🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

ICE must be abolished. The work of our time is to tear down the system that built it and remake it into one that embraces and designs systems that include all people from all places. This work will be done, because the alternative is unbearable.

My proposal for a masking, identification, and verification ordinance will, if passed and among other things, direct PPB to conduct preliminary investigations of potential impostors / impersonators of federal agents, which is common enough that even Donald Trump's FBI is warning cities about it.

About 26,875 residents across Washington state remain under an evacuation order or advisory due to flooding.
Live updates: Western Washington braces for more rain and flooding this week
Western Washington is once again bracing for heavy rain and gusting winds through Wednesday, as more atmospheric rivers arrive.
More flooding is also expected as more rain pelts the region and mountain dams release water to free up reservoir space.
It's once again all eyes on the Skagit River. Forecasters predict it'll crest above major flood stage in Concrete early Tuesday morning, then hit downstream in Mount Vernon that evening.
Residents in an area of Auburn were given a "GO NOW" evacuation notice late on Saturday, Dec. 13 as the Green River continued to rise. A portion of SR 167 between Auburn and Kent was closed.
Areas affected by heavy rainfall are at an increased risk of landslides and mudslides. Officials have advised visitors of burned areas this weekend to take extra precautions.
The Trump administration on Friday approved Washington state’s appeal for federal disaster assistance, quelling some anxiety over whether the state would receive federal assistance.

I don’t want to hear anymore “Portland is dying” narrative or vague complaints about “ANTIFA” as the clarion call for action in the city. All of that led to Trump targeting us. Groups like People for Portland, associated right-wing media ecosystem, and political opportunists own this.
