I license my footage, in which I don't speak at all, to places like CNN, CBS, and KARE 11. I'm working with Mother Jones. I am primarily a writer, who has broken real, investigative stories. I'm not an activist or a fucking content creator, nor am I working in the style of one, thanks. Fuck off.

every Signal chat of laypeople is losing their minds over the wildest opsec advice imaginable and every Signal chat of security professionals is like “dude wtf” The vast majority of problems can be avoided by not being foolish, being aware of your surroundings, and using common sense

One thing I see liberal outlets giving ground on that I feel the need to correct: it’s impossible to “dox” a paid public official By simply reporting their name, institutional role, and political affiliations

Reposting to make my point a little more clearly: these folks have a correct (albeit much too late and seemingly shallow) sense that right-wing media is important. But listening to this stuff to gawk at it doesn't help you. You need context/analysis to make it useful www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/s...

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Two weeks ago, @texasobserver.org published an investigation into four businesses in North Texas linked to Patriot Front. One of the biz owners, Cameron Schronk, denied being involved in the neo-Nazi group. Here's one of his employees, Kieran Morris, admitting our reporting was accurate.

“What the fuck is wrong with you, asshole?!” @tinadesireeberg.com when CBP started firing on journalists who were complying with their orders

here's a great thread on how conservatives imagine nonviolent collective action and why seeing it frustrates them so much: bsky.app/profile/benl...

all they have are their sad little AI photos. other people smarter than me have said this but seeing people do autonomous action and form mutual aid networks breaks the conservative brain. conservatives don't understand solidarity. they understand transactional relationships and wielding power.

NEW: 8 men linked to Vinlanders Social Club, a notorious violent racist skinhead group, have been detained for hate crimes. Police in Charlotte, NC seized 3 members' phones last October after they brought knives and brass knuckles to a pro-Palestine protest. 1/4 www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Seems like a bad sign for the general competency level of federal law enforcement that the FBI director spends his time scouring the feeds of random MAGA influencers and launching investigations based on their posts. www.mediamatters.org/benny-johnso...

Two memorials in three weeks. 1.5 miles apart.

Wasn't expecting this from the Atlantic, but here we are. I've been told I'm "overreacting," "too sensitive," "hysterical," and "obsessed with a small number of people that don't matter" and I should ignore them for years. I am tired.

James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

Let me say something very directly. We are objectively in a fascist authoritarian moment here in this country. Academics and historians have established indicators for this. We are well over the line on many of them.

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Minnesota's state FBI-like bureau is suing Noem. It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones." MN asserts a sovereign right to investigate crimes within its borders.

shouting for the journalists in the back: IT’S NOT AN IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN. It’s a federal occupation of a city that didnt vote the right way. And the occupying force is there to enforce civil infractions, misdemeanors.

I'm not being hyperbolic when I say any "when are Americans going to do something?" poster peddling that bullshit today need to be bullied off the internet. It's -15 in Minneapolis and folks are literally risking their lives to be in the street and protect their neighbors. How fucking dare you?

We’ve placed the available videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis today into the same synchronised timeline and are continuing to analyse further.

The new conservative position on gun control is apparently that lawfully carrying a licensed handgun means you deserve to be executed in the street by masked federal agents

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

At 26th and Nicolett in Minneapolis this morning— Feds have just shot another person in the streets. Furious community members are gathering. State police and conservation cops here in front of ~50 federal agents.

Meta only acted after being confronted with Nazi imagery — yet influencers promoting misogyny, racism, and hate speech remain untouched. IG is letting creators with massive followings build businesses on extremist content, signaling that hate is acceptable as long as it’s profitable. Read more:

Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them. “At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

NEW: Right-Wing Influencers Desperate to Find an Insurrection in Minneapolis From Nick Sortor & Cam Higby to Nick Shirley & Jake Lang, right-wing content creators have descended on the Twin Cities to agitate community and farm for content during the federal government's immigration occupation.

An attempted traffic stop by two ICE agents did not involve the man they ultimately shot in north Minneapolis. Details from a FBI agent's sworn affidavit contradict what DHS officials initially stated — and later repeated for several days — about the highly charged encounter.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

Alright everyone, I’ll be doing coverage in Minneapolis starting tomorrow early AM. Please feel free to hit me with leads, info, locations of cheap warmth and anything else handy!

Patriot Front-run Active Clubs want you to think they're not violent, that they're just a group that cares about fitness and defending Western culture. However, despite what PF members may say in court or to CNN, reporting shows over and over again that PF & ACs are full of violent neo-Nazis.

Look at this cute dog! His owner is a hardcore neo-Nazi and the leader of a "Active Club" in Kansas. Pictures of his dog helped @kylebazgo.bsky.social and I identify him.

NEW: @kylebazgo.bsky.social and @tristanl.ee have identified the leader of neo-Nazi group Heartland Active Club as 32-year-old Jacob Daniel Jones from Olathe, KS. Under the alias “Prairie Nationalist”, Jones has praised neo-Nazi mass shooter Anders Breivik and is “training for a war”.

ICYMI: The dorks from Patriot Front are prolific Google reviewers with terrible opsec. Not only do they engage in coordinated review-bombing campaigns against businesses they don’t like, they also astroturf positive reviews for businesses owned by PF members and associates.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that a neo-Nazi group that is busy building a secretive compound in Tennessee also has members and affiliates running construction and roofing companies

Great work from two of my occasional collaborators, @tristanl.ee and @kylebazgo.bsky.social decoherence.media/leader-of-ka...

Jayden Scott was a no-show at Jake Lang’s failed “crusade on Minneapolis” last weekend. Americans Against Islamification, which organized the event with Lang, later claimed on Facebook that six members of Lang’s entourage were injured at the event and that Scott was in “critical condition.”

“Verbal assaults”

If my company was recently accused of being part of a neo-fascist group, I wouldn't post this from that company's X account

Jake Lang claims that getting pushed around and sprayed with water is the equivalent of lynching and asks the president to send the national guard.

A right winger attending Jake Lang’s bigot pro-ICE protest IN Minneapolis hit a protester with his car. Were the only one with the video. youtu.be/Dd4ui_10mt0?...

“Kristina Olson” joined Jake Lang’s hate rally. She assaulted press while chanting “you will not replace us!” She appears to be a member of Assatrau Folk Assembly, a white nationalist group that shares some membership w/ Neo-Nazi group Blood Tribe. www.runestone.org/post/no-batt...
