Everything they learned in Minnesota they’re applying in Maine from day one. They started off doing fast-moving snatch and grabs on the street, recording and using facial id on observers, and threatening observers directly. They’ll do it all where you live too.
Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

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.

anyway I did write something last week, it's about one of my favorite cult classics, LADIES & GENTLEMEN, THE FABULOUS STAINS which was just released on disc. in my mind it was always on Night Flight, but I learned they only showed it about half a dozen times! www.salon.com/2026/01/27/t...
The punk rock movie that taught a generation of girls not to put out
The reissue of "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains" reclaims the film as a vital precursor to riot grrrl.

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live."
That's a death threat.
If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.
Now in Maine: ICE watchers say federal agents are coming to their house to threaten and intimidate them.

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Endangering a child and throwing her into a nudity scene with a non-actor completely unprepared should be a career ender if the town learned anything from MeToo. So naturally, he’s nominated for best director.
Not one Academy voter should vote for Ben Safdie for anything
“Three sources say Josh, who is now vying for this year’s best director Oscar, became aware of the girl’s age on the day of production, shortly after the scene shot, as the traumatized girl spiraled.”

Good for them. But I hope they got rabies shots.
Two women have been charged with biting the fingers of U.S. Border Patrol officers moments after federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis over the weekend near the scene of an immigration enforcement action.
Women accused of biting agents’ fingers moments after Alex Pretti was killed; one had tip bitten off
The biting occurred while the women struggled with the agents, according to the charges.
