CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Affiche la Digue rassemblement 18h30 28 janvier Quai d'Orsay

La Digue appelle à un rassemblement de solidarité avec le peuple palesti... ah, non, avec le peuple américain, ce mercredi devant le MEAE.
What a time to be alive...

Rod Stewart calls out “draft dodger” Trump for denigrating the service of allied combat vets, and says that PM Keir Starmer must insist that Trump publicly apologize.

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

Over 1000 businesses closed protesting ICE terror, organized by labor and the community, before the stock market opens.

Over 130 actions in cities across the country, all organized in the past week.

The market may ignore it, but today is too big for the administration to brush off.

Hur kan detta inte vara en större nyhet idag? Ja, det händer väldigt mycket och väldigt stora saker just nu. Det är svårt att hänga med själv.
Men det ÄR en stor nyhet att en stat attackerar FN på det här sättet.

It might sound silly, but I mean it: The easiest and most potent way for Europe to hurt Trump this year is to once again use its cultural soft power and to threaten a boycott of the World Cup. It would become a completely meaningless event and would hurt him where he is most vulnerable - his vanity.

I feel like America plotting to annex Greenland while masked state goons terrorise their own communities at will should encourage British press and politicians to reflect on what happens when you act like "far right" is an unfair slur rather than a necessary descriptor of a real political position.

Just a reminder that Trump is selling Venezuelan oil and depositing the proceeds into a bank account in Qatar that is NOT under any control by the US government or Congress.

He's just stealing it. It really is that simple.

The EU cut a deal with Trump on tariffs, hoping it would get him off their backs. Hopefully they have learned the lesson: any concession simply invites more demands. The only way to beat a bully is to tell him to go to hell.

A year into Trump’s second term and the nation is visibly destabilized. Internal divisions have hardened into open conflict, state and federal authorities are at odds, and our allies are quietly preparing to defend themselves from us.

A Minneapolis pastor:“I said I am not afraid and they pointed a g*n in my face.
ICE put handcuffs on my hands and put me in a black SUV.
A few moments later they came back and said are you afraid yet?”

At a church in Minneapolis that is hosting an anti-ICE singing vigil, which will later process through the neighborhood.

They sing: “This is for our neighbors who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE.”

We did a ride along. Not with law enforcement. But with the Minneapolis residents defending their communities from those very officers.

@premthakker.bsky.social's front-row seat at ICE's psychological warzone in Minnesota — and how residents are banding together against it:

Anti-ICE protesters are having a rolling noise demo and protest in downtown Minneapolis targeting hotels where federal agents are reportedly staying -- starting at the Canopy by Hilton and going to the Renaissance Minneapolis Hotel. Police have just arrived as we are posting this.

A mountain of flowers at the site where Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee.

Sign reading, "she was good."

It’s hard to know if people outside MN understand how much of life is grinding to a halt here because of Trump’s occupation. Schools have shut down, businesses are scaling back hours or closing because their employees aren’t safe. The whole city is weighted down.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Hannity: Did you at any point offered to give him the Nobel peace prize?

Machado: It hasn’t happened yet. We want to give it to him. Share it with him.

Niklas Rådström: Jag måste få säga det – jag skäms över Sverige Det spelar ingen roll vad invandrare gör för att integreras – i dagens Sverige har de ändå inte en chans.

”Givetvis kan inte gängbrottsligheten bekämpas genom att utvisa fast anställda undersköterskor i Norrlands inland, men ändå låter vi den skändliga politiken dirigeras av mobbare. Det är bisarrt och beklämmande att bevittna”

The conversation on Threads

“We’re going to be very strongly involved in it,” Trump says about the future of Venezuela’s oil industry on Fox News

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

The US attack on Venezuela is rampantly and shamelessly illegal.

Donald Trump has repeatedly made it clear that the US wants to steal Venezuela's resources.

This gangsterism, trashing anything left of the 'international order', will pave the way for global violent mayhem.
