Not giving up our democracy to some rich felons who want to sell it off for parts. United we stand, divided we fall. Get loud and find good trouble.

I think it is probably a bad idea to put clearly unhinged, angry psychopaths in federal law enforcement positions.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.
Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says amandascgorman Minneapolis, Minnesota For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose, Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been. Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love * better angels of our nature.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

Conway: This man is violating his oath in myriad ways each and every day. Impeachment is not an option. It is mandatory. It is required. It is morally, constitutionally, and legally obligated.

Hours after an ICE agent killed Renee Nicole Good, Elon Musk’s chatbot was undressing her.

"What other wardrobe malfunctions can I fix for you?" Grok said to the account that requested the deepfake, adding a grinning emoji.

This is the issue of our time. How we respond to Trump’s secret police will define our future for generations.

Our community is stronger than any masked henchmen.

ICE: Get the fuck out of Illinois.
Screenshot of headline from Daily Northwestern: 'Get the f-k out of our cities': Community members hold vigil to honor Minnesota woman killed by ICE Quoted copy reads: Abughazaleh told The Daily she had cried five times since learning of the shooting. "It was a mom that just dropped her kid off at school," Abughazaleh said. "Her wife saw her get shot in the head. She had stuffed animals in her glove box and a dog in her car." She then called for the abolition of ICE and DHS and for prosecuting federal immigration agents. "Get the f—k out of our cities," Abughazaleh said. "You're not wanted here. And as soon as we possibly can, we're not just abolishing ICE — we're holding all of you to account." Headline screenshot of Evanston RoundTable: Protesters gather to condemn fatal shooting of Minneapolis woman Quoted copy reads: Candidate Kat Abughazaleh said if she were in Congress, she would be launching an investigation into the shooting and dismantle the Department of Homeland Security. "So many of us, including myself, have seen firsthand the brutality that ICE enacts in our communities," she said. "ICE has already shot people in broad daylight, killed people in broad daylight. Shooting a mother in the head ... isn't a surprise, but it still hurts. It still knocks the breath out of your chest."

"Should the opposition ever regain power, it should commit to prosecuting members of this regime at every level to the fullest extent of the law."
The Distance Between Renee Good and Ashli Babbitt Is Fascism
It’s not a hypocrisy. It’s a coherent worldview.

They will happily come to your state. To your street. Cause chaos. Murder you. And then call you a terrorist.

This is the Trump regime.

A murderous regime that hates the American people.

Is it 2026, or 1933? This from JD Vance should send a chill.

Bragging about ICE “going door-to-door and making sure that if you’re an illegal alien, you’ve got to get out of this country…”

Screw the Constitution and due process? This doesn’t sound like American values to my ears.

Minneapolis is out in the streets to show the disgust and the rage its citizens feel against ICE. Police joined protesters to make a maximum of noise outside the hotel where the ICEstapo is housed.
