YouTube video by RT 36th & Park, Mpls Jan 13, 2026

The video is real. This was posted almost 2 weeks ago from another angle. The incident with Pretti begins around 17:00

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

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.

The video from the woman in the purple coat

So I watched the shooting video frame by frame and it looks like:

1) They were beating a struggling man with batons

2) His jacket opened revealing a gun in his waistband or lower back

3) The agent in gray grabbed the gun and was walking away

4) THEN the other agents shot the man in the back

Fog of war.

"It's like Call of Duty. So cool, huh?"

I just responded to the scene at 26th and Nicollet shortly after the observer was shot. They teargassed and/or pepper sprayed Jana Shortal of KARE11 at the scene and she was being treated when I walked up. ICE have a fancy camera they are using to scan the faces of the crowd.

NEW: ICE just executed another person in Minneapolis.

This is the video.

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

Blockety block block BLOCK!!!

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I will be listening to the audiobook this week!

WOW. This new Ari Kuschnir short about Donald Trump's White House ballroom is AMAZING.

EX GREEN BERET: “In my entire career, I never witnessed the brutality and use of indiscriminate & unnecessary force against an unarmed, starving civilian population until I was in Gaza at the hands of IDF & US contractors… without question, war crimes.”

The Trump administration just awarded Virginia-based Acquisition Logistics a $1.26 billion contract to operate a 5,000-bed tent camp on Fort Bliss in El Paso. The company previously got just $29 million in DOD logistics contracts over 5 years; now it'll run the largest detention camp in the US.

There are 50,000 undocumented Irish in the USA.

There are no plans to move any of them into FLA concentration camps or El Salvador torture gulags.

And everyone knows why.

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
 
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

YouTube video by Democracy Docket BREAKING: Supreme Court Limits Courts' Power to Block Trump's Policies

🚨NEW VIDEO: In a sweeping ruling, the Supreme Court limited the ability of federal judges to block executive actions throughout the country through nationwide injunctions, greatly affecting how parties seek judicial relief going forward. Paige and I discuss. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfTi...

I ❤️ NY. Although I'm no longer in the city, I am back living in the state, and I am so proud to be a New Yorker tonight. I hope Democrats nationwide pay attention to what just happened.

AOC from the top rope 🔥….grandpa is gonna love that last part

As J. Sotomayors dissent says, the Republican Justices seem to think the Trump admin is injured “any time a court orders…it to refrain from doing something it would like to do.”

But it cares nothing for the people sent to countries they don’t know - places they’re at risk of slavery, torture, more.

NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was just arrested by Trump’s ICE agents because he asked to see a judicial warrant.

This is fascism and all New Yorkers must speak in one voice. Release him now.

LAPD when they think no one’s looking

San Antonio Express-News ® @ExpressNews Sen. Rafael Edward Cruz, who uses the preferred name Ted, has introduced a bill to limit the use of preferred names and pronouns.

This is it. We're here.

I understand that Dems may have no realistic way to actually stop this, but this is the political hill to die on right now and if there was ever a time to throw everything they have at one issue this is it
