At the Liberty Science theater they have a Departure/Arrivals screen for diseases and it is the most depressing and anger-inducing thing I’ve seen in a while.

Congrats! When you get the BWC footage, use Relativity for review. Their AvTranscribe tool has excellent machine transcription quality (better than OtterAI). I recently processed 60 hours of video in just 20 minutes iirc

We’ve added on some custom facial recognition and other ai models when we use

UK bank bosses plan to set up Visa and Mastercard alternative amid Trump fears Exclusive: First meeting to be held over domestic payments system aimed at reducing reliance on US networks

β€œIf Mastercard and Visa were turned off, it would send us back to the 1950s,” before cards dominated the UK economy, and businesses wholly relied on cash, one executive familiar with the project told the Guardian.

β€œOf course, we need a sovereign payments system.”

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

Stasi or Nazi. In the sick, twisted, minds (or what's left of their brains) of Trump, Miller, Noem, Bovino and their loyal masked thugs, this is a war of us vs. them. And, in war, in their playbook, anything goes ... anything.

So far in Minnesota

They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school.

Then Ice kidnapped a five year old.

Then ice kidnapped a two year old

Then border patrol murdered Va nurse.

Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

The first Minnesota murder, they refused to let a medical professional help the woman they shot. The second Minnesota murder, they simply shot the medical professional.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

24.01.2026 23:18 β€” πŸ‘ 15143    πŸ” 4265    πŸ’¬ 419    πŸ“Œ 154

Alex Pretti’s last words were β€œare you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Let’s be clear: anyone defending the Trump Administration after watching masked, anonymous agents assault a man, pepper spray him, then fire 5+ rounds into his back is irretrievably complicit in political terrorism.

It's time to identify those 23 people and begin the pressure on them. This administration will not stop, even if the courts order it. That much is clear.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

the most important comment here isn’t about the gun, it’s the β€œi think the video speaks for itself”

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump β€” 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Microsoft Gave FBI BitLocker Encryption Keys, Exposing Privacy Flaw The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.

Do not store your Bitlocker encryption keys on Microsoft's servers if your threat model includes governments or law enforcement. As this article points out, this is the result of a design choice Microsoft made. It didn't have to be this way. www.forbes.com/sites/thomas...

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.

"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

Warriors coach Steve Kerr was asked about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis. Here are his full comments:

A suburban mom with stuffed animals in the glove box and her dog in the back seat was executed in broad daylight and they're calling her a domestic terrorist. Murderers.

What I see and what is being described in reporting based on video review is not a concistent with a vehicle ramming attack. Reports also indicate the agent was not in the vehicle’s direct path when shots were fired and that at least some shots were fired from the side as the vehicle moved away. 4/7

I have written on this tactic for over a decade. I hold a research grant on vehicle ramming attacks, and I curate what I believe is the largest database of these incidents, over 500 cases worldwide since 1987. 2/7

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me"

you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist
