Remember right after ICE murdered Renee Good when they shot a second person, this time in the leg? They put out an elaborate story about the man assaulting ICE agents, ramming them, etc.

Only one problem: it was all a lie, as shown by multiple videos and the transcripts of calls to 911.

ICE lies.

It’s only been two weeks since ICE executed a U.S. citizen and unarmed mother in cold blood—then lied about it and protected her murderer.

Don’t let Trump’s latest deranged distraction allow this to fade quietly into the news cycle.

There must be accountability.

This cartoon, drawn by Charles Brooks in 1967 and published in The Birmingham News, shows the framing of contemporary coverage of Martin Luther King Jr.'s civil rights protests.

Compare to BLM protest coverage on right-wing media.

But there's another copy of this cartoon I want to share...

ICE’s actions tear families apart, intimidate communities, & undermine the conditions that make education, research, healthcare, & public trust possible.

We’re calling on scientists to join the general anti-ICE strike in Minnesota on January 23rd.

There are increasing chances for snow and ice from the southern Plains to the Mid-Atlantic late this week and into the weekend. There is still plenty of uncertainty in the forecast, which will evolve in the coming days, so stay up to date on the latest at weather.gov.

My Republican colleagues must take notice:

The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize.

This is pathetic.

It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.

I’m going to halve my publication output. You should consider slow science, too
If we don’t slow down, the research enterprise is going to crash, argues Adrian Barnett.

Today seems like a great day to remind people Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Anne Frank were both born in the same year.

Full color on this photo because Dr. King isn't ancient history!!!!!
Major steps forward are always called disruptive or untimely. Progress that serves the public disrupts systems built on silence.

Today - and every day - we’re fighting the good fight on behalf of the people: evidence over power, justice over silence.

More than that. I would bet that he would organize some sort of civil disobedience strategy, that would target the needs and pockets of the oppressors.

New study finds that some dogs are able to learn new words from overhearing conversations not directed at them, with a facility comparable to that of 18-month old human infants.

Dogs with a large vocabulary of object labels learn new labels by overhearing like 1.5-year-old infants
Children as young as 18 months can acquire novel words by overhearing third-party interactions. Demonstrating similar learning processes in nonhuman species would indicate that the social-cognitive sk...

Threatening WWIII because you weren’t awarded a peace prize is peak Trump insanity. The prize is awarded by an independent organization, not by the Norwegian government — and he’s also threatening the wrong country. There has never been a clearer need to invoke the 25th Amendment.

How TF can AI be more valid than an actual birth certificate?
Just imagine betting your life, your liberty, and your families safety and security upon artificial intelligence.

An artificial intelligence trained by unknown and unvetted data.
New from 404 Media: ICE's facial recognition app, which the agency is using to decide who to detain and deport, misidentified a woman. Twice.

ICE says results of the app are definitive and override a birth certificate; obviously this case shows the app is inaccurate

Have you noticed ICE is consistently using suppressors (silencers) on their rifles?

Why are ICE agents using suppressors and battering rams to arrest old men and nonviolent people in broad daylight? This is for maximum effect imo.
