Thanks for this segment, @velshi.com! Please also bring into the story the infrastructure that supports these tools. Nothing explains the proliferation of hyperscale data centers better than the expansion of the surveillance state and the economics of the cruelty industry.

It’s Time for Concrete Action on ICE. Sadly, We Have the Democrats. Democrats have offered cussing and scolding after the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. We need a real plan of attack, now.

‘Five alarm fire for democracy’: Dems, voting advocates voice outrage at FBI raid of Georgia elections office Outrage and grave concern about the midterm elections followed in the wake of the FBI’s court-authorized raid of the Fulton County, Georgia elections office.

🚨BREAKING: Outrage and grave concern about the midterm elections followed in the wake of the FBI’s court-authorized raid of the Fulton County, Georgia elections office Wednesday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

F.B.I. Agent Who Tried to Investigate ICE Officer in Shooting Resigns

Breaking NYT:

The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

Army vet detained by ICE for 8 hours says he wasn't allowed to call an attorney Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient William Vermie told ABC News that he was tackled and arrested by ICE in Minneapolis and held for eight hours.

They did this to a white male veteran

Disabled son of ICE detainee dies after 30 days of hospitalization It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Almost feels purposeful at this point

Arizona AG warns potential ICE confrontations could turn deadly under state's gun law - Rose Law Group Reporter Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes says she’s concerned that potential confrontations between residents and ICE officers could turn deadly because of an Arizona gun law.

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

key detail most US media isn't reporting:
"No one — certainly not the ICE agents themselves — is even really bothering with the pretext that they’re here to make the city safer. This is Donald Trump’s revenge campaign, and they’re the foot soldiers."

Great turnout today in Scottsdale AZ!

Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down. The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

This is the Trump thug who wants to deny due process rights to everyone else. Turns out he was being investigated for taking $50k cash in an illegal scheme, but Trump’s DOJ dropped it.

This double standard and corruption is infecting our justice system.

Trump wants to stomp out dissent but we refuse to be silent. We must use our economic power to pressure ABC/Disney.

Encourage everyone you know to cancel their Disney+, Hulu, and ESPN+ subscriptions, and post their cancellations to social media using the hashtag #BoycottDisneyABC. 🧵

I'm an old school industrial head and always a sucker for Karplus type delays on drums. Hell yeah
