Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

You have the right to record ICE. You have the right to film any operation happening in public as long as you do not interfere or impede it. Your camera is proof, but keep a safe distance. KEEP RECORDING.

The European Commission has proposed using frozen Russian assets - or alternatively borrowing - to raise €90 billion for Ukraine, to support its military and essential services. The plan, pitched as a “reparations loan,” aims to cover two‑thirds of Kyiv’s funding needs over the next two years.

"Fractures have emerged in the Maga coalition," writes Guardian columnist Moira Donegan. "Republicans are beginning to imagine what the country – and more importantly, their own careers – will look like without him."

JUST IN: Democrats have flipped the mayor's office in Roswell, Georgia, in tonight's runoff. GOP Mayor Kurt Wilson conceded earlier tonight to Mary Robichaux, the Dem challenging him. (This is a city in the Atlanta suburbs, the 9th most populous city in Georgia.)

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

A 6-year-old boy is missing after ICE arrested him and his dad in NYC last week and shipped them off to separate facilities. www.thecity.nyc/2025/12/02/i... @thecity.nyc @gwynnefitz.bsky.social

Propaganda is increasingly a global issue. Education in the forms it takes, levers and strategies deployed, has never been more important. I created this Udemy course to empower people to see through coordinated operations, understand influence and evaluate credibility. www.udemy.com/course/propa...

Buried at the bottom of DealBook today was an item that SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw will be stepping down at the start of 2026. The SEC is supposed to have 5 commissioners: 3 from the President's party and 2 from the opposing party. Once she leaves, all 3 commissioners will be Rs. (1/2)

“Back Talk,” an online broadcast hosted by McCormick Seminary President Rev. Dr. Maisha I. Handy, featured an interview with Rev. David Black, who was struck by pepper balls fired at him while peacefully protesting at an ICE facility on Sept. 19. Read more: pcusa.org/news-storyte... #PCUSA

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Good luck everyone!! #ToonieTuesday #ukraine

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

JUST IN: Constantine Chakhunashvili has been summoned for interrogation at the State Security Service. He is the doctor responsible for the study on the symptoms experienced by Georgian protesters - the study that eventually led to the evidence on the use of bromobenzyl cyanide. 1/

A president should not be able to pardon anyone convicted of murder or rape

The Netherlands has taken over defense of NATO’s key logistics hub in Rzeszow, eastern Poland, deploying 300 troops, 2 Patriot systems, NASAMS, and anti-drone gear. Part of the NSATU program, the mission runs through June 1, 2026, ensuring secure delivery of aid to Ukraine.

Translating Nancy Mace: If they’re brown, black or Muslim, I want them out. If they’re not white Europeans, I want them out. I know that’s what she’s saying bcuz I used to do some of the same and use some of the same code words. And then I realized it was wrong. And I stopped.

Ukraine sends people with intelligence, integrity, competence, knowledge, experience and principle and the US sends vermin.

Today is World AIDS Day. More than 44 million people have died of AIDS—brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, cousins, from infancy to their 80s. HIV infections, which can lead to AIDS, are highly preventable *where there is political will, funding and evidence-based programs.*

I love having the Family together for the holidays but boy, I'm tired. Instead of Cyber Monday I wish we had Mom's Rest Day. Phew! 😅

Community notes don’t get much more brutal than this

OTD in 1918 USSR invaded Latvia. This is how Russia became the world's largest country. We keep peacefully attacking our neighbours.

Tsar-worshipping accountant (aka chinless weasel #Dmitriev) will never understand this: 🇺🇦 Leadership is accountable to the people — not the other way around. When corruption is exposed and addressed, it doesn’t weaken Zelensky. It strengthens Ukraine.

In 1811, the same year novelist Jane Austen published Sense and Sensibility, #Sussex farmer George Tupper discovered this late #Roman floor @bignorvilla.bsky.social It depicts Ganymede abducted by Jupiter in the guise of an eagle 📷 Sept 2014 #MosaicMonday

In West Virginia, a sudden skyrocketing of health care costs flows directly from Trump's signature legislation. Citizens scramble to cope with it. www.ft.com/content/beec...

I have strong reason to believe that this is the mirror image of the "deal" that Trump is trying to strike with Xi for the surrender of Taiwan.

Important; To counter the false Russian/American narrative, spread the word to all your friends and people in power: Russia is trending to lose the war, and time is working for Ukraine. Not the other way around! 👇👇 www.kyivpost.com/opinion/64445

The media didn’t like covering boring well spoken and restrained politicians and had to make anything into a scandal for ratings. Trump just does it for them without trying so they love it

Muscovy has the right to return to their historical borders. Shall we say year 1450 is sufficient?

this reminds me of a friend who thought he was middle class so he donated his car to a charity that helps poor people and a month later, he saw his car at his neighbor's house

This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime. In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.

“Without a true reckoning of what happened in Afghanistan, it became clear the US could easily deploy the same failed tactics in some new country against some new threat.” Very disturbing report on tactics, including night raids, whose main goal was to terrorize Afghan civilians.
