It’s worth the 5 minutes (or less) it’ll take to scroll through this comic but holy shit it’s some black mirror type stuff.

Ron Wyden Only Talks Like This When The Spies Do Something *Real* Bad No, I don't know what they did. But I have a lot of experience with the senator

“Never once in the many years I have been reporting on Wyden have I ever encountered a warning of his to be hyperbolic, let alone baseless.” www.forever-wars.com/ron-wyden-on...

probably not great that every natsec-adjacent reporter has spent the last 24 hours going "ron wyden expert here, this is not cute, ron wydens only do this when they're very distressed"

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

When they tell you Idaho stands with ICE:

I love how many amazing events took place today as acts of love & solidarity.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

Dear sweet Jesus, what a headline. Who’s next?

I study fascism. I’ve already fled America. On this week’s “More To The Story,” former Yale philosophy professor Jason Stanley explains his recent move to Canada and calls the Trump administration’s takeover of the US government a “coup.”

“A coup is happening in the United States.”

Jason Stanley, author of How Fascism Works, argues that President Donald Trump is leading an unlawful takeover of the US government.

We. Are. Under. Reacting.

ICE OUT actions across Idaho this week Join one of at least NINE ICE OUT protests across Idaho this week.

“Idahoans are shouting from street corners across the state: We want ICE out of our communities, schools, hospitals and workplaces,” said Mike Satz of The Idaho 97 Project.

As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—l've seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly. What's unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn't "protest." It's low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who've clearly studied the playbook. Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups).

🚨 FOX & MAGA are framing resistance to the ICE surge as a centrally organized and well-funded "insurgency" similar to that faced by US forces in Iraq.

This is DANGEROUS rhetoric, setting the stage for vigilante action and/or a massive federal roundup of activists under the guise of anti-terrorism.

"This isn’t about immigration enforcement. This is straight-out fascism. ... They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are beating up and killing citizens to create disruption, so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office."

The only way to respond to bullies is to not give them even an inch.

This guy has a 916 area code because of course he’s a political refugee to Idaho. Raise your hand if you’re surprised. 😑

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.

Listen to wise Professor Timothy Snyder: Thoughts on MN laws, language and leadership. It is in how we treat the law, use the right language, and respect the real leaders, that we will get out of this and become a better country.

Hey, I think I know the guy hollering at him that he’s racist garbage. 😆

Additional context sent to us about this guy makes his values very clear

Kristi Noem and DHS don’t want us to see this video.

📌 Alex was disarmed BEFORE he was shot. This was murder.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

We Cannot Trust The Federal Government To Tell Us The Truth

“Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times.”

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
