Expect to see a surge of proud ignorance and proplawganda about what you can say about ICE agent Jonathan Ross, identified by local media as the person who shot and killed Renee Good.

In particular, expect a repeat of Rittenhouse-era “accusing him of murder is defamation” rhetoric.

It’s not.

I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt until you said this cancer-ass shit. Go fuck yourself into a six-foot hole.
Well, that's definitely going to bring back Nicole Good to life, we are all grateful to you.

Do not give any ground on this. Instead, incorporate their utter inhumanity into your critique—they are what they do: ICE are kidnappers and murders, it is their function; Bari Weiss’ Free Press excuse ICE’s kidnapping and murdering, it is its function. They lack any legitimacy and must be stopped.
they are already turning this into a "debate" and an excuse to scold the left

If I am ever killed by the armed Nazis marching through these streets I hereby ban libs from crying about how my death needs to be independently mourned as if it’s not related to the hundred other Nazi tendencies of the federal government.
Update: I am informed that there was a DSA rally in which all possible other causes were dragged in, and a very left acquaintance said: Jeez, I’m leaving.

Sigh.

We should be able to have vigils that focus on this one event, not just for big tent reasons but out of respect for someone who has DIED.
Boston area people: is there a vigil or demonstration for Renee Good?

Also, how does one get on the mailing lists that tell you about such things without having to ask Bluesky? I only got here a few months ago, and I have not yet found them.

side discussion but anyone saying the real issue with ICE is a lack of proper training is subtly arguing for increased funding and should probably be ignored going forward regarding all substantive matters

Kyle Rittenhouse was an honored guest at a 2024 gathering of Oregon Republican activists. This is the monstrously depraved tweet he sent tonight. These are the people who claim to be defending Christianity and “western civilization.”

im sorry i know it sucks but journalists are going to have to be willing to get fired for simply describing what they see happening with their own eyes, you look like fucking morons
"Was the officer struck by the vehicle, as President Trump insists, or did the car pass by or around him?"
If we only had some trusted institution that could adjudicate between competing claims by relying on facts.

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me"

you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist
The murdered woman's glove compartment is filled with stuffed animals.

Democrats need to understand that they can just say “It’s insane to threaten Greenland” and “I don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

ICE shot and killed a woman on camera today. We all saw the video.

The Trump administration is lying.

It's great that we have so many prisons in this country that we won't have to worry about fitting everyone from Trump to Noem to the shooter(s), top to bottom, for the rest of their lives.

If you're worried about anything in video games that isn't related to what these billion-dollar "AAA" studios are doing to fuck all of us (AI slop, microtransactions, gambling, charging more for less, etc)...

... and you're raging about what some indie dude is fucking doing...

You're the problem.

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

i'm not going to dunk on anyone specifically but get out of my mentions with "the speaker of the house doesn't have the power to-" the president doesn't have the power to be doing anything he's doing. clearly that has no bearing on reality anymore!

Five years ago today, the United States Capitol was attacked in a violent insurrection incited by the President of the United States for one purpose: to overturn a free and fair election and cling to power in clear violation of the Constitution.

I've watched thousands of videos from the Jan. 6 riot as part of NPR's reporting and archive project on that day.

Here are some of the lesser known videos that have really stuck with me.

Glenn seemingly never met a Nazi he wouldn't give the benefit of the doubt to, at the very least.
Glenn Greenwald says Nick Fuentes' authenticity makes it easy for critics to "demonize and attack you by taking these quotes that can sound not just very racist, but very almost Nazi-like and kind of an extermination rhetoric." Um, yea. People who use Nazi-like rhetoric tend to get labeled a Nazi.

Why show up to work at all then? At minimum, as the opposition party you say "This wouldn't happen if we were in power and if you give us power here's how we'll impose consequences on the president's lawbreaking." Have they outlined that in any real way?
A lot of people are mad at Schumer for saying this. But he's right. Democrats don't control a single branch of government and they can't pass anything. Only Republicans can rein in Trump because they control both chambers of Congress. Democrats have no cards to play here.
Schumer: "Republicans must -- if there was ever a time, they must step up to the plate. This is the time. And if they don't, they're gonna feel the heat from their constituents."
