Jesus. It just makes the whole thing that much more sickening and sad.
Renee Good had a pulse when EMS arrived. I’m not sure it would have made a difference if ICE had let that civilian physician render aid before EMS arrived, but now we will never know. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

People mock “vote blue, no matter who” but maybe the more apt slogan these days is “vote red, end up dead.”

The question media should be asking: if Minneapolis only needs 600 police officers to perform all general law enforcement activities in the city, why did Trump send 3,000 federal agents to execute a statutorily and constitutionally *much* smaller task?
Answer? He wanted a *war*.
Answer? He wanted a *war*.

ICE and CBP agents are responsible for the statutory offenses they're committing.
But *just one monster* established the 3,000 arrests/day quota that couldn't possibly be met without turning America into a fascist state.
This is that man. When the tables turn, he'll need to be imprisoned for life.

What could go wrong?
Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

Hard to overstate what a remarkable statement this is from a Republican senator — even a retiring one — accusing thte Trump White House of weaponizing DOJ to control the Fed:
"It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question."

Jerome Powell describing DOJ pressure on the Federal Reserve should stop us cold.
When law enforcement is used to intimidate an independent central bank, you don’t get “accountability,” you get instability, market fear, and democratic erosion.
This is very dangerous.👇

Donald Trump is scared out of his mind that Republicans are going to lose the House in the midterms, if not sooner given how fast things are unraveling, which is why he’s accelerating his authoritarian and fascist plans at a pace we’ve never seen before. This isn’t confidence, it’s panic.

When a white MAGA person commits a terrorist attack
In support of trump’s agenda he celebrates and then pardons them. If a brown person commits a terrorist act he uses it as an excuse to further his white supremacist agenda.
