ICE changes story on Christmas Eve shooting by agents in Glen Burnie Federal officials changed their account of the Christmas Eve shooting by ICE agents in Glen Burnie.

ICE shot a man in Glen Burnie and the story they told was contradicted by:

1. ICE’s own photos
2. Bystander video
3. Lawyer for another immigrant at the scene
4. Anne Arundel County Police

Now ICE is revising its story.

The latest from Alex Mann:

I'll share this again for 2026 and for any new influx--well over 100 planetary scientists here on Bluesky.

Given <waves hands around> they may not necessarily be posting much about planetary science, but that's how it goes.

If you're a planetary scientist and want to be on the list, DM me!

It's never been about safety. It's about punishing blue cities and states, cementing authoritarian control, and enshrining white supremacy.

A bit of good news this week…Y’all may remember this graphic I made, showcasing what the President’s budget request would do to NASA’s science fleet (tldr it would decimate it). Well the house just passed a bill that soundly rejects these cuts, keeping NASA funding roughly the same as last yearπŸ§ͺπŸ”­

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

One of the many reasons "Abolish ICE" has been a popular refrain on the left β€” besides the fact that borders and border security means violence β€” is that ICE and CBP were always going to be the agencies that would become the SS.

Mike Johnson keeps canceling House business to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance premium hikes.

The Crime of Human Virtue Sometimes it really is as simple as good vs. evil. This is one of those times. Human virtue is our great crime against the fascist project; it's also our great weapon against it.

"To be a Republican in 2025 represents a clear public confession that you either don't know the difference between good and evil and you're so morally empty that you can't be bothered to begin to try, or that you do know the difference, and you prefer evil." www.the-reframe.com/the-crime-of...

Lunch is on the house:

Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a FΓΊtbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us!
Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel.
We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.
