ICE brutally detain elderly protester—ambulance called to scene.

Agent drags him across pavement by one leg—another grabs him around his neck with both hands.

He was standing in the public area when tackled from behind.

Then used high-powered lights to disable cameras filming the excessive force.

Incident occurred outside the ICE Processing Center in Portland, Oregon.

GOP Senator Kennedy admits Trump is the reason for TSA shutdown: "He said said 'No deals with the Democrats.' We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the President said 'No deal.'"

"At Lyft, our purpose is to serve and connect, which means that we want to help everyone get to the people and places they love — no matter who they are or where they come from"

Lyft announced a promotion offering Kansas passengers 50% off using code TRANSJOY, after the state invalidated the driver’s licenses of more than 1,700 transgender residents under Senate Bill 244 #NOH8

BREAKING: Official reports from the Minneapolis Police and Fire departments finally reveal the truth about the killing of Renee Good — and the details are horrifying.

The MAGA narrative just completely collapsed...

NBC News reports that police files, fire response reports, and transcripts from 911 calls have revealed that Good was still alive when a Fire Emergency medical team arrived on scene. The report from that team stated that Good had "apparent gunshots" to her chest, forearm, and face and was "unresponsive, not breathing, with inconsistent, irregular, thready pulse activity." She was shot up to four times.

While Trump and Kristi Noem have tried to smear Good as a "domestic terrorist," it's clear from the footage that she was simply an innocent woman trying to extricate herself from a mob of masked men. The fact that she was struck by so many bullets shows that ICE officer Jonathan Ross wasn't trying to defend himself, he was trying to kill her.

This is what happens when you don't properly vet your recruits, strap them with weapons, tell them they're above the law, mask them, and set them loose. Bloodthirsty men sign up looking for an opportunity to inflict violence on others.

The first 911 calls from the scene came in at 9:38 a.m. local time and the killer fled the scene at 10:04 a.m. He wasn't concerned about the fact that he took a woman's life, he was concerned about saving his own skin.

“They just shot a lady. Point blank range in her car…. She’s f*cking dead," one caller told 911 dispatchers.

“I had to walk away because I have young kids, and ICE is everywhere over there," said another, painting a clear picture of the terror that ICE has inflicted on these communities.

One caller told the dispatchers that the ICE agents "shot her [because] she wouldn’t open her car door. Send an ambulance please, ambulance please.”

“ICE fired two shots through her windshield into the driver. She tried to drive away but crashed into the nearest vehicle that was parked," said another caller. Note that they didn't say that Good was attacking the agents with her car. She was trying to drive away.

Suspiciously, "large parts" of the 911 call logs have been redacted and blacked out (reminiscent of what the Trump administration did with the Epstein files). The covered up portions are labeled "Law Enforcement."

What possible reason could the authorities have for hiding details about this killing?

The answer is obvious. They want to tightly control the entire narrative around this murder so that they can paint Good as a villain and the ruthless ICE goon who slew her as an upstanding law enforcement agent. America isn't falling for it. They must release the full details immediately.

Please ❤️ and share to demand the full release of the reports!

So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder why🤨).
At least it’s online. Reshare.

For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026

by Amanda Gorman

They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.

If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.

Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love 
& better angels of our nature.

What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice; 
In the end, gorgeously, 
Endures our enormity. 

You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.

The lady at the charity shop today told me that she wishes people would clear out their children's old toys in the lead up to Christmas rather than after because she always sees a number of parents in the days before Christmas looking for toys for their little ones who might be strapped for cash. She said there's very rarely anything in just before, but that they get inundated with toys in the days after.

And it really made me think about it in a way I never would have before.

If you know your child is going to get lots of presents from Father Christmas this year, by clearing out your cupboards a few days early, you could make another child's Christmas a lot more special too.

Saw this & thought I'd repost.

"Shutdown is being used as a pretext to do what they wanted to do with government. As a matter of fact, they told us this in Project 2025," says Shalanda Young. "We can check a box throughout that document. This is exactly following that playbook, and shutdown is being used as a facade." https://t.co/JaHJ5chW8O

Fact: Undocumented immigrants are not even eligible to purchase the ACA coverage we’re trying to protect.

Republicans voted to hike costs and take health care away from American citizens.

Including their own constituents.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Every news broadcast should run the facts split-screen in real time while Trump spews his lies.

Nice work, @MSNBC — every network had time to prepare because they knew what was coming.
