HuffPost senior reporter Jennifer Bendery spoke to a Minneapolis resident who was tear gassed near where federal agents earlier shot and killed a man.

Federal agents are repeatedly using gas to disperse the crowd at the scene in south Minneapolis where agents shot and a killed man. Agents are deploying an irritant each time residents reappear in the intersection. Video by Elliot Hughes, Susan Du, Louis Krauss and Josie Albertson-Grove

Federal agents shot and killed a man who was filming ICE officers outside a donut shop in Minneapolis. It was at least the 19th incident in which immigration agents opened fire during the Trump administration’s crackdown.

What’s happening in Minneapolis might be the template for what the Trump admin wants to bring to your hometown next. How they resist should be your template too. trib.al/H3I9kxG Sign up for the ICE watch that’s happening near you—because almost certainly, ICE is already there.

Many thanks! I've been grappling with many facets of AI for several years now and would very much welcome a mini bibliography of authoritative publications by real experts. Most recent article I appreciated and shared is here, but this is a drop in the bucket: www.theguardian.com/news/2025/no...

The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people. Defenders of democracy #NOKINGS 🗽

People are opening up Meta AI Ray Ban glasses and modding out the LED recording light, then selling them on eBay. There is huge interest in disabling this functionality, which means basically you cannot trust anyone wearing these (i'm sure you already weren't) www.404media.co/how-to-disab...

Does he even have permission to do this? Who gave permission? I thought the government was in shutdown! Which construction company is contracted to undertake this destruction? Is it one of his, or his families companies? One of his associates? Corruption? Fraud? The people demand answers now

The ICE gestapo is just a distraction from the Trump crime syndicate stealing trillions of dollars. All of the facts are there. If Republicans choose not to see that and go bankrupt, homeless and lose their healthcare, that’s not just their problem. It’s everyone’s problem. GOP is DEAD!

Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of invasions across the occupied West Bank early Tuesday, abducting several Palestinians and seizing private property in Al-Biereh, Nablus, Hebron, and Jenin. imemc.org/article/tues...

As discussed in our Assessment on Democratic Decline, non-compliance with court orders is a core element contributing to the weakening of judicial independence. It threatens to hollow out judicial authority, leaving constitutional rights contingent on executive discretion.

Can’t believe it - but FOX news is right. I hear Leavitt was scrambling, altogether the US delegation was overwhelmed by the Russians.

We were just suspended without warning from threads and Instagram. We have no idea why. If any of y’all are on those apps and want to let them know to fix that we would be appreciative.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.
