L.A. Metro, the main transit operator for Los Angeles, just voted to oppose SB 79, a law legalizing the construction of housing near stations. You can't make this stuff up. Legislators should remember this the next time they come to Sacramento begging for more money.

Another victory for the eugenicists in the White House, and a disaster for world’s ability to respond to disease outbreaks
The US withdrawal from #WHO became official today, leaving the world less prepared for dangerous disease outbreaks. “When that will bite us in the ass, it’s impossible to predict. But there is a 100% certainty that it will bite us in the ass,” one expert told me. www.statnews.com/2026/01/22/u...
U.S. makes exit from the WHO complete

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article.
Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.
ICE Threw Thousands of Kids in Detention, Many For Longer Than Court-Prescribed Limit
Former immigration staffers argue ICE is choosing to detain families for prolonged periods to speed deportations and compel them to leave.

Hypothetically speaking, what would Republican congresspersons do if red district Republicans were being gassed, beaten, and shot dead over a period of a month by federal agents under a Democratic president?

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…”

One small upside to these rushed, illiberal "hate" laws that government ministers can't seem to explain:
I've never heard so much "Are people allowed to say '𝑰𝒔𝒓𝒂𝒆𝒍 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒊𝒅𝒆'?" in mainstream media interviews. Galling that govt can't answer, good that even Karl Stefanovic is asking.

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliating against people who were recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc.) in Southern California.
This is for LA Press Club v. Noem case, but victim does NOT need to be press/journalist. Everyone has right to record. We're fighting for all.

Things briefly brightened up yesterday afternoon (but only briefly). Even managed a look at a former airfield. All in, a superb day, Orkney is worth the effort to reach!

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Just to have it all in one place, all three of these are about the same five year old child, Liam Ramos. They stole him from school, used him as bait, and then sent him to a concentration camp in TX.
Unfathomable cruelty, DHS and ICE must be abolished and every ICE and CBP agent jailed forever.

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Management. What is it that you do besides walking around looking busy?
I am not a social media influencer I am just a regular Minneapolis dad trying to do a kid pickup this morning and get some gas. What do I find but that one guy and a bunch of bortech (whatever that is) blocking the station for a glamour shot. I stood right where I wanted to stand this is my town.
