🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

@benify.bsky.social’s latest video is essential viewing YouTube’s Ai/algorithm doesn’t want you, me, or anyone in the US public to see it The fact that this vid was singled out & age-restricted [shadowbanned] by labeling it “disturbing”—when it’s anything but disturbing or graphic—speaks volumes

@benify.bsky.social sending here in case YouTube blocks my comment on your latest vid—for criticizing YT’s “age-restriction” censorship & Orwellian monitoring of those who view so-called “disturbing” content It’s extra-egregious bc your vid so clearly advocates for peaceable, non-escalatory protest

Once again I ask that you please share this... ...people deserve to know the truth of how dangerous this is.

Ukraine's delegation has arrived in the US for the latest negotiations towards a supposed peace plan. The team is led by former Intel Supermo @Kyrylo_Budanov, now Head of the President's Office. It's now 312 days since Trump first demanded ad original ceasefire + Ukraine agreed

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

Ukrainian ingenuity continues to impress.

“Nobody’s ever threatened to start more wars than me. I think you should take a Nobel Peace prize from a laureate for every war you start. I should take Obama’s peace prize from him when a start a war in the US.”

I guarantee they’ve been 1) promised legal & civil immunity + Presidential pardons 2) given explicit permission—if not instruction—to “move fast & break things”—to draw out “troublemakers” & create pretext for arrests 3) incentivized w system of rewards for the number of detentions they each make

It’s even more stark asking: “Imagine if any other *Republican* President had said this” Yes—Rs hold Ds to wholly different standards—but jostle them to recall W Bush…HW…Reagan Ask them when *this one—alone* transcended their principles on states’ rights…limited fed govt…law-&-order…accountabilty

Congresswoman Becca Balint would like Republicans to stop giving Trump power now that it’s been discovered that he has a secret overseas slush fund.

“Freedom advocates” “worry” about a “chilling effect”? Lets try that headline again: “Authoritarian Regime Lurches Toward Totalitarianism as Crackdown on Public Documenting of Its Abuses Now Engulfs Press.”

Trump & MAGA’s American nativism literally claims Native Americans are neither Native nor American, & jails them as “illegal immigrants” …Seriously. This is how evilly cruel AND stupid this regime genuinely is…On purpose, and accelerating—all gas, no brakes, guardrails ripped out, ICE-y road ahead

100% this!!

Full vid is here: www.youtube.com/live/I5lB3WB... Screenshot of YT transcript attached: **[6 seconds of Trump’s attempted impression of Biden’s throat clearing is not noted in the transcript, but occurs between 28:20 and 28:32 in the linked vid]**

The “growling like Chewbacca” vid of Trump today at Detroit Economic Club has ppl asking if it’s Ai, bc it’s just the 6 secs w/o any other context or timestamp—it’s lifted from around 27-28 mins into the speech, in which Trump attempts an impression of Biden clearing his throat Still weird AF tho

@monumentquest.bsky.social what a cool account—Love the content!

this really is quite something. This is a mayor of a major U.S. city saying that he cannot do what he is legally empowered to do because he doesn’t have enough guns to do it. The thing is arresting agents of the federal government who are breaking laws.

And little Donny continues his tantrum, despite starting war with Venezuela, threatening war against at least a dozen of our closest allies, & promising—same day—to start a ground war inside Mexico This—at minimum—is cognitive incapacity to hold office…not to mention impeachable executive overreach

A 4-year-old, whining about wanting a Prize, and not getting a Prize, because the meanie got a Prize, and its not fair, he didn’t deserve a Prize like me, I should get a prize more than him..I want a Prize toooooo ([hardly] paraphrased)

Gee that’s weird. By “weird” I mean hypocritical. By “hypocritical” I mean the current course of war and the rationalization for it is *utterly insane*

Trump: “This oil will be sold at market price, that $ will be controlled by me, POTUS” Profits from seized Venezuelan oil ($3 Billion per tanker) to be put in ⚠️off-shore bank accounts OUTSIDE the US Treasury—beyond control or oversight by Congress—or any of the rest of Federal govt⚠️ —PBS NewsHour

May prove helpful/useful [unfortunately] Stay safe, stay legal, stay informed, friends.

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

This is lovely.

🧵Know his name. Know his face. This article is making excuses for this thug. Same thug who punched out a person's car window in Chicago recently. The Star Tribune is insinuating that he was traumatized by it and has PTSD.

The agent, Jonathan Ross, was dragged by a vehicle and injured during a June operation in the Twin Cities, court records show.

Cognitive warfare is not a future threat and it is not a military theory waiting to be tested. It is already happening, mostly unnoticed, and largely misunderstood. What makes it difficult to recognize is that it does not look like war.

So the US taxpayer will spend billions of dollars to make the Venezuelan regime even more repressive so that it can protect American oil companies who won’t actually do anything except themselves receive billions more dollars of taxpayer subsidies. MAGA

“What Would Mitch McConnell Do” to become as absolutely obstructionist as senatorially possible throughout Obama’s presidency? WWMMD is your starting point. Build from there. The problem isn’t that Dems lack votes— they lack vision, resolve, principles—*because of THAT* they peel away zero R-votes

Hey fellas, @ducugavril.nafoforum.org & 🇺🇦 friends with time to scan posts/report/bonk @ aliennationalbank bsky social is doing some particularly nasty targeting of 🇺🇦 accts, mocking victims of Russian attacks, spreading anti-Ukrainian disinfo, (+ just about every flavor of racism/sexism/xenophobia)

Sending troops and taking over Greenland “would be an illegal order for the U.S. military,“ said U.S. General Ben Hodges in a recent interview with TVP World's Aaron Dahmen.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Turning out to be a rolling trainwreck from every conceivable angle for everyone in both our countries…as the Maduro regime—left intact by Trump—now hunts down every Venezuelan who supported Maduro’s capture… And US now having careened thru all constitutional checks constraining executive war powers

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so. snyder.substack.com/p/venezuela-...

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

So…quadrupling-down on Whitehouse rhetoric, mocking anyone who criticizes the lawless mode of the intervention as if they’re either A) to “privileged” to care or B) oppose the interventionism because they support Maduro Srsly guys, just stop. This is a really bad look.

It’s like you can’t even recognize the heavy lift you’re attempting—in carrying the Trump regime’s water for them—by pretending this was even remotely about honoring Venezuela’s democratic election process. Is this account now run by MAGA sockpuppets or something?

No…this guy is wrong about this Venezuelans don’t get to tell Americans how this ISN’T evisceration of our Constitution + kidnapping of OUR country by a POTUS blatantly subverting & usurping Congress’s sole Article 1 authority to declare war. It’s about WAY more than removing Maduro from Venezuela

If like me/many—disillusioned w Jon Stewart’s timid Trump2.0 normalization early last yr—& stopped watching Daily Show… You’re now failing to witness @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social pull that Arthurian sword from the stone at the host desk w ease, slaying this era’s commentary-comedy —a wk at a time

Flag flaps in vigorous wind to 1:00-2:00 direction…yet—same elevation, ft away—smoke cloud from antiaircraft hit on drone#1…hangs in stationary air Adorable how drone#2 then “panics” & flees its target—back the direction it came—as tho scared & running from bodily harm…as kamikaze drones tend to do

Given the US media landscape, I think it important to directly link-to the source docs, encourage the public to watch/read them & form their own opinions, rather than the old-fashioned way of consuming someone else’s opinion of current events: Jack Smith 2025/12/17 House Judiciary Deposition 1/2

This is scathing, and while not at all surprising, it is starkly illuminating.

Perhaps the more significant statement comes at the end of this clip: “I would prefer, if it’s alright, not to talk about my safety, because I think doing so could in fact endanger my safety and those of people around me.” Reminder: This man has prosecuted international war criminals at the Hague.

❗️Hollywood actor Robert De Niro congratulated Ukraine on the New Year: "With love. Glory to Ukraine!" In his address, on behalf of his family, he wished Ukrainians the long-awaited peace, freedom, and personal safety.

Do we all have Stockholm syndrome? Is our mental recall eroding with Trump’s? We’ve done this “epiphany” dance before—7 months ago Does no one remember Trump saying he was suddenly finally aware Russia didn’t want peace…that Putin was just “tapping [him] along”? It won’t stick this time, either.
