The fact that Renee Nicole Good's
family closed their GoFundMe after it
reached more than they ever
imagined and requested we instead
send donations to others in need is
exactly the difference between the
Good family and grifter Erika Kirk.

Anyone in or near the occupied Mohican / Lenape land of "New" "York" "City" 🗽, consider saving the date, Sunday 18th January 2026 (afternoon/early evening), for the possibly-first-ever local Co-op Cloud gathering & workshop 🤩 More details coming soon!

Trump Regime funding threats set child care providers and parents on edge

Without federal subsidies, Breyanna Rodriguez's child care bill for her four children would run $4,400 a month, which would eat up most of her husband's paycheck. With child care assistance, Rodriguez, who lives in Cortland, Illinois, is able to work part-time and take community college classes while she prepares for nursing school.

If the Maduro precedent catches on, U.S. reporters could be kidnapped and prosecuted overseas for activities that enjoy legal protection at home.

Former federal computer crime prosecutor Mark Rasch explains.

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."

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.
