CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

Happening now: breathtaking aerial view of today’s immense protest in Minneapolis Minnesota! Just wow 🤩

French diplomats are embracing a new online strategy to counter disinformation, supplementing staid messaging with memes and sarcasm. Alongside the historic adversaries, they are increasingly targeting MAGA-aligned voices in the U.S. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/fran...

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

To those in this country thinking what’s happening across the pond couldn’t happen here. It definitely can.

🔴Reform UK’s Plans For a British ICE Key figures in Nigel Farage’s party are demanding a UK version of Trump’s immigration enforcement agency, in the wake of the killings of Alex Pretti and Renée Good bylinetimes.com/2026/01/30/r...

If they can murder Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, they can kill you. If they can arrest and intimidate Don Lemon, they can arrest and intimidate you. Oh quizlings, centrists, corporate cowards, and complicit establish journalists -- WAKE UP!

Here's what you need to know to start your day

The asylum-seeking mom begged the school to bring her boys to ICE so they wouldn’t be left unattended after she was detained.

I’ve written a detailed report on the Greg Bovino-to-Tom Homan handover in Minneapolis that at once reveals that the Trump regime hasn’t changed its plans for ICE *and* serves as a primer on the many aspects of the criminal justice system that Homan lied about today. So I think you’ll enjoy this.

🇺🇸 2026 do you recognise 👇 Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, and subordination of individual interests for the nation or race.

If she's elected, Hannah Spencer will also be (I think) only the 2nd plumber to become an MP. The first being Jon Trickett, a supporter of Jeremy Corbyn was was removed from the Labour front bench after Keir Starmer became leader.

Great reception to Green message on the doorsteps of Denton & at Longsight Market - voting Greens is clearly seen as best way to stop the hate-filled politics of Reform in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Bumping into the Guardian’s @johnharris1969.bsky.social was an added bonus 🙂

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

new: Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain and activist Matt Moberg FaceTimed me from an ICE blanketed parking lot about his empathy for Anthony Edwards, Wemby's provocative statement about the Spurs, and the value (if any) of athletes speaking out. we ended early because ICE tried to arrest his mom.

Minnesota based Independent Journalist GEORGIA FORT has been arrested for filming a protest of the church pastor that works as an ICE manager. SPREAD THE WORD! Georgia has been doing outstanding reporting from ground zero!

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Protests against ICE in Minneapolis, war-damaged bridges in Syria, a landslide in Sicily, a heat wave in Australia, heavy snow in Russia, and  more. View photos from the week, via The Atlantic Photo:

What is happening in United States is what happens when coercive powers of the state - arrest, detention, charges - are used as ends in themselves, and not as means of serving justice. They know the arrests and charges will not stick, but they don’t care. Intimidation, like cruelty, is the point.

Good luck 🤞🏼 Hannah Spencer and the @greenparty.org.uk

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

A Trump megadonor cut a $6 MILLION check, got a private White House meeting, and days later, his company landed a $250 MILLION government-brokered oil deal. For the first time, the U.S. is controlling who profits from Venezuela’s oil, and Trump put one of his biggest donors first in line.

This is where people snatched up in Trump's occupation of Minneapolis and Saint Paul are being sent. After the first death at the notorious "tent city" at Fort Bliss, advocates warned ICE that detainees reported extreme physical and sexual abuse at the facility. Within weeks, two men were dead.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

Hi Humans, God here and I have a few questions. 1. What authority does DHS or ICE have in Italy? 2. What can masked proud boys do that the Secret Service can’t? 3. Will they be preventing US athletes from defecting?

It seems that Tom Homan’s shift to a more humane approach is just ICE agents targeting local schools. Reports of parents getting abducted outside of schools, agents entering schools, hanging out around children’s bus stops.

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

Good for Fey, if the 🇺🇸 is to keep the republic and the idea that it was built on. It will mean for those with morals, decency, humanity and courage to stand up. That’s from public officials to ordinary citizens. And in this Minnesota and in particular Minneapolis is leading the way.
