Eight people have died in dealings with ICE so far in 2026. These are their stories The high-profile killings of Minneapolis residents Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good are only two among many

We know the names of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But 6 others were killed by ICE or died in their custody this year: Luis Gustavo NΓΊΓ±ez CΓ‘ceres, Geraldo Lunas Campos, VΓ­ctor Manuel DΓ­az, Parady La, Luis BeltrΓ‘n YÑñez–Cruz, and Heber SΓ‘nchez DomΓ­nguez. They deserve justice.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

May his retirement be very, very long and may he never sleep more than an hour of it. May he wake up sweating to find his only company is the silence of vengeful ghosts.

Also may a Minnesota tick give him a red meat allergy, because he seems like the type who would absolutely melt down.

Democrats Successfully Strip All Anti-Trans Riders From Final Appropriations Bills The HHS and Education bills once contained the most sweeping anti-trans provisions in congressional history. Now they contain none.

1. In a major victory, Democrats have managed to get all anti-trans riders stripped from the final appropriations bills.

This includes HHS and Ed, which had the worst provisions in congressional history.

If it passes, it will be a big win for 2026.
