Australia’s Future Fund now owns $100m+ of Palantir — the controversial tech firm powering Trump’s deportations and the Israeli Army’s operations in Gaza.

When told that Trump had called him a loser. Sen Thom Tillis (R-NC) replied, “That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.” Nice take on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller FROM A REPUBLICAN!

Oh, Boo-hoo…👇 Cry me a fucking river, already. PATHETIC. 😎✨

If you're an Australian and you have some guy angrily demanding he be allowed to call Uluru, Ayers Rock, just ask him "Without googling it, who's Ayers?" Srsly. They never ever know. They're just angry at being asked to call a sacred Indigenous site by its Indigenous name. #Australia #racism #Uluru

Masked ICE thugs pump 10 rounds into an ICU nurse trying to protect a woman from being brutalised. American corporate media dutifully broadcasts government lies about the obvious murder. It is time Australia ended its alliance with America. It is not acceptable to be allied to fascism #auspol

The names of the two non-Jewish Australians who were killed: Adam Smyth and Peter Meagher. They deserve to be remembered, too, and not as an after thought. The reckless politicisation of this terrorist act and conflation with Israel’s genocide has in fact prevented unity and promoted division.

ICE took the witnesses to today's murder of Alex Pretti into custody!

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

This week, Trump will bomb someone, impose a ridiculous tariff, make some crazy announcements - do anything he can to divert attention away from this outrage. He wants the public to move on and forget this as so many have done with his past crimes and transgressions. Don’t let him.

The American Nurses Association on Alex Pretti: "The seriousness of this incident and others demand transparency and accountability. ANA calls for a full, unencumbered investigation, and urges that findings be shared promptly and clearly so Alex's loved ones and the public have answers."

Yeah somebody should really do something

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.

The Border Patrol’s killing of Alex Pretti in Minnesota sends a message that “masked federal agents can murder you in cold blood, simply because an American citizen exercising their Second Amendment rights scares them,” Tyler Austin Harper argues:

This is a white supremacist paramilitary operation. Their goal—their stated goal!—is to force America to submit to the President's racist domineering vision for the country. The sooner everybody starts confronting it on the terms that they themselves have stated, the better.

Mafia fascism.

Feels like it should be a pretty big deal that a Trump supporter physically assaulted a Democratic congressman

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

Looking like we might be back on Trumps naughty list.😆 #AusPol www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis. AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including: "Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

Absolutley heartbreaking that parents of a man gunned down by federal agents have to put out a statement because the president and his cowardly minions are defaming their son. We’re way past sick.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

I’m a big fan of civilization. Rule of law, public health, universities, science, all good things. Great stuff. It may not be ‘politically correct’ to say this but I’m also a fan of what civilizations have done to idiot barbarian hordes who attempted to trample on those things.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Pam Bondi sends letter telling Minnesota officials if they turn over their voter rolls to Trump and his tech broligarchs they will remove ICE from Minnesota. It was never about immigration. It's about cheating in the midterms.

BREAKING: Pam Bondi has sent a letter to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz demanding, in part, that state officials turn over voter records to the Justice Department.

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.

“There are many responses to the Pretti killing to undertake from many quarters. But above all, it’s the immediate responsibility of Congress. It is now a clarion call of a generation. Congress must answer it, swiftly, fully, and fearlessly.” open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

Holy shit. This speaks volumes about the midterms ahead.

Why do media companies print obvious lies from the propagandists in the Trump admin as if that is the “other side” of the story when you have objective, irrefutable evidence to disprove it? Traditional norms/practices don’t work with this regime. Why do you spread their lies?

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are. It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is. All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

If this is accurate, Good was killed by a bullet fired after there was any conceivable argument Agent Ross was in the path of her vehicle, which means there was no legal justification for using deadly force. But DOJ says there’s no reason to investigate. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/u...

Like, imagine living here for tens of thousands of years then being displaced and dehumanised and vilified and no-one ever fixing that but fixing it for someone else. I’m going to bed disgusted with my country but grateful for the good people who can make our country better 💜💜

I keep thinking how First Nations People must feel knowing they don’t even qualify for a voice with most of our parliamentarians, much less hate speech laws. Sorry 🖤💛❤️

New in PN: American embarrassment. Global pariah. "Donald Trump sounded like a fascist dictator suffering from a brain bleed during his speech yesterday at Davos. It was a national embarrassment even by the lowly standards of modern American politics."

The rare Racism Straight Flush

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
