The brutality of state force is in the streets, it’s on video, and it’s being defended at the highest levels of government. If we do not act now with united, powerful resistance, the normalization of militarized state power will become irreversible.

NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ.

This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.

Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Kristi Noem is on my list of Trump cabinet officials whose impeachment and removal I will fight for if elected including Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, Noem, Pam Bondi, RFK Jr., Linda McMahon, and John Radcliffe.
This is the way and every single Democrat should be on board.

It won't get anywhere before the midterms, but it will make the midterms easier for Democrats to win and easier to take action on these promises once they do.

Be the party of accountability. Own that space, starting now.

Tapper did a great job here. Combining footage with follow up questions that directly debunk her lies, outright calling her claim not true, and highlighting her hypocrisy is how it’s done.

Noem went propaganda robot mode in her answer, but CNN viewers saw the truth upheld clearly.
Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.

ICE agents have shot at least nine other people just since September, killing one.

Under Trump, this violence is rewarded with fat bonuses and student loan forgiveness — while nurses, teachers, and everyone else struggles to get by.

We must never become numb to his cruelty.

As the greatest atmospheric polluter on earth exits climate agreements, Jan 6, 2026 becomes the hottest Jan 6th ever recorded in the ERA5 dataset at +1.65ºC above preindustrial.

Of course records like this will keep breaking as the steady march to 2ºC and more continues.

Up late studying todays events. I'm not surprised ICE finally murdered someone, on camera. I am however shocked at the response

A complete lack of effective action. The correct move would be to arrest every ICE agent involved. Walk the talk, fight, and let them see you fight but instead we get
7 minutes 10 second into the news conference he makes it clear they are going to be out there to squash protestors. 8 minutes 45 seconds he references the George Floyd protests and is threatening the use of force AGAINST protesters.

No, unfortunately I haven't misinterpreted his comments. ;-/
