doesn't feel like that. What I'm seeing from ICE feels cruel. I don't need it explained away or reframed. I trust my own eyes! When people are treated like threats instead of human beings,when fear is the tactic, something is broken.”

This is at least the second interview Trump has done this month in this really weird format -- standing, with his overcoat still on, and at some distance from the man interviewing him.

All the rumors about binding girdles, adult diapers and his ungodly stench all seem a little more likely here.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

“I am disheartened and sad…that we cannot demonstrate our sympathy for the beleaguered, that we are told immigrants, which most of us are or descended from, are unwelcome, that we cannot show our frustration in peaceful demonstration, and that we can be attacked and even killed by Federal troops.”

Half of Nashville's population was without power.

Utilities tend to be monopolies, yet many municipalities let them put their customers' lives in danger by allowing power companies to lay lines cheaply (above ground), where they are more likely to be affected by ice and cut off power in the cold.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
