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. ICEβs own photos
2. Bystander video
3. Lawyer for another immigrant at the scene
4. Anne Arundel County Police
Now ICE is revising its story.

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!

Well the house just passed a bill that soundly rejects these cuts, keeping NASA funding roughly the same as last yearπ§ͺπ

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.

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.

Below, Acynβs tweet quotes Rep. Mike Johnson: βIf you look at polling, peopleβs faith in the federal government is at an all-time low. Why? Because they donβt see that itβs being done well.β
A C-SPAN screenshot shows Johnson speaking with another man standing beside him.
Last I checked the GOP controls all branches of our government.
