Wow. The standout here is SNS. For Trump to crash to under 20% with a paid-up member of Europe’s populist right makes the National-Conservative International concept look significantly less sustainable

Honored that in his last days of fame and fortune at CBP the disgraced Gregory Bovino chose to attack, among others, me.

NEW: The Atlantic reports Greg Bovino has been REMOVED from his role as Border Patrol “Commander at Large” and will return to his former job in El Centro, California, where he is expected to retire soon. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and “adviser” Corey Lewandowski are at risk of losing their jobs.

i’ve known this line was craven bullshit since tankies deployed it against hong kong and i sure as hell know it’s bullshit today

Mask couldn't be more off, this vatnik is only worried about nazis in Ukraine.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues. Cheerful. Funny. Gentle. And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

NEW: Within minutes of Alex Pretti being shot and killed, the Trump administration began rewriting the narrative, labelling the victim as a "lunatic" and a "terrorist" contradicting all available evidence www.wired.com/story/the-in...

Checking out literature like Blueprint for Revolution by Srdja Popovic, The Methods of Nonviolent Action by Gene Sharp, or 40 Ways to Fight Fascists by @transform6789.bsky.social would be good starting points for strategy, tactics and some opsec.

New: an FBI agent who took the routine step of investigating the ICE officer who shot Renee Good has resigned after FBI leadership discouraged the investigation www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Alex Pretti was a nurse who tried to help a woman attacked by a federal officer. They killed him for it.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

"The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis this morning has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation ... State records show Pretti was issued a nursing license in 2021, and it remains active through March 2026."

there are a lot of descriptions of the video - here’s one - so you should absolutely turn off autoplay if you don’t want to see it especially because there is, in the video, a woman who was recording it from a much clearer and closer location and I imagine that video will come out as well

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

Looking at the video footage so far I think its questionable whether he was armed at the moment he was killed.

Minnesota leaders are condemning the detainment of a 5-year-old from Columbia Heights, who was taken with his father by federal immigration agents shortly after arriving home from school.

Well, this is really something. A majority of *working class whites* disapprove of ICE, per new NYT poll. Dovetails with the unpublished data that I got from Quinnipiac finding similar on working class more broadly (see below). (cc @gelliottmorris.com )

A new report from the OPCW IIT concludes Syrian forces, particularly Assad's Tiger Forces, were responsible for the October 2016 chlorine attack on Kafr Zita www.opcw.org/sites/defaul...

There you have it, the Board of Peace is nothing more than a corrupt real estate deal dressed up as diplomacy with the sole purpose of enriching Trump and his favoured cronies.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

Matt Taibbi criticizes the ICE protests in Minneapolis, and says Martin Luther King Jr. would not have approved of them. Taibbi claims MLK would not support "guilt because of racial identity" or "bringing religion into it".

Refaat Al-Assad, the uncle of dictator Bashar al-Assad, has died. He was widely known for his notorious reputation and his central role in some of the gravest crimes in modern Syrian history.

This was a really interesting piece

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

This made me curious enough to check and Codepink hasn't said a single fucking thing about Greenland

Tankies I know spent yesterday trying to explain why Iran's supreme leader conceded that thousands were killed in the protests after they'd sworn up and down it was lies from the western media (seriously... that was the discussion). They're way too busy to worry about Greenland.

US ambassador Tom Barrack's statement on the situation in Syria.

Seeming like the Shammar Sanadid Forces have defected from the SDF to the govt, meaning the YPG has lost its earliest Arab ally (dating back to 2013)... also means DAANES loses a big chunk of Arab populated areas at the end of the M4 on Iraqi border (between Rmeilan and Ya'rubiyah)

Reportedly, there's a new deal between Damascus and SDF. According to this, Syrian army will not enter the centres of Hasaka and Qamishli, nor Kurdish villages. In addition, PYD gets to nominate the governor of Hasaka and a deputy defence minister.

New deal in Syria between the Al-Sharaa's government and SDF. Seems like SDF will be merged into Syrian forces on an individual basis.

>the president has gone certifiably batshit insane and is deploying airborne brigades to U.S. cities to support his secret police while starting multiple conflicts and creating a crisis to annex the territory of an ally at the same time he’s renaming multiple government buildings after himself

Tucker Carlson defending a Russian asset. How surprising!

“We cannot permit the sovereignty of Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan,” — the Kremlin’s key ideologue, Alexandr Dugin said in a podcast. But please, tell me more about how Russia merely doesn’t want NATO to expand into Tajikistan. 🤡 Link below

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

DELETED After lying about this baby they gassed and almost killed in their own neighborhood, DHS deleted their post

terrific conversation with @whstancil.bsky.social about what's going on in his home minneapolis right now. at the end he puts it very bluntly: ICE is not an immigration agency that just needs some technocratic reforms. ICE is a terror agency operating under the fig leaf of immigration.
