People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

A Department of Homeland Security whistleblower has released the identities of about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees Tuesday in what has been called potentially the largest agency data breach for the department.

Coverage for Gaza has died down recently, so I wanted to remind folks that lots of people are still struggling. The Gaza Soup Kitchen opened its 14th location recently, and they are accepting donations. If you have some money to spare, please consider sending some spare funds their way.

Much higher than the estimate death toll in the 2022 protests, and probably the bloodiest crackdown in the Islamic Republic's history, if you exclude the murder of political prisoners in jails in the 1980s.

I'm a reporter hoping to connect with LGBTQ+ people who are struggling with their healthcare costs right now; like folks enrolled in ACA plans whose premiums have sharply increased. Also glad to talk with uninsured folks.  please hmu! Signal is @orionr.80 or DM me

Breaking: NYT now says *six* federal prosecutors in Minnesota have just resigned over the Justice Department's push to investigate the widow of Renee Good and the department's reluctance to investigate the ICE agent who shot Good, according to people with knowledge of their decision.

It's Farah's campaign!!! Farah is a dear friend of Rawan's and I've been helping her set up her own campaign. She needs $6000 for a tent, medicines for her husband and kids, and clothing. They were treated badly by the winter- but even a little will help her family up. chuffed.org/project/1651...

They keep saying this “didn’t you learn your lesson?” bit like murdering Renee Good was a flex and we’re all supposed to bow to their dominance.

Account cancellation is a really effective tactic imo

Every business on earth going in on subscription models opens up an interesting new attack surface for protest

“Eventually, we will piss the Trump administration off. Eventually, they will want us to do something, and when that time comes others will remember the stances we took, and this administration will remember what we allowed them to get away with.”

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

We need to be clear about why they're targeting Minneapolis and why Renee Good is dead

This is your reminder that Benny Johnson was one of the guys involved in "Tenet Media" the Russian funded media influence operation

This is very bleak, and a measure too of the incredible bravery of the Iranian people.

ICE is very active in the Minneapolis suburb I'm closest to, and they don't get the same attention and resources as some of the bigger burbs. Can folks boost this and try to get some funds to them?

I’m feeling a little freaked out lately and scared for people I love dearly. It would mean a lot to me if you shared this donation site amicacenter.org

I have verified that Keith Porter Jr’s father created this GoFundMe and is asking to support his grandchildren

i do think this forces paper was cooking when it argued that civil unrest in the united states is likely to spill over into Canada, especially if security forces engage in brutality:

Hi hello, the Toronto Sun's email is [email protected] in case you'd like to inquire as to how they feel about their Ottawa Bureau Chief making these kinds of statements about innocent women being shot by militarized thugs in the street! Let's make his weekend extra fun :)

I missed this but apparently it has been confirmed that Jeffrey Rath is in fact meeting with the Whitehouse www.politico.com/newsletters/...

Agitation propaganda (physical protests, posters, newspapers and other things you can put into people's physical hands) has a stronger record of influencing people's opinions than online activism. I am being very serious when I say, boil some water and flower and put that wheat-paste to use.

Once again, for the consideration of the people of the United States of America.

Here are the brands and sizes recalled 👇🏻 this is a serious recall. please check your fridge if you buy these brands.

Local security services have sided with those of the central government, in defiance of local civilian politicians, against the populace

It's not an excuse, but it is worth remembering that mayors in most cities very much do not have control over their police departments if the mayor doesn't like something the cops want to do, a phenomenon that would be a red alert civ-mil alarm with the military but something we all accept w/cops

Maybe Frey is fine with this, not opening that can of worms, but the larger point is he could give a direct order for MPD to do the exact opposite and not only would the end result be the same, he'd be powerless to do anything about it because of how we've structured local govt-PD relations

This is the case with basically every American city, which is quite suboptimal, yes

The CAF needs to place a tripwire force on Greenland alongside the Europeans.

We cannot simply coast by while the Yanks attempt to rewriting or even threaten a sovereign nation: if this ends up leading to a diplomatic spat, so be it

If we genuinely stand by Danish and Greenlandic sovereignty, we must be willing to demonstrate so, even at a high cost

This shit has always been abhorrent to me but I find it especially repellant after spending a whole month back home in SA. The country he’s describing just does not exist.

🇩🇰🇩🇪🇫🇷 Danish politicians are calling for German and French troops in Greenland to deter the US, - Welt Conservative MP Rasmus Jarlov said it would be wise to welcome allies “so that the price of a military invasion for the Americans would be extremely high.”

As protests swelled around the country, Iran’s internet was shut down, and the heads of its judiciary and its security services warned of a harsh response amid calls for “freedom, freedom.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/w...

It’s seems like this is it. Please pray for the safety of the people of Iran. Pray that everyone in the Iranian establishment who will sign off on the use of force against protesters is held to justice. And pray that corrupt politicians won’t be able to escape to Russia. One struggle.

Here is the fundraiser for Renee Good’s wife and son, from a very trusted source.

State governments have to charge ICE officers, because if they get used to killing with impunity, what happens next is going to be actual violent retaliation by random members of the public. DO NOT DO THIS, dear reader, but someone else most certainly will, absent decisive state govt action.

They are spitting in the eye of the poetntial jury pool, they have hollowed out the FBI and DOJ thoroughly, and every agency that would be involved lies faster than it breathes. We're already at the point where some lunatic could Rittenhouse an ICE agent and have a real chance of staying free.

Cannot convey the DO NOT FED-POST and DO NOT TAKE THE LAW INTO YOUR OWN HANDS VIEWER message strongly enough. But this is pretty clearly consent of governed shit for at least the Twin Cities. And the state is absolutely screwing the pooch at this moment.

This is a good piece on revisionism on Venezuela amongst the radical left. It's a good reminder of how LatAm is all too frequently not treated as a real place with real people but as some kind of pet laboratory for political and economic theories.

If you have any funds to spare and want to help Minneapolis right now, getting dash cams to observers is crucially important and especially after today

man if it turns out that the feds ended up attacking someone completely uninvolved....
