Old Fucking Punk @lwriemen@librem.one

So DHS went from declaring Renee Good a domestic terrorist who deserved to be murdered in cold blood to saying that it was an unfortunate tragedy as an agent suffering from PTSD originating from a prior automotive-related incident made a fear-based decision to use lethal force.

I have two questions:

1. Do all people with PTSD just get immunity for murders now? Like, is there a stamp or quota system? I’ve struggled with PTSD for decades, and I’ve clearly been finishing every season below my bag count.
2. Is DHS ever going to be held accountable for their malicious lies against the victim? This pattern has been going on since forever, and it seems like it’s about time for Feds to be held accountable for their lies.

This is trash, fuck Trump, fuck Noem, and I feel so bad for this family who lost their sister, partner, and mother.

There is only one word to describe the US attacks on Venezuela (and ICE's public execution of Renee Good in Minneapolis). That word is criminal.

TRY HIM FOR #MURDER: "The🚨Trump admin has committed many murders, & they haven’t been held accountable -but this time should be diff. That’s bc this murder took place in MN, & there're st #laws that prevent the murder of nonviolent ppl. These laws should operate even when the murderer is a fed agent.

Fed agents🚨don't have immunity from state murder charges—when they commit murder.

Good was a white lady, so I’m hoping that allows ppl to see what clearly happened."

DHS agents are stomping on Renee Good's memorial.

Friendly reminder that there is a Dutch-based website called #ICEList that is building a handy database of #ICE agents.

It can be hard to imagine how to defend oneself against an overwhelming force like ICE. But a few enterprising hackers have started projects to do counter-surveillance against ICE, and hopefully protect their communities through clever use of technology. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/01/how-hackers-are-fighting-back-against-ice

Amazon’s Ring doorbell camera system won the “Worst in Show” for privacy at #CES2026 for “doubling down on privacy invasion and supporting the misconception that more surveillance always makes us safer,” EFF’s Cindy Cohn told @AssociatedPress. https://apnews.com/article/ces-worst-show-ai-0ce7fbc5aff68e8ff6d7b8e6fb7b007d

With the federal government threatening to send ICE "door to door", here's a reminder:

"If an officer knocks on your door: Do not open the door. Teach your children not to open the door. Officers must have a warrant signed by a judge to enter your home. ICE “warrants” are not signed by judges; they are ICE forms signed by ICE officers and they do not grant authority to enter a home without consent of the occupant(s)."

"By now we have become so accustomed to reports of exploitation of gig workers that it is almost quaint to think back to the mid-2000s when Big Tech marketed the gig economy as unshackling workers from the scrutiny of micromanaging bosses while bringing entrepreneurship to the masses."

Indeed.

Callenson had the courage and conviction to stay with the scene and keep filming. Not to run away, but instead to follow the scene. To continue documenting what was unfolding.

I’d like to think I’d have done the same. I’m not sure at all that I would have.

Shortly before Christmas I got myself the Fair Mouse from @fairit as a DIY kit. Today I put it together. It was fun building soldering the mouse myself.

The Fair Mouse is now on my workshop/lab computer as a daily driver
