🧵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

Meanwhile near where they killed Renee Good ICE was terrorizing a high school — and now Minneapolis has canceled school for the week.
None of this is about safety. A lawless regime with no guardrails.

If people understood this we would abolish ICE and defund police. But it's hard to get people to understand what they don't want to understand.
There are people who still don't understand that you can do everything right--you can do everything they tell you--and you will still be shot in the face.

ICE killed a member of our community today. ICE showed up at my kid’s daycare today. ICE is bragging about the number of families they’ve torn apart in a matter of days, and promising that their campaign of terror isn’t done.

If more people understood that whiteness is, as Baldwin said, a moral choice, fewer folks would be shocked like so many in the comments to see a man whose skin happens to be dark making that choice.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

The president of the US is waging a civil war against blue states; unless we all start protesting, in every state, it's a war we necessarily will lose.

I've got a zine coming about the failed attempts to suppress David Walker's Appeal in the 19th century. The current fascists won't succeed in suppressing information that wants to be shared. It is even harder for them to do than their predecessors. #Onwards

I still remember Ma telling me five years ago that if these insurrectionists on January 6th were Black, then they would be dead. Five years later, they are almost all alive, out of jail, and their guy is back in the White House. If that’s not White privilege, then I don’t know what is.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

Trump is a morality test and integrity test and courage test and it's stunning how many people fail all three so miserably.
Marina Corina Machado was just on Hannity's show effusively kissing up to Trump, including offering to share the Nobel Prize with him
