Veterans Affairs employees have not received any agencywide acknowledgment of the killing of Alex Pretti, who worked at the Minneapolis VA.

Officials also initially blocked hospital employees there from holding a memorial, though that was later reversed.

We're demanding an end to this inhumane treatment and to immigration detention at Fort Bliss for good.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day.

ICE just showed up at our house for the second day in a row. Four cars yesterday, today five. They rolled up slow, then got out to taunt us, and take pictures of the house. They want fear to overwhelm us, to project a fantasy of power meant to intimidate, isolate, produce obedience—not happening.

It’s really difficult & disorienting but the feds hit LA extremely hard today. There were kidnappings all over & reported cluster raids in Chinatown, East LA, Ktown. This list shows to 1130 AM but they haven’t stopped all day

ICE & CBP have been out kidnapping people in Los Angeles every day since June. The media has moved on and acts like this isn’t still happening. The crises are ongoing. Solidarity with the people fighting back in Minneapolis and everywhere.
please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.

people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

It has been incredibly influential in global destabilization because it's how a lot of different corrupt enterprises are paid, it is basically the currency of scams which are eroding, trust and draining seniors, and it is deeply embedded in crank BS.

It very much looks like the US Government has just abducted two people from Scotland hours after our Court of Session ordered that they not be removed.

The US is a rogue state. It's time to evict their troops from their de-facto base at (publicly owned) Prestwick airport.

And it's funny how much "immigrants" (I know which kind they mean) perceive science / math to be more fair. Science and math professors openly encouraged my black american friends to drop out of their classes, even when they werent performing poorly.

I can guess that person's ethnicity based on how they talk about "sports based on grit and hustle" by the way.
January 29, 2026 at 1:51 AM
absolutely depends which kinds of immigrants
Immigrants tend to gravitate (and steer their children) towards fields with objective answers bc of the fear of being discriminated against in the subjective ones.

Same reason they steer their kids away from sports where talent evaluation is based on "the coach thinks you have grit and hustle".
