Need some data hoarders to save the CIA's World Factbook—a definitive source on many topics—since they're now killing it www.cia.gov/stories/stor...

This is how Sen. Ron Wyden clues the public into activity that he finds extremely alarming. He does a press release about a letter he sent to the director of the CIA that basically says, 'I want to make sure you saw the classified letter I sent early today.' www.wyden.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

i've seen this clip like 20 times now and it's likely one of the dumbest things a member of congress has ever said. which means the trumper you know just bought it hook line and sinker

Steve Bannon: “You’re damn right we’re gonna have ICE surround the polls come November.”

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/b... what a disaster, what a fucking failure Bezos and Lewis are- give it away! Sell it! You have destroyed a once great newspaper. Instead support independent media , which is EXPANDING

“We simply haven’t evolved our model or many operations and processes as much as we should have, and we’ve even missed out on some opportunities,” Murray said during the call as rationale behind the significant cuts

I hope every American is paying attention to Trump’s unfolding plans to steal the midterms.

The feds respond.They say they're concerned about the release of evidence in the Broadview conspiracy case because "given the current climate, it will be very difficult to pick an unbiased jury." (Defendants say they've already agreed not to release info that would identify agents.)

The most basic gun rule is don't point your weapon at something you don't intend to shoot and don't shoot something you don't intend to kill. So there are only two possibilities here: EITHER the agents were willing to murder observers OR they have never received any firearms training. 🧵

A lot of the people had never been tear gassed before. I talked to someone in the center of the cloud who had never been gassed and had only been to big protests like No Kings. She said the march had felt like the exact same vibe, right up until she was gassed for the first time in her life.

Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of paramilitary tactical units—including ICE’s two Special Response Teams (SRT), CBP’s one SRT, and the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC)—whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones.

A federal judge in Minneapolis has ordered Anthony Kazmierczak detained pending future proceedings in the assault case against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)

Fantastic news. #DavidLynch

holy shit

On a far-right podcast this past weekend, conspiracy theorist Patrick Byrne claimed that the FBI Fulton County election center raid was "exactly what we were asking [Trump] to do" in the December 2020 Oval Office meeting that Byrne, Michael Flynn, & Sidney Powell had with Trump.

DOJ is apparently taking all this time & violating the Transparency Act deadline in order to protect criminals, not the victims.

"MPR News has learned that the police chief in the small southern Minnesota city of St. Peter intervened Thursday afternoon to prevent federal immigration agents from arresting a local resident" who had been observing federal agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

new CBS contributor Peter Attia

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

i guess homan's "massive changes" include jailing the journalists rather than just assaulting them

Since I'm pretty sure this administration doesn't realize this document exists, it would be worth downloading the 2020 Intelligence Community Assessment on foreign threats to the U.S. elections before it disappears, which includes the following finding: www.dni.gov/index.php/ne...

Trump’s efforts to interfere in midterms becoming clearer & more dangerous every day: -using ICE to terrorize blue states & cities -seizing ballots in heavily Dem counties -prosecuting 2020 enemies -extorting states for sensitive voter data www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

tom homan blaming Joe Biden for what ice is doing is low-life scumbag shit. Bill barr level partisan gaslighting.

🚨BREAKING: The FBI confirmed that it was carrying out a “lawful” search at the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operation Center in Union City, Georgia, but offered few details beyond saying the raid was authorized by a court and related to the 2020 election. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: A federal judge in Minnesota orders Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons to appear IN PERSON this Friday and explain why he shouldn't be held in contempt. "The court's patience is at an end," writes Bush-appointed Judge Patrick J Schiltz, who clerked for Scalia. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota. He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

not one person in the room to defend reality? C-Span should be playing the video on loop in the corner

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Woman tells Minnesota Public Radio that the man killed today was helping vehicle traffic get around the area where ICE agents and observers had started to gather and "next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/live-updates....

this video should be shown uncut on all media outlets. the media is failing America so terribly. bovino just went up and told everyone the sky was red and nobody in the room blinked. trump is gaslighting as if the video doesn't exist. the man was murdered, clear as day. he posed no threat. insane

Another Gestapo murder in Minnesota. Six agents wrestle someone to the ground and then shoot him in the back www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Where is our national press? The government has been shooting at and harassing clergy for months. This used to be a red line. The reality is their red line moved, not yours. They’re cowards.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

BREAKING: Jack Smith: "As I testify before the Committee today, I want to be clear: I stand by my decisions as Special Counsel, including my decision to bring charges against Pres. Trump. Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Pres. Trump engaged in criminal activity."

this is almost guaranteed to happen eventually. If not Minnesota then another state he sends ICE to terrorize. Get ready.

Macron: At the request of Denmark, I have decided that France will participate in the joint exercises organized by Denmark in Greenland, Operation Arctic Endurance. The first French military elements are already on their way. Others will follow.

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good is Jonathan Ross. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

this is disgusting. I'm so fucking sick of this

this jd vance presser is absolutely dystopian. & zero pushback from anyone in the room. we are GONE as a country.

Today once again proved that everyday citizens protesting their government are braver than the titans who own the largest media corporations, run the biggest law firms and lead the most powerful technology companies.

FOLKS IN MINNEAPOLIS: SAVE all videos & photos from today. They will be valuable to prove the ICE agent --- who had time to move & re-position himself to the side of the victim's car to shoot into the driver's side window --- was not in reasonable fear of imminent serious physical injury or death.

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

he should be escorted into a cell

Venezuela has the world’s largest oil reserves — and that’s no coincidence. This is naked U.S. imperialism: an illegal assault on Caracas aimed at overthrowing a sovereign government and plundering its resources. Starmer’s Labour government must condemn this unequivocally.
