ICE isn’t just brutal. It’s also big business. From 2008 to 2021 ICE spent *$1.2 billion* on geolocation tracking, $561M on data analysis, $252M on government databases, and $97M on data brokers. Most of that went to companies who will lobby for this system to stay in place.

You see ICU Nurse Alex Pretti assisting veterans learning to walk again. Donald Trump sees a domestic terrorist and suckers and losers.

This hit so fucking hard today.

Pretti at no point threatened federal agents. He (1) kept a distance and took either photos or videos of the scene with his phone (2) tried to help a woman who was unjustifiably assaulted by federal agents. Then agents assaulted him and shot him within seconds.

Minneapolis, Alex Pretti memorial, Mary Turner President of National Nurses United paid a very moving tribute to Alex Pretti who was savagely executed. Nurses save lives every single day, we need to be fully committed to supporting them in this difficult moment.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

RIP Alex Pretti.

The National Basketball Players Association releases a statement following the Trump regime’s murders of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, saying that NBA players “can no longer remain silent.” The NBPA is standing up for free speech, civil liberties, and the people of Minnesota demanding justice.

The only U.S. heavy icebreaker turns 50. That's an interesting landmark given recent U.S. criticism of other countries for not taking Arctic security seriously.

Over 1.1 million zlotys raised in Poland in three days to buy generators for Kyiv. Organizers increased the goal to 2 million to provide 100 generators for heating points.

NEW: Per new @CBSNewsPoll - Majority of respondents in America say I.C.E. is making our country LESS safe

Congress can stop ICE. Congress can block the use of force in Greenland. In other words, in this crisis, Congress can act to support civil liberties at home and free nations abroad. To fail to act would be to be complicit in a dreadful outcome.

What distinguishes Trump from past presidents is that he doesn't run policy to broadly benefit USA corporate interests. His policy is designed to specifically benefit anyone who pays him a few million bucks (also the case with Venezuela). For that he'll throw away USA alliances + prosperity.

No one safe from #ICE This is a nightmare! What needs to happen at this point to end this⁉️

One thing I find interesting about the Trump/Venezuela Saga is that in March of 2025, the USA government's Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) announced that it would block USA companies (including Chevron) from operating in Venezuela. Then Paul Singer (who donated $5million to Trump)

Paul Singer donated $5 million to Trump's PAC. Then he bought Venezuela's Citgo Texas+Louisiana refineries. Then Trump deposed Maduro to force Venezuela to export crude oil to Singer's new refineries. Ronald Lauder invested in Greenland. Then donated $5 million to Trump's "MAGA Inc". And now...

Incredible must watch video negating the claims of Noem and the White House. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

Minneapolis.

I don't want Greenland. I just want healthcare. Thanks.

And here we are: the entire transatlantic alliance is now talking about Greenland, instead of talking about ending the war in Ukraine.

🚨 In Nov., Trump's Labor Dept. lowered the minimum wage for foreign farmworkers. A month later, Trump's winery filed to hire 36 foreign, temporary workers. The rate? Almost $2/hour less than in 2025. 1/ me, for @forbes.com

🚨 Native Americans, Indigenous people, harassed, beaten, detained by ICE in front of local police. This took place in northern Minnesota and was posted 11 hours ago. Fuck ICE. Fuck dirty police. Rise up against these criminals - We Are Our Only Hope 1/2

I also must say that it's a bit rich that Trump and his DOJ think it's a good idea to gin up a bullshit investigation about supposed illegalities in ... {checks notes} … renovating a federal building

Please everyone stop writing articles about "defense" or "economic" reasons to occupy Greenland, that's all irrelevant

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing. But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

Make it viral.

November 2025 - A USA court in Delaware decided to force the sale of Venezuela's USA refineries (Citgo) to billionaire Paul Singer's Amber Energy. Singer had donated $ to Marco Rubio's presidential campaign then Trump. Shortly thereafter, Rubio + Trump coordinated USA military seizures of ...

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver. This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

12/1/2025: the Government of Venezuela filed an appeal in USA Delaware Court against the Court's ruling to forcibly sell the USA assets of Citgo, which is owned by Venezuela. 12/10/2025: USA military seizes first Venezuelan oil tanker 1/3/2026: USA kidnaps Venezuela's president

Devin Nunes and others linked to Trump Media & Technology Group (Truth Social owner) recently became officers and investors of a company soon after it made an unsuccessful $10 billion bid for the US assets of Venezuelan-state-owned Citgo Petroleum. My latest:

GOP operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman, convicted election fraudsters, were paid $960,000 in the second quarter to secure a pardon for a former nursing-home operator who defrauded the government of $38 million. Trump pardoned the man, Joseph Schwartz, last month.

Same with the protests in Bulgaria-- they were anti-budget/anti-corruption/pro-EU and twitter was flooded w claims they were anti-euro adoption and anti-EU. Despite the EU flags protestors waved in support of the euro. The amount of anti-EU propaganda by Ru bots and MAGA on twitter is massive.

The media needs to stop calling the Trump family and JD Vance "conservatives". The term suggests political activists who wanted to "conserve" an American political past. The MAGA movement is a radical authoritarian pro-oligarchy movement not a movement to conserve the USA's political past.

It proves many things: Russian energy was never cheap, neither politically nor economically. Russian energy was always unreliable. Russia always needed Europe more than the other way around.

Ex-Trump lawyer John Dowd defends Jack Smith: "Smith was once my adversary in a high-profile investigation of a Republican client. In that investigation, Smith proved himself to be fair, impartial and fearlessly committed to the facts … [R]ecent attacks on Smith are motivated by partisan politics."

A firm with deep ties to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem reportedly secretly received funding from a $220 million taxpayer-funded DHS ad campaign. The public deserves answers on how the firm ended up getting this money. The DHS inspector general must open an investigation.

Days after Trump threatened to place tariffs on Canada's potash exports to the USA (🇨🇦 is the main source of Potash for 🇺🇸 farmers), the Trump regime negotiated a deal to end sanctions on potash imports from Belarus. Trump is trading USA alliances with peaceful democracies for deals with autocracies.

Imprisoned former Georgian president Saakashvili warned Ukraine against relying on US security guarantees, citing South Vietnam's collapse after Washington abandoned its promises, urging Ukraine to build a European alliance instead.

Ain't This The Truth,Chumpster..... 👇

Exactly where are their headquarters? Oh wait...we know ARLINGTON CEMETERY

This seems rather, uh, dictatorial. I'm old enough to remember when conservatives wanted devolution and the return of power to states.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
