Did I just see NO ONE CLAP FOR JD VANCE in Italy Olympic Opening Ceremony when he was on the screen and he noticed? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💙💙 Well done Italy!!! #Olympics #Italy

Beyond Minnesota - four other ways the Trump administration has furthered its far-right agenda in the last few weeks youtube.com/shorts/HL3X7...

Today the UK lost its measles elimination status. If enough folks are vaccinated, it can also protect those who are vulnerable and/or can't get the vaccine. Here is a post about community immunity I wrote for @thosenerdygirls.bsky.social about last year. thosenerdygirls.org/vaccination-...

The UK has lost its measles elimination status - this is terrible news.

Please please vaccinate your child against measles. This is from our @independentsage.bsky.social report from last year, led by @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social & @helensalisbury.bsky.social independentsage.org/wp-content/u...

The killings in Minneapolis didn’t come out of nowhere. Funding, legal cover, weakened oversight, and dehumanising rhetoric ramping up over a year. This started on 20 Jan 2025 with Trump's executive orders on immigration. I lay it out in my latest post. christinapagel.substack.com/p/the-ice-st...

This is a great new way of keeping up to date with authoritarian actions in the US ⬇️⬇️

Don’t buy the lies - Bovino has nothing

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Please share widely

This just highlights how important the video testimony is of the brave Minnesotan civilians observing. It is crucial resistance - without those videos we'd be even more lost.

The shooting of Alex Pretti was (US) state sanctioned murder and has been followed up by attempts to destroy evidence and stop local police (and even the FBI) from investigating. Minnesota police are trying to counter the lies and illegality. Terrifying open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

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.

Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

Frey: "I'm done being told our community members are responsible for the vitriol in our streets ... the invasion of these heavily armed masked agents roaming around on our streets of Minneapolis, emboldened with a sense of impunity, it has to end"

⬇️

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

there is so much happening in the US right now, including the killing of a 2nd person by ICE in MN today.. and much is flying under the radar.. we will continue to capture the authoritarian actions of the US administration. Looking away is not an option. www.trumpactiontracker.info?start=2025-0...

China chimes in

Murdering protestors is what dictators do. Trump threatened to bomb Iran for it — while he and his ICE brownshirts are doing it right here. ICE must leave Minnesota now. Congress must stop funding them. And the perpetrators of these crimes must be held accountable. x.com/startribune/...

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

You misspelled "BORED".

"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..." Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.

This.. and we keep tracking, because looking away is not an option

survivors of military dictatorships know that paramilitaries always characterize their enemies as domestic terrorists

FFS - it's a kid, it's sub-freezing, he states he's legal, he's terrified

Latest UKHSA data out today shows that flu continues to drop (the peak is well and truly done), RSV has also clearly peaked and that covid levels remain low. www.gov.uk/government/s...

The US withdrawal from #WHO became official today, leaving the world less prepared for dangerous disease outbreaks. “When that will bite us in the ass, it’s impossible to predict. But there is a 100% certainty that it will bite us in the ass,” one expert told me. www.statnews.com/2026/01/22/u...

pleadse note! I've recorded almost 400 attacks on science over the last year (and that doesn't even include the attacks on universities)! www.trumpactiontracker.info they've slowed down over recent months but only because I think they've achieved a lot of what they want to already :-(

folks, this is some really weird shit. the president is not well.

One of the problems with the Flood The Zone strategy is it's difficult to comprehend what's going on, and not being distracted by the latest shiny event. What @chrischirp.bsky.social is doing is excellent - a weekly report of what you may have missed. christinapagel.substack.com/p/war-and-pr...

@hcrichardson.bsky.social wrote about a 1945 US leaflet on how to spot fascism in America. I thought it might be worth screenshotting the relevant bit. ALL of the these warnings have come to pass in the past year. 1/2
