The woman who said she was autistic as ICE dragged out of her car is named Aliya Rahman via this statement: "Masked agents dragged me from my car and bound me like an animal, even after I told them that I was disabled." It happened two blocks from where Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good.

CBS has received updated info from 2 US govt anonymous sources of ICE agent Jonathan Ross being treated at the hospital after he was allegedly touched by a car.

So a South African who overstayed his student visa and now controls a satcom company with billions in DOD and FAA contracts and whose AI company produces kiddieporn at the same time it is being integrated into DOD networks is ALSO providing mission-critical comms to the enemy of our ally? AYKM?

Another very good one featured here: Greg Bovino, the roving commander of the administration’s immigration crackdowns, yelling at protesters on Sunday in Minneapolis. Bovino is going to be with us for a long time; he’s clearly trying to make himself the paramilitary version of a celebrity general.

Rachel Cohen: “Greg, I hope you fucking eat shit, I hope this keeps you up at night for the rest of your life, and no one fucking wants you here” Greg Bovino: “Oh, fantastic language” Cohen: “ ‘Oh, fantastic language’—there’s children in here? In your fucking vehicles, assholes?”

Russia may be able to control Shahed drones via Starlink within days, potentially making them resistant to electronic warfare jamming and significantly more accurate. Ukrainian expert Serhii “Flash” reports the first confirmed use of Starlink control on a BM-35 drone today.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Lots of Trump’s remarks are what I think of as “threesome jokes.” As in “Ha ha, of course I wasn’t serious about having a threesome with your friend. Unless you’re into it, in which case, how about Saturday?”

NEW: It's not just Jonathan Ross—or even the Trump administration. Over the past decade, US immigration agents have shot and killed at least 25 people. Not a single one appears to have faced criminal charges. @lilahassan.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/why-ic...

relevant to the debate over whether we should keep funding DHS without reforms and accountability for how out of control their spending is

A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.

The lady in this photo is autistic and ICE agents dragged her out of her car as she tried to go to the doctor.

So with everything happening in Minnesota, I feel like some people need an explanation of what the Insurrection Act is and isn't, along with martial law (which isn't the same and is very nebulous) from someone who knows what they're talking about. Buckle up.

Holy hell, what an obituary

Every example of ai being useful begins with "okay imagine you're in a situation, and you are very dumb"

Gonna say it again and until everyone takes me seriously on it: YOU MUST GET TRAINED IN RAPID RESPONSE NOW. Not when ICE announces they're coming to your city (PS they're already there). NOW.

Why was Jeffrey Epstein’s procurer transferred to a cushy prison?

The movie this Kickstarter is fundraising for will play Sundance next week, and I dunno, if I were a streaming service I might snap it up and put it out there quick, for very obvious reasons.

The Trump admin, which says it was investigating fraud in Democratic-led states, quietly shelved a massive welfare fraud investigation in Mississippi involving public funds funneled to Brett Favre and others

ICE is holding Native Americans hostage as a bargaining chip to raid reservations, saying they won't release them until the tribes give up sovereignty. www.startribune.com/ice-detainin...

And there it is.

They literally always accuse protesters of being paid because 1) it shifts the terrain of the debate and 2) it reassures their base that no one legitimately holds a contrary position. They take comfort in thinking that anyone who disagrees with Trump is either brainwashed or a cynic.

Can we imagine, for a moment, the mainstream press reaction if Obama or Biden said something like this? The idiots who thought a tan suit was worth a news cycle?

".. when you win the presidency, you don't win the midterms,” Trump said. He boasted that he had accomplished so much that “when you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election.” @reuters.com www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

NYTimes has truly outdone itself with this latest in its "ask white guys in diner" genre. Thank goodness we get a perspective on what's happening in Minneapolis from people in **Nisswa** who probably mean Brainerd when they say they "prefer not to go the city anymore" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

The new Minister of Defense of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov: The only one who does not want peace is Russia. We feel it in our homes; we hear it in our skies. And our main security guarantee is our Defense Forces, as well as the courage and ingenuity of the Ukrainian people.

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

so some news from the MPLS people in my group chats: ICE seems to be moving into the black/brown enclaves of North Minneapolis ahead of weather conditions that will likely hinder their movement; they want to spend this time making content specifically sparring with minorities, slave patrol shit

People need to stop pretending the U.S. government isn’t actively rebranding as a white supremacist movement. 🚨 The Trump administration has rolled out a coordinated campaign across departments, using imagery and messaging straight from right-wing and white nationalist circles. This isn’t subtle.

my kingdom for a reporter who's had enough and finally responds to trump attacking their women colleagues with a "hey shut the fuck up asshole"

before I go to bed, I feel obliged to emphasize how tonight’s rampage in northern Minneapolis was, by no exaggeration, a glorified episode of klan night riding by federally deputized groypers. Yes, DHS always had these people but the difference now is that they’re in charge and with a $175B budget.

This is Brenden Cuni of New Rochelle, NY, an ICE agent who was seen earlier brutalizing a pregnant woman in Minneapolis, MN. As reported by I_May_Have_Weed I hope his family is proud of him. #FuckICE #FucktRump #Pinks #ProudBlue

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.
