Folks have been noting the creepiness of this NRA statement on the Minneapolis murder that DOESN'T affirm Alex Pretti's right to have a gun at a protest, instead blaming "radical progressive politicians lie Tim Walz" who have "incited violence against law enforcement officers" for his death....

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Calling these thugs “federal law enforcement agents” is journalistic malpractice.

If we could just use Peter’s equal area Projection Map, we might watch our size obsessed president stop paying attention to Greenland because it is not actually as big as he thought.

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

They say they’re monitoring ICE arrests. Feds say they’re breaking the law. The fatal shooting of Renée Good last week, as ICE officers and residents faced off on a Minneapolis street here, has brought new attention to ICE monitoring.

"The veteran said he saw volunteering as an ICE observer as another way of serving his country.

This is a pivotal moment we’ll be asked about by our kids, "Where were you?"

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks:

- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota
- Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally
- Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

I think I know where Trump is getting his foreign policy. It’s 2 extra armies for South America and 5 for North America with only 3 places where you need to defend.

Stephen Miller is acknowledging that this administration does not believe in the rule of law. Welcome to the Hobbesian state of nature.

Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland

“We live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power,” he said. “These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.” - Stephen Miller Asserts U.S. Has Right to Take Greenland www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/u...

That is the optimistic interpretation of what is happening.

It may also be that they believe that they have one year to suspend or manipulate elections to remain in power in perpetuity in a white supremacist autocracy.

As an alternative to Wall’s pretzel bending self contradictory argument about adding sociology programs because we need sociology may I elevate the case made by my colleague and friend Ashley Rondini

Trump Says Intel Has Agreed to Give U.S. a 10% Stake in Its Business

When the government controls businesses isn’t that socialism? What happens to a free market when governments owns some companies?

Senate Takes Up Trump’s Policy Bill, as G.O.P. Scrounges for Votes to Pass It

Just a reminder that the DREAM Act in 2010 had more votes to advance than the Senate had for this monster today. We shouldn’t radically changes laws by a 51 to 49 vote.

Trump's DHS is out of control! The violent treatment of Senator Alex Padilla is a stark reminder of the administration's authoritarian agenda. Trump's America is a dystopian nightmare.

Noem says they're in CA to "liberate" the city from its own elected official.

Noem said the federal gov was in California to LIBERATE the city from its own elected representatives?! WTAF. No wonder Padilla had a fucking question to ask.

Strike one? Is Chuck the blind umpire or is he watching a different game? They arrested children, citizens, mayors, and now a senator!

Kristi Noem: “Nobody knew who he was”

Literally, the first second of the video 👇

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.
