Trump is clearly not well.
At a meeting with oil industry CEO’s Trump suddenly interrupts his introductory remarks, gets up and looks out the window and starts talking about his ballroom. Trump then realizes his mistake and says “unusual time to look”, and sits back down to continue.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.

Ice acting like they’re doing riot control. If they were actually in a riot situation they’d fold up like sold laundry. Abusing and handcuffing peaceful protesters isn’t doing real police work. It’s just stochastic terrorism

I will never forgive the people who voted for this. But I'm equally infuriated by the uncommitted voters. We fucking warned you how terrible it was going to be and you were willing to risk it. FUCK ALL OF YOU.

There’s no ethical use of grok
This use of Grok isn't personal perversion but political terrorism: it's designed to silence women, make us retreat from public life.
Exemplified by the digital desecration of the body of Renee Good: someone prompted Grok to deepfake a bikini on her corpse.
"You're next" is the message to women.

So when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact.
When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

🧵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

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

It’s a good reminder that miller at least remains the most punchable individual alive
this is small comfort given he has state power and i don’t but i am struck by what an obviously weak and fragile man miller is. a blubbering piss baby whose entire affect and personality is an attempt to make up for his profound feelings of inadequacy
MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries
