What? The AI companies have misrepresented what they're doing and how it was done? That's unpossible!

Who has been killed in Iran’s protests?

follow up with his wife is even sadder "I don’t feel safe walking down the street I don’t want to leave my house I can’t get groceries Because I’ve never felt so scared in my life"

US citizen describes when ICE agents followed him then smashed into his car: "They're not police. There's no problem cause for them to stop me. There's no reason for it. I didn't make any traffic violation... They sped up and they just ran into my car and hit me, trying to stop me."

“Nice Federal Reserve you got there. Would be a shame if anything happened to it.” — the GOP’s official talking point.

This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

A woman who was reportedly attempting to drive to a doctor's appointment was pulled out of her vehicle by ICE agents and taken into custody during a disturbing incident captured on video Tuesday in Minneapolis.

Trump is touting a “Homes for People” plan to bar big investors from buying houses, but housing experts say the gimmick can’t offset the inflation, construction slowdowns and family disruptions driven by his tariff hikes and mass deportation policies.

Trump and Republicans raised taxes on clean energy last year, destroying our best opportunity to hold down people's energy bills as data centers gobble up electricity. Anything he says he's doing on energy costs now is a fraud.

Trump uses affordability speech to air grievances and empty boasts

US carbon pollution rose in 2025 in reversal of previous years’ reductions #Climate

Imagine if Putin, Xi, or the Dutch PM/German Chancellor posted similar directed at the protesters in 🇺🇸! Self awareness & irony are dead.

Ansari: I think ICE is completely out of control, and there should be no more funding given to ICE. The funding that's already has been given to them through the big ugly bill should be stripped entirely

NEWSNATION: There's new video of a woman in MN saying she's trying to get to a doc appointment & federal agents bust into her car. Is it fair to say some of these operations are going too far? REP. MARY MILLER: If you break the laws & resist arrest, it's not going to be pretty. This is what happens

Greenland PM Jens-Frederik Nielsen: "If we have to choose between the US & Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU." "Greenland does not want to be owned by the US. Greenland does not want to be governed by the US" he later added.

“.. Federal agents grab a woman to drag her away from her car, days after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.” @reuters.com

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst. Every dictator in history has lied. Donald Trump is no different.

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

"When it was built in the late 1950s the bunker was more than 100 yards from the sea." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We are paying any person working in government; hence the term “public servant”. If their actions are contrary to what the public wants then we can and should protest. We do not pay randos who decide to be murdery; they do not work for us.

Tricia McLaughlin on Renee Good: "I think if the individual was killed last week by an illegal alien, I don't think we would be seeing any protest."

Carole Cadwalladr is one of the most valuable journalists of our times - she was the first to spot the unholy alliance between big tech & the far right, & she did great work exposing the links between Brexit & Putin's regime (for which she paid a heavy personal price). This will be a must-watch.

Senior Minnesota US attorneys quit over DOJ demand they ‘investigate’ widow of motorist shot dead by ICE agent

again the Peep Show bit about how it's a slur and that it's so unacceptable that even Jez, an idiot, knows it's unacceptable, was broadcast in *2004*

People are recording, but not blocking. In fact, some people are just standing aside. ICE is just a bunch of illegal goons. They have no legal justification for what they are doing.

Attacks on Venezuela, Nigeria and Iran, genocide in Gaza, threats to Colombia, Canada, Mexico and Greenland. When will the world act? The US and Israel need to be sanctioned, boycotted and forced into compliance with international law.

ICE activity reported in South Minneapolis. Officers in gas masks have cordoned off the intersection of E 36th Street and Park Ave. They are currently moving down the street on foot and may be conducting door-to-door operations.

🔴The EU’s ‘Farage Clause’ Shows the Damage Reform Is Already Doing to the UK As well as making us poorer each year, Farage’s Brexit is also making us more vulnerable to those who wish to do us harm, argues @chrisgrey.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/01/13/t...

Thank you for doing that, anonymous hero

All European countries have condemned Iran's violent repression of protestors, Germany Israel's closet ally in Europe, is pushing for the EU to label Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. #IranProtests

The Iranian Khamenei regime summoned the ambassadors of the UK, France, Germany, and Italy, showed them video footage of unknown plain clothed individuals causing damages and firing on protestors & security forces. Iran asked the envoys to relay the footage to their foreign ministers #IranProtests

So this looks interesting, particularly if gray water is used.

Some context: it took me almost a year and multiple applications to get a GS-5 ($34K annual salary) clerk job at the Department of Veterans Affairs. At the time, I had an MBA and a decade of management experience.

Donald and his entire administration are actors, opinion writers and podcasters. This is all a stage to them to get "likes"

Reagan told us Russia was the Evil Empire b/c the gov’t spied on its citizens, controlled the media, and sent secret police out to arrest people without charges and hold them in horrific conditions with no rights. And then Reagan’s disciples spent decades building that here.

New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis. The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.
