Turns out it is much safer to attack the U.S. Capitol than it is to drive away from ICE. Who knew?

In DC during the federal surge, citizen parents started coordinating “walking buses” to take children of immigrants safely to and from school. The city-by-city targeting can feel isolating, but it’s also shown how people can share and develop techniques of resistance over time
People who aren't in Minnesota might not know that if you drive or walk past pretty much any school, there's going to be a group of people, parents and childless, standing guard to make sure the kids are safe from feds. It's pretty remarkable. And very disturbing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

They say they’re monitoring ICE arrests. Feds say they’re breaking the law.
The fatal shooting of Renée Good last week, as ICE officers and residents faced off on a Minneapolis street here, has brought new attention to ICE monitoring.

As Trump and his people continue to brazenly, transparently lie about the murder of Renée Good by their ICE agent in Minneapolis, I’m reminded of my 2017 book Fantasyland. Especially the last chapter, “As Fantasyland Goes, So Goes the Nation,” and this passage from near the end.

The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

After an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis this week, firing his weapon as she attempted to drive away, many are wondering: Can that officer be taken to court? According to lawyers, absolutely.
"It is essentially a garden-variety, unjustified use of deadly force case."

This is very good from WaPo. Note position of officer's feet to side of car when first shot is fired. I think everyone defending this should be asked: Was it not even an *overreaction* to fire those shots, especially 2 & 3, into her face point-blank with the officer clearly not in danger? Really?

This is absolutely what happened.
He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.
