Abuser tactics in the open all around

"...According to the autopsy report, there was a single blueberry in the child’s stomach...." Brutal description warning.

The Trump administration has rolled out a campaign across departments that draws on images and ideas borrowed from right-wing and white nationalist circles. https://to.pbs.org/45GW3I9

For trans ppl who have received a letter/visit from the FBI (THREAD). Step 1. Call the National Lawyers' Guild federal defense hotline: www.nlg.org/nlg-announce... 2. DO NOT publicly talk about it or share the letter until you do (1), and understand the potential consequences 3. Spread the word!

BREAKING — Mayor of Lewiston, Maine posts on FB that ICE is coming to the city imminently. This confirms my reporting the agency is planning a surge in the city and state generally. Lewiston is home to a large Somali-American population, which made up 4.6% of the population as of the 2020 census.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

A single federal agent with a long gun just walked through the crowd, slipped on the ice on his way under the police tape. Dropped his loaded clip.

🔴 BREAKING: Israeli forces have bombed a residential home in the al-Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City, killing 3 people. The strike occurred west of the yellow line as daily Israeli violations and killings continue, despite the Trump-backed ceasefire. Vid: Mosab Abu Toha via X (@MosabAbuToha)

This is a different Chicago vigil than the one we just attended. With hardly any notice, several happened across the city today:

An anti-abortion prosecutor wrongfully charged a woman with fetal homicide after an alleged medication abortion. State dropped the charge, but only after news outlets published her mugshot and claimed she faced life in prison. Beyond time to change how abortion arrests are covered @autonomynews.co

Fucking hell

??? Apparently Venezuela oil revenues will go into “offshore accounts” outside of the US Treasury, PBS reports.

ICE’s public violence should be a reminder that they commit brutal acts in private facilities too. Every report has been horrific and we only have the smallest glimpse into the horrors.

🔴 BREAKING: An ICE agent has shot & killed a woman in Minneapolis during a federal immigration enforcement operation. Federal officials claim the woman was driving a vehicle that moved toward agents, prompting an officer to open fire, AP reports. Witnesses at the scene have disputed that account...

ICE agents stopped by protesters after the shooting an observer in Minneapolis, according to witnesse. ICE deployed pepper spray and tear gas.

Meanwhile here’s Rubio and Schumer chopping it up today

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed

🕯️ VIGIL TODAY 🕯️

This is why I posted the video when I did. Sorry there's not more warning on the post, but I was in the streets. Multiple media sources had the video for a while, and the right-wing propaganda machine was already sending their lies out. I saw it with my own eyes.

This is the video.

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale publicly endorsed a post calling for the extermination of “commies,” responding “Exactly” & asking, “What did you think founding Palantir was supposed to be about?” on X.

Watch this. Watch again. "This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us."

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza. It's 25 degrees outside. Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!" Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

... wtf

Trump declared that American fossil fuel companies will "go in and spend billions of dollars" in Venezuela, which has the largest known oil reserves in the world.

The BBC has verified this video out of Venezuela.

Venezuelan Pres. Nicolás Maduro recently recorded a video message directed at the US that aired on New Year’s Eve. In the interview-style message, recorded while he was driving & broadcast on Venezuelan state media, Maduro said Venezuela is willing to hold serious talks w/ the US about combating...

As I told @kattenbarge.bsky.social (who has been doing absolutely incredible reporting on image-based abuse for years) last June, "X is going to continue to be one of the worst offenders and probably one of the pioneers of horrible ways to hurt women.” spitfirenews.com/p/grok-tribu...

Vid short about the USPS postmark change

An ICE agent groomed and sexually abused a detainee for over 3 months. These men are more likely to cause harm than the immigrants they’re targeting. They’re more likely to have criminal records. Arrest & charge every last one of them.

The US has surpassed 2,000 measles cases for the first time in thirty years. Every one of those cases is a preventable tragedy. Each one represents a child who could die or become disabled because their parents refused to protect them. Shame on RFK Jr and every grifter encouraging this.

This woman has been locked up for 10 months while suffering from leukaemia Just another example of how ICE is a disability justice issue She’s being denied medical care. She’s lost 70lbs. She’s coughing up blood It’s cruel & inhumane They are choosing to let this woman suffer. Never forget it.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles. When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies. This is outrageous.
