Jesse Ventura, accurately comparing the fascist authoritarian Trump regime to Hitler's Nazi regime of 1930s Germany. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👇

📌I had intended to write to you today about the cold-blooded murder of an innocent mother by masked U.S. government agents on a Minneapolis street Wednesday, and then the NYT was whistled by Trump to the WH to help put a megaphone to his never-ending stream of lies ... Here's what happened:

Several Ukrainian officials “said it was likely meant as a signal to the Trump administration that Kyiv is eager to cooperate ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/w...

The Trumpists long ago forfeited any presumption of reliability. Their statements about events come from a fever-dream nightmare world that bears no resemblance to actual reality

Note: (elected) police district councillors also say they do not feel members of CCPSA initially took their concerns re: CPD assisting ICE seriously enough. They also say the listening session tonight is not enough, but is what they can do within their power to demand accountability.

Hundreds of people have packed into Chicago's Thalia Hall tonight for a community listening session on CPD collaboration with ICE/CBP. Police district councillors who gathered petition signatures required to hold tonight's hearing are opening by thanking the community for showing out.

Protesters filled the park in response to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis woman killed by an ICE agent Wednesday.

"The 52-to-47 vote set the stage for a debate, expected next week, on a measure that would force Mr. Trump to seek congressional authorization for continued U.S. military operations in Venezuela."

MAGA Cult Slayer Jessie Ventura just called Donald Trump a dictator. “We are a Third World country now. You wanna read something? Then read your history of Germany and start comparing.” We are not joking, we are not facetious, this is not hyperbolic.

7 Democrats just voted today to confirm a Trump judicial nominee who refused to say what happened on January 6 or answer who won the 2020 election: Durbin Hassan Kaine King Klobuchar Shaheen Welch

While Trump and his henchmen are gutting our rights and waging regime change wars, America's supposed leadership class is only enabling him. It's an utter disgrace. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC0vKzRmPos

‼️ The moment of strike on houses of Kyiv: on video — Darnytskyi district on the left bank, — local media.

As @frost.house.gov said, we all agree that we must eliminate fraud WHEREVER it exists. But that fight starts at the top, and this Administration continues to turn a blind eye to white-collar crime and fraud in Republican-controlled states. This is not justice.

My thoughts about the tragic shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis — and why this is what happens under authoritarian regimes that socializes its agents to wage war on the public.

Garcia: Donald Trump thinks it’s over. He doesn’t really understand the breadth of what we’re doing here. There is so much new information about Mar-a-Lago—what their role was in the trafficking

Team Wellman the stopped by Kaldis to support workers for their Solidarity Sip-In! It's never been more important to stand with working Missourians Great turn out! 💙🇺🇸🦾

Garcia: Every American should be outraged by what happened in Minneapolis. The fact that there’s going to be no accountability—or that the DOJ wants to investigate it themselves—is insane. They can’t be trusted to investigate anything.

The reckoning is upon us: house republicans are having to abandon Trump because they have to get reelected.

Good luck with the World Cup and LA28.

Partnered with China, Russia, and Iran. The three countries leading global de-dollarization. This isn't coincidence. Challenge the petrodollar. Get regime changed. Every. Single. Time.

🧵Let's go back to 1974 and the deal Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia. That's what's going on here with Venezuela. Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not democracy. It's about the petrodollar system that has kept America the dominant economic power for 50 years and Venezuela a threat to the end of it.

Dallas police Chief Daniel Comeaux said Thursday that Gov. Greg Abbott was off base in blaming AT&T’s planned move from downtown on city leaders’ public safety decisions, saying instead that conditions were improving from stepped-up patrols and renewed focus on the area.

Timeline and video from the Minnesota Star Tribune on the killing of Renee Nicole Good. https://www.startribune.com/ice-raids-minnesota/601546426

A heartless ICE Agent destroys a memorial setup for Renee Good and says "he doesn't give a fuck." This is what happens when you hire aggressive losers and give them cart blanche to do what they want. This amoral loser does not deserve to serve our country.

Walz: "I will continue to press that we be part of the investigation, that we do the investigation, so that Minnesotans can trust what the outcome is ... very very difficult to Minnesotas to think in any way this is going to be fair when Kristi Noem was judge, jury, and executioner yesterday."

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

Kristi Noem was at the World Trade Center today but there were rumors she would show up at 26 Federal Plaza. There are protesters outside here in case she does.

NEW: The vote of 52-47 advanced a bipartisan resolution to block Trump from using military force “within or against Venezuela” unless he gets prior approval from Congress. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge Thursday ruled that John Sarcone, President Donald Trump’s temporary pick as acting U.S. attorney for NDNY, has been serving unlawfully in his post for months. The decision makes Sarcone the fifth Trump-appointed acting U.S. attorney deemed illegitimate by federal courts.
