Today, local authorities confirmed the victims of the Stockton shooting were just 8, 9, 14, and 21 years old — and that the attack was likely targeted. Our hearts break for their families and the entire Stockton community.
America HATES its children. HATES them. We let them get slaughtered at schools, stores, and birthday parties. We think educating them wastes money that could go to deserving billionaires, instead of being an investment in our future. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds even refused funds to FEED children. HATES
We white folks need to read this and sit with it for a while.
Can you accept - even w/o agreeing with all our positions - that Black people know profound truths about this country that are not on Schoolhouse Rock?
Now that the tactics they’ve used in our communities are becoming national policy, are you ready to concede that you need our “expertise” as well?

I’m glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change “defund the police” - so many of you denounced them.

Everyone who is not at these events should be on the streets, non-violently insisting that ICE and the entirety of DHS be defunded and disbanded immediately. And we should all join them, starting at the offices of every member of Congress.
No school in Minneapolis tomorrow and Friday. Just got this email.

Amen to all of this.
Where is DOGE when we actually need them?

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.
For the love of all that is decent and holy: abolish ICE

If the murder of Renee Good was as capricious as it appears, the officer needs to be arrested, and the people need to march to the local offices of every member of Congress and stay there until he is arraigned. Americans need to be in the streets.

We have three branches of government who are either complicit, pathetically weak or just plain too scared of an 80 year old bully to do anything.

Depraved conduct of the ICE agents. A doctor at the scene attempted to help the woman who was shot was kept away by ICE. When an ambulance finally arrived, it was blocked from reaching her by law-enforcement vehicles, and paramedics had to reach her on foot. ICE wanted to be sure she was dead.

Oh my god.
Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.

TIL Marco Rubio believes that Greenland – GREENLAND – may pose a threat to US national security. (No, Hegseth is laughing at something else.)
Q: "Is the administration really willing to risk the NATO alliance by potentially moving ahead with a military operation?"
Rubio: "If the president identifies a threat to the national security of the U.S., every president retains the option to address it through military means."

Damn. A January 6 banger from Amy Grant, targeted at the Woodstock Generation, which has lost our way. Maybe I'm projecting my own views on these lyrics: it's not a manifesto, SFAIK. Certainly feels like a cri du coeur – especially with her warm tone.

Every Democratic governor and mayor, please take note! I’d like to see billboards to this effect, put up in GOP districts.
Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

Ruthless, yes. A ferocious advocate/servant of justice without fear or favor.
But also a visionary. There has never been a better time or a more acute need for people willing to do big things.
It’s been an indulgence, bitching and moaning online. But we have great works to do, and should do them.

💯 Scream this message from the rooftops.
"The next Democratic president has to be ruthless... [they] should run on a plan to prosecute Elon Musk... there has to be accountability... the [next] Democratic president has to put the fear of God into their Republican opponents"
