“When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior.”
🧵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

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

Seeing the list in full makes the reality unavoidable: United States is stepping away not from one institution, but from the architecture.

This would be a good moment for top editors in our major news organizations to call a meeting to announce to their staff that Trump has lost his mind and you don’t have to cover him like he’s normal anymore.

This seems significant: not a FORMER DHS official, but a SENIOR (current) one saying the officer who fired acted counter to training.
This is not an admin that admits mistakes. And they are hanging this guy out to dry on Day One.
I think they know this is bad. Really bad.

This is right from Trump’s playbook, pitting the moneyed against those who cannot afford to defend themselves, even if they are on the right side of the law. It amounts to abuse of the legal system for personal ends.
A first-of-its-kind Texas law takes effect today. It aims to dam the flood of abortion pills into the red state — by letting people sue one another.

Rare agreement from both sides of the divide.
The Trump admin wants to open offshore drilling along the CA and FL coasts, and both Newsom & DeSantis are calling it out as a threat to the environment, tourism and coastal communities.
If these two are sounding the alarm together, you know it’s bad.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort
