“[ELITE] tells you how many people are living in this area and what’s the likelihood of them actually being there,” a deportation officer with ICE’s Fugitive Operations Unit testified. “It’s basically a map of the United States. It’s kind of like Google Maps."

Mind-boggling stuff: ICE has detained 4 Oglala men and is apparently demanding the Lakota--a nation of the continent's original inhabitants--“enter into an immigration agreement with ICE." www.twincities.com/2026/01/13/i...

Up on @flaminghydra.com from me: the child porn app everyone keeps using, the tortured justifications by the addicted which grant AI sentience, and the chasm opening up beneath us with a side of Male Fantasies.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.

Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

The authoritarian destruction of democracy in action. This is one of many reasons why removing Trump is only part 1 of dismantling American authoritarianism.

Close to 90 million people did NOT vote in the 2024 election.

90 million.

It bears repeating over and over and over.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Pretty willd how the DOJ just straight up stopped releasing the Epstein files even though they're legally obligated to do so.

Yeah, antisemitism. It's a thing. And it's a bigger thing than even people willing to admit it seem to want to believe.
Conservative media are promoting a GiveSendGo fundraiser for the ICE agent who killed Renee Good. The page includes the following statement from the organizer: "But this didn't happen in a vacuum—it's the direct result of anti-American traitors like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (who is Jewish)"

Minneapolis right now—

At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

ICE can’t function without help from the private sector. So we should force the private sector to stop helping.

You know what to do with this?

I am not going to credit folks who record things like this because that last thing we need is resisters getting pinched by feds because they are tracing all of our posts.

I expect the same courtesy on this kind of thing that I provide.

Photojournalist Aaron Marckell Williams was killed in a crosswalk as the result of a police chase over a traffic violation. DC local law had made such chases illegal - House Republicans voted to overturn that law last year.
