According to its new privacy policy, TikTok now collects more data on its users, including their precise location, after majority ownership officially switched to a group based in the US. www.wired.com/story/tiktok...

In Russia, if you call the illegal occupation of Ukraine a “war” or “invasion” instead of the “special military operation,” you could be sentenced to 15 years in prison.

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

This is what UK viewers are waking up to on Sky News. It was the lead on their morning show. youtu.be/FCPPBF4aRG8?...

Two males, related, adult, same health status prior to 2020, with person A slightly healthier than person B. Both travelled internationally to the Middle East and parts of Europe recently.

This man has either never taken a gun safety course in his entire life or he literally has zero regard for the safety and lives of the protesters in front of him and it's very likely a case of both/and here. Insanely undisciplined.

Not sure we’re all pricing in how much worse things are going to get now TikTok’s gone the way of CBS

“We Are Witnessing the Self-Immolation of a Superpower.” “With Donald Trump’s actions in Greenland, Minneapolis, and Venezuela, a foreign enemy could not invent a better chain of events to wreck the standing of the United States.” Via @wired.com and @vermontgmg.bsky.social

TikTok has been under new leadership for like a day and I made a slideshow with posts from the ICE rally today and it immediately got out under review and is not being published. Incredible.

I just got multiplr strikes for saying his back was turned.

#TikTok has begun censoring anti-Trump and anti-Ice content

Delete your account. They’re the enemy, just like X www.forbes.com/sites/emilyb...

Just FYI, myself + several other pro-democracy creators are reporting that TikTok won't publish our vids today. They are all being held in review/ taken down. TikTok was recently taken over by Oracle. The platform that is now state-controlled, and the state = fascist.

HOW IT WORKS IN MOVIES: 1. Government lies 2. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 3. Press says “the government is lying!” HOW IT APPARENTLY WORKS IN REAL LIFE 1. Brave heroes release video showing the truth 2. Government lies 3. Press says “Oh no, what now? So confusing! So hard!”

one of the gofundme campaigns sent to me today is only trying to raise $1,600 and has a horrific story of an experience of a Hmong elder. they've only raised $10.

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

Heads Up Minneapolis! MAGA propagandists Cam Higby, Kevin Posobiec & Hailey West have been spotted undercover otg & filming people today. They mean to twist your anger & sorrow into demonization. Avoid or nonviolently, but firmly, demand they leave. The less content you give them, the better.

These young aspiring grifters have been hanging out with Kevin Posobeic the brother of Jack “Pizzagate” Posobeic.

Choe is joined by Hailey West and Lance. Lance is live streaming pretending to be a friendly. www.youtube.com/live/2YCpQGz...

Jonathan Choe (Turning Point USA) has arrived in Minneapolis. Choe, identifies as a journalist, but works for a PAC that supports Trump. He claims he was detained by State Patrol during chaos and confusion. He’s an agitator, propagandist at best. Seen: 1-26-26

Seattle is not sending its best.

Bro is crashing out in full tactical gear outside the lobby entrance of a Home2Suites and gave himself a bloody nose by gassing himself because of a noise demonstration.

Minneapolis, MN - Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

Minneapolis, MN - Minneapolis PD SWAT is here and some city workers clearing things out of the street in front of what I guess can best be described as the “The Battle of The Home2Suites”

Minneapolis, MN - One press member offered medical assistance to the FPS agent with a “less lethal” launcher standing in front of the hotel. I asked him if he could tell us what happened to his nose (it’s visibly bloody and he’s spitting out blood). His response: “no.”

Minneapolis, MN - After FPS agents went into the hotel, shot teargas and kinetic munitions into the crowd assembled outside he wanted to know where the PD is to the press. I asked if he has a message for the community members that wanted out. No response. None to the mayor either.

We need an EVICTION MORATORIUM NOW. Our neighbors risk being separated from their families when they go to work. They also run the risk of being displaced if they don’t. Sadly, Mayor Frey refused to sign the resolution calling on the Governor to enact this moratorium.

‘We are the Good Samaritans’: Minneapolis hits back at ICE ft.trib.al/bUa0oFl

Since U.S. networks are largely useless, I’m watching CBC’s The National for a review of today’s news out of MN, and gotta say: Canadian reporters know how to dress for winter.

He spent decades bringing the religious right to power. Now he's marching to undo it. Rev. Rob Schenck spent decades helping build the Religious Right—commingling church and state to advance conservative causes. Now, he says he must confront the damage he helped cause.

Read more about Rob’s story here:

Wrote this paragraph 17 days ago, about the killing of Renee Good.

I cofounded a pro-choice group to protest Beverly Hills interfering in an abortion clinic’s opening in the city and let me tell you, every married woman showed up without their husbands or sons. Same with the repro rights fundraising group I’m in. Women of all ages whose husbands are at home.

A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.

No, the temperature is well above what oven mitts (or really any gloves) can handle. Do not pick up a smoke or tear gas grenade.

Yeah you need special gloves They should be covering these things with construction cones and pouring water inside

Minneapolis, MN - One protester attempted to throw back the green smoke bomb and destroyed his glove in the process. Noticing some confusion: this particular volley *WAS NOT CHEMICAL IRRITANT IT WAS NOT GREEN GAS, merely a gas that was green*

Minneapolis, MN (going backwards a bit. My camera isn’t frozen shut anymore yay!) Appears as though agents have left the Home2Suites. Saw some hotel employees gawking as a small contingent of protesters returned.

Minneapolis, MN (going backwards a bit. My camera isn’t frozen shut anymore yay!) Going to be honest with you, the site of an FPS agent throwing “less lethal” munitions and pointing a launcher at people in front of a Home2Suites was a surreal thing to observe.

Just a reminder that if you’ve got a Hilton Loyalty account it’s a great time to call and cancel it. If you have travel booked in the Hilton family (and there are a lot of brands) try to find an alternative. You don’t want to share an elevator or the hotel gym with a DHS fascist.

They've been very effective at obfuscating this stuff. Locate it hundreds of miles from where they abducted people so they can't be found, don't let anyone in to see, dress it up as "temporary detention pending trial". That sounds, if not pleasant, then at least tolerable and brief. Lies, all lies.

They are grabbing and bursting testicles. That’s sexual assault. We already know women detainees have been raped, assaulted and in some cases sterilized. This is sick stuff. They want to inflict maximum pain. They’re abusers drunk on power. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Can’t help but notice a lot of social media reports of Tik Tok censoring anti-ICE content in its first weekend under Trump-directed US management, and no mainstream news coverage thus far.

"Now it’s time for our rich sports owners to take the baton," writes columnist Jim Souhan. "Shut it all down until it’s safe for every Minnesotan to drive to a sports venue without being rammed, beaten, abducted or killed."
