A Kyiv resident shared how he stays warm inside a tent in his apartment, without electricity or heating.

"This is how we slept. It’s very warm and cozy here.Since we only have power for about an hour a day, I’m afraid that during the other 23 hours it could freeze and turn to ice."

The other day I bitched that people always forget LaMonica McIver in their list of politicized prosecutions.

The New Yorker has a profile here, so hopefully we can change that.

LaMonica McIver went to tour an immigration jail in her district. Now she faces seventeen years in prison.

Also, please note: they tried very hard to be scary, kept saying “this is where you live, go home” over the loudspeaker. But when you continue to follow them, they don’t arrest you, they run. Their tactics are based in fear and bullying, not any true legal authority.
Here’s a really tense ICE situation in front of my home. One car looped a block 25 times until two reinforcement cars showed up and led me home. Was pretty scary because I was solo - BUT I knew I had backup from thousands of courageous neighbors and observers. Strength in numbers.

When a neighborhood in Minnesota didn't have whistles to alert each other of an ICE raid, they began setting off their car alarms with their fobs so people would look out the window & see them. 🙌🏻🚨

All 10 ICE agents left.

I see America has declared a new trade war on Finland for “journeying to Greenland for purposes unknown”. I ask all good Americans now to demand an end to this weird and damaging action. How can you stand by mutely?

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Almost surely won't happen, but it should. History will remember that they have done nothing as Trump destroys NATO and Fed independence
With Trump going full authoritarian on Venezuela-Greenland, ICE, and the Fed, the response has to be serious. Four Republican senators (Tillis, McConnell, Murkowski, Collins?) could announce they’ll caucus for now with the Dems to give them control of the Senate to check Trump.

JONATHAN ROSS THREAD: 🧵 I think a certain # of women have seen the video from Ross’s cellphone showing the taunts that led to Renee’s murder.

And we feel in our bones that we’ve left immigration officer territory and entered domestic violence territory very quickly.

Collected some videos of the Vigil for Renee Good on the street she was murdered.

No song better than Earth To Eve's haunting lyrics.

I'm so touched & impressed with how Minnesota feels protective & connected with their community. ❤️‍🩹🙌🏻

ICE is the worst of us. MN is the best of us.

Shot in the face.
🚨Video from today shows ICE firing into a car & killing someone as it was driving AWAY from agents. After the shooting, witnesses say ICE blocked a DR. from reaching the victim. These are observable actions on camera. Please share this video everywhere. Accountability depends on facts, Propaganda!

yeah... i was thinking when i first heard of this shooting, 'wow, i didn't think Minneapolis would be the starting point of the civil war.'

but, frankly, the rest of the world would be better off if Americans do, in fact, do the civil war.

fight THEM, not us.

Valero Energy is up more than 9% today. Why? Because it owns Gulf refineries built for Venezuelan heavy crude.

This is the same reason why MAGA billionaire Paul Singer profited from the U.S. military raid.
