"Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America."
Agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter in a massive show of force.
Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building.
But after the cameras were gone, federal prosecutors did not charge anyone.

Nation? Half of us DID NOT vote for him. He doesn't represent us as a whole; only those who are blinded by right wing Christian nationalist propoganda, which tragically for ALL of us is enough to get him elected.
I'll be angry if NATO doesn't stand up to him b/c he will back down if they do.
He very last act is to turn the wheels away from the ICE officer.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.
Hard video to watch, but about as close as you can get to conclusively disproving the Trump admin's claims that she deliberately attempted to run down the officer. She even talks nicely with him moments before!
Note also that the officer is focused more on filming her than on anything else.
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
PSA: There are few phrases that will make me instantly ignore you more quickly than “let that sink in.”
NEW: Woman shot dead by ICE agent in Minneapolis identified as Renee Good, 37.
According to her mom, Renee had 3 children and was not part of any ICE protest groups
With news of yet another DHS shooting breaking, a reminder that DHS’s initial statements should not be trusted without further verification, given previous post-shooting statements which crumbled under further investigation. In addition, be wary of short context-free video clips shared virally.

Schoolhouse Rock never prepared us for this shit.
When Van Gogh painted Cypresses (1889), he said they were “like Egyptian obelisks.” Their flame-like forms rise through swirling skies, turning stillness into motion.
"The United States has now given Russia, China, and anyone else who wants to give it a try a road map for invading countries that displease them," argues Tom Nichols:
"Tragically, America is still living in a political era that began on Jan. 6, 2021," the editorial board writes. "Recognizing as much is necessary to bring this era to an end before it has many more anniversaries."
Both of the homes Trump claimed as principal residences in the ’90s were used as investment properties and rented out, according to an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario he’s pointed to as evidence of fraud.
The 21st day of the annual Space Telescope Advent Calendar features galaxies of varying shapes and sizes, some appearing stretched and warped.
Check back every day until December 25 for a new image of our universe:
Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.
He is literally ranting and raving, and I am really really glad this is being carried by the networks
Trump "showed a level of viciousness toward [Rob] Reiner in death that we rarely see in anyone, and have never before seen in an American president," Peter Wehner argues—and it's a mistake to dismiss his words.
Donald Trump’s response to Rob Reiner’s death wasn’t just another example of norm-breaking rhetoric from the president—“it actively widened the breach,” John Dickerson argues: theatln.tc/v3ftkZJS
Trump 0-3 on indicting Tish James and just had his ass handed to him by Indiana Republican legislators he threatened and bullied. Also new low in AP poll at 36% approval.
Read @nicolefoy.bsky.social's investigation that prompted the congressional probe.
We found that agents had detained >170 Americans this year. More than 20 citizens said they were held for at least a day without being able to contact a lawyer or their loved ones.
Trump calling Somali immigrants “garbage” shows that he sees little risk in open expressions of racism, @adamserwer.bsky.social argues.
They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.
Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.
They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.
At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
The Sunflowers (August–September 1888) were painted to brighten Gauguin’s bedroom.
The painting was both a welcome gift and a test of the expressive potential of the color yellow.
