The people of Minneapolis have been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The first time a city's population has ever been nominated.

Judge Reyes’s conclusion: “There is an old adage among lawyers. If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts. If you have the law on your side, pound the law. If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

BREAKING: Don Lemon speaks: “I have spent my entire life covering the news. I will not stop now. “ I will not be silenced." I stand with Don Lemon.

NOW: National Shutdown Rally and anti-ICE protest fills Foley Square in New York City. People gathered this morning to clear the square of snow 👏 There are protests happening right now in: LA, DC, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Charlotte, Asheville, Detroit, Chicago, San Diego, Salt Lake City & more!

President Trump, your Melania movie has bombed

“If they showed [the Melania documentary] on a plane, people would still walk out." - Variety

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Representative Ilhan Omar said that "fear and intimidation" wouldn’t make her quit public service, a day after a man sprayed her with liquid during a town hall in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

Australia is suffering from a femicide crisis. Media outlets carry a responsibility to centre the victims, avoid blame shifting, and report the killings of women and children with care and restraint. When they fail to do that, they stop informing the public and start compounding the harm.

We're interested in IDing these two men who were repeat instigators of violence towards Aboriginal protestors at the Invasion Day march. Please send credible tips to [email protected] if you recognise them.

That's "former" National Socialist Network member Cameron Cuthbertson in the red jacket, assaulting someone in Melbourne yesterday. He still hasn't been charged over his role in the assault on Camp Sovereignty last August.

BREAKING: After Trump's allies took over TikTok this week, any mention of "Epstein" in DMs are not permitted. Here's proof. Anyone else is free to try it.

Also this is the bare minimum. Stephen Miller, Kristy Noem and the rest of these petty tyrants have to go. They can’t just get rid of their low hanging expendable fruit.

A timelapse of the enormous anti-ICE, anti-Trump protest in Chicago yesterday (Sun Jan 25, 2026). They’re trying to tell you it’s a Minneapolis story, that protests are small and confined. They’re lying. (🎥 Craig Shimala)

Oh just another breakfast TV host normalising racism and hatred

The Atlantic finally catching up with what some of us have been saying for *years*

🎥 ICE in Minneapolis is "the model" Historian Robert Kagan tells @carolecadwalla.bsky.social that the Trump administration is deliberately provoking people so they can invoke Insurrection Act & not hold midterms - & just four Rep senators could stop it all youtube.com/shorts/d3lsO...

NEW Statement from the family of Alex Pretti:

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Warning - it shows Alex Pretti’s execution. So is this what @albomp.bsky.social and his Deputy believe are the “shared values” we hold with the US and means we need to keep sending them billions for AUKUS?

After the first shots are fired, the man collapses on the ground. Agents back away. At least another 5 shots are fired toward the man who is already incapacitated on the ground.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Would referring to her like this breach the new hate speech laws? Asking for a friend?

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

“We should be keeping a clear list of every person in this administration who has broken the law…and they need to be prosecuted.” @rokhanna.bsky.social and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social discuss holding tech billionaires like Elon Musk accountable at Zeteo’s live event in DC. zeteo.com/p/what-is-th...

Keep hoping Amanda

Beautiful composite image on a Crikey story today, and they're all our clients! Khaled Sabsabi, Jayson Gillham, Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. Great Australians.

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Putin, failing in his east European war, summons his American clients to organize a diversion in western Europe.

Authorities originally rated the January 9 blaze at 103, which placed it in the catastrophic category; however, after analysing the data, authorities updated it to 481 FDI. By comparison, the 2009 Black Saturday Fires were rated at 240 FDI. www.wimmeramalleenews.com.au/new-grass-fl...

Jim Jordan is named by Sascha Riley‼️

I’m still looking into the Sascha Riley stuff. This appears to be his Twitter account. It corroborates the accusations, with much earlier timestamps. I screenshot to show the dates and how few likes or retweets the original posts had.

This Sascha Riley story is horrific. open.substack.com/pub/lisevold...

The story of Sascha Riley is incredibly disturbing. Release the Epstein files. 😳👇

@kathygriffin.bsky.social Kathy, please check out our beloved national treasure Cathy. Sticking it to our Murdoch with her fierce cartoons.

About 100 writers and four board members quit Adelaide Festival after it barred author Randa Abdel-Fattah.

⚠️A decorated Iraq war veteran, Sascha Riley, was trafficked in the Epstein/Trump ring when he was between 9-13. His testimony included statements about witnessing snuff films. THIS is why tRUMP is trying to burn down the world. You can read and listen here: lisevoldeng.substack.com/p/dont-worry...

Welp, the Chaser's article on the Adelaide Writer's Week, calling it the Adelaide Writer's Afternoon, has infiltrated the Edge AI summary. 'Hilariously', the AI summary combines the parody article with real news, so it could very easily trick people not in the know. #saparli

BREAKING Fed Chair Jerome Powell says he’s under federal investigation. The Fed chair says subpoenas and the threat of criminal charges are retaliation for refusing to set interest rates according to the president’s wishes. Story: bit.ly/4aOOWAV

And Cathy's cartoon is the problem? FFS.

Statement from the Australian National Imams Council (ANIC), which described the incident as a white-supremacist hate crime:

The conservative parties, the fossil fuel companies, the conservative press all slowed action for decades. They are to blame for the chaos we are currently experiencing, and for what will come.

We have to be clear about what the Trump Administration is doing: They are taking basic American virtues and freedoms — the ability to speak truth to power and freely — and turning them into crimes. We must see through this.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.
