Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Renee Good’s vehicle after an immigration agent fatally shot her, but Trump administration officials ordered them to stop investigating. About a dozen prosecutors have since resigned, leaving the Minnesota U.S. attorney’s office in turmoil.

This really shouldn't surprise anyone.

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Cellphone footage is an incredibly important source of accountability to report the news. Journalists rely on videos filmed by regular people. Government attacks on those who document the news, whether journalists or not, are attacks on press freedom and the First Amendment. By @juliaangwin.com

Of we van fascisme kunnen spreken? "Ik denk het, ja," oordeelt historicus Christophe Busch. Hij volgt met groeiende bezorgdheid de politieke situatie in de VS ("democratisch verval") na de dodelijke incidenten met ICE, die hij een 'politieke politie in opbouw' noemt www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...

"Two members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team working at the Social Security Administration were secretly in touch with an advocacy group seeking to “overturn election results in certain states,” and one signed an agreement that may have involved using Social Security data to match state voter rolls..."

A top doctor said the 79-year-old’s recent behavior “should trigger a bipartisan congressional inquiry into presidential fitness.”

Elke dag denkt ge, nu kan het toch niet nog erger, maar met dit bericht houd ik nu mijn hart al vast voor morgen. Wat een absolute shitshow.

BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good? BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

New: meet ELITE, the Palantir app ICE is using to find neighborhoods to raid. Map interface; officers search for immigrants; click person to bring up individual dossier. This is clearest link between what Palantir is building and ICE's activities on the ground yet www.404media.co/elite-the-pa...

The race is on to save records of Alpine glacier ice before they melt away. An archive is being created in Antarctica for ice cores taken from around the world. The cores store invaluable scientific information that would be lost to future study. phys.org/news/2026-01... #climatechange #glaciers

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

“A diplomatic source said: 'The generals think Trump's Greenland plan is crazy and illegal. So they are trying to deflect him with other major military operations. They say it's like dealing with a five-year-old'.” That’s an insult to 5-year olds. A dangerous and corrupt moron.

TRUMP: “We need Greenland” The guardrails are gone

Treinfanaten (to be), ge hebt nog juist 2 uur om een jaarkaart Train+ te kopen met 50% korting. Sla uw slag nog snel in de app van de #NMBS ! Met die geteouwheidskaart krijgt ge 40% korting op daluur- en weekendritten. Nu nog 24 euro voor een jaar, vanaf morgen 48 euro.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

Wat een knal in Antwerpen een halve minuut geleden.

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites. He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

Current plans to tackle global warming will only save 3 percent of Europe's Alpine glaciers from disappearing this century, with most melting away within the next two decades, a new study has found.

As of today, there are more electric cars than diesel cars in Norway.

The glue of the emerging Russo-American alliance is corruption. The consequences will be more imperialist aggression and more war crimes.

Trump calls for Democratic members of Congress to be hanged

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Ik hoor op vrt radionws dat Riziv enkel naar parket kan stappen als zorgverleningsfraude niet wordt terugbetaald. Dat kan toch niet kloppen ? Fraude is toch altijd misdrijf ook als het terugbetaald wordt ? En ambtenaren hebben altijd meldingsplicht bij misdrijven ?

Breaking News: House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew of the convicted sex offender's conduct and “spent hours at my house” with a victim.

Laat u gerust eens gaan, maar klaag dan nadien de burger niet aan die bezorgd is over de capaciteit v/d burgemeester om bij lokale rampen snel en adequaat te reageren? Zoiets vastleggen lijkt me niet onverenigbaar met de vrijheid van meningsuiting? @jogchumv.bsky.social www.hbvl.be/regio/limbur...

1/ In de VS is het zo normaal, het 'unsealen' van gerechtelijke documenten met een publiek belang. Vandaag was dat het geval in de zaak-Epstein, met kennelijk linken naar "two US presidents", maar denk ook aan bodycambeelden met daarop soms overmatig politiegeweld. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/b...

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Dit kan niet fout gaan, toch?

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

Holy wow, +3.5 ppm CO₂ last year, up from +2.4 ppm average the past decade, and +0.6 ppm in the 1960s. It gets scarier the closer you look at it. All this is a stress test for the planet, and it's buckling. Two big reasons for the massive increase: wildfires, and the ocean sinks are shutting down.

Ik twijfel wat of ik een “verbod om informatie te publiceren die niet officieel door het ministerie is vrijgegeven” zou omschrijven als “aanscherpen van regels” dan wel een “grove aanval op de vrije pers/staatscensuur”

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time. VANCE: No, George, I sai-- STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 has been awarded to Venezuelan democracy activist María Corina Machado. The Nobel Committee recognised her “struggle to achieve a just & peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.” In other words, exactly the opposite of what Trump is doing to the United States.

It may have escaped your attention, but the Belgian energy system has quietly passed an important test. During the weekend of 4-5 October 2025, our consumption was almost entirely covered by renewable energy. And yet the system ticked like a Swiss watch. /

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Nobody cares and nothing will happen but this is classically, paradigmatically fascist language. Comparing opponents to vermin and pests is straight out of the textbook.

The regime’s playbook: Launch militarized raids in America’s cities to provoke a reaction. Then claim the reaction is insurrection to justify even more authoritarian action. The regime is using state-sanctioned violence to create a crisis. There is no justification for violence by anyone.

Newspaper @nrc.nl gets it right: "The Hague riots are not hooliganism but politically motivated violence. Intelligence agency AIVD has been warming for this."

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

The Trump administration ordered several National Park Service sites to take down materials related to slavery and Native Americans, including an 1863 photograph of a formerly enslaved man with scars on his back, one of the most powerful images of the Civil War era. nyti.ms/4nyyyaQ
