This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too!

The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.

Beyond black: Why polished aluminium is quietly making a comeback With Shimano and SRAM both now offering limited edition silver groupsets, is there a polished aluminium renaissance underway?

Polished silver components seem to be everywhere at the moment. We look into why they're making a comeback, why now, what complexities they introduce in the manufacturing process, and what made them go away in the first place.

Visual SLAM is now real. Paul Mandel at Robust.AI (where I am CTO) says: We just moved into a new office and it took our team under an hour from uncrating Carter to driving around autonomously, including bringup, mapping the entire (large!) new space and annotating locations of interest. Incredible!

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

Elderly nanny arrested in S.F. by immigration agents is ordered released The San Francisco Rapid Response Network said an "elderly nanny" was arrested by immigration agents "on her way to work" Friday.

ICE has no boundaries — today, wearing their masks in Diamond Heights, they grabbed an elderly nanny who’s here legally.

A judge has ordered her release.

This is why the work we do to ban these masks & authorize people to sue agents who violate their rights is so important.

Y'all, ICE thugs are still terrorizing people in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

They are counting on America looking away, and it's currently working. Please tell everyone you know, please reach out to people with huge followings, and ask them to help refocus our attention on the ongoing abuses.

Goldman: You said references to ICE as secret police encourages threats. The problem is you have it backwards sir. People are making valid observations about your tactics which are outright fascist. If you don’t want to be called a fascist regime, stop acting like one.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.

“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

This is horrifying for so many reasons. The one I'm thinking of right now is the billion dollars spent to torture and terrorize and imprison people could easily buy all of us healthcare, child care, parental leave, affordable housing ... all the things the Epstein Class swears we can't afford.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
