Cooper also showed video of one of the Border Patrol agents clapping after the shooting. In fact, he showed it three times. That was hard to watch.

After Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine, a friend in Moscow was going to protests and getting detained at them. He typically got released with a court date and then fined. One evening an FSB guy visited him at his home to tell him he should stop going to protests. Police-state shit.
ICE is changing tactics in Maine: "Now, the volunteers in Maine say federal agents have started showing up at their homes and intimidating them or threatening arrest. Some of them, masked and wearing tactical gear, have issued stark warnings not to follow them." www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

A government fictionalizing real events and presenting it as real is a repugnant development that only damages its own credibility further. So any time the White House posts something, you’ve got to assess whether it’s hyper political AI slop or not. Bleh
The White House posted an edited photo of the activist involved in the Minneapolis church protest, made to look like she was crying.

(AP) The memo authorizes ICE officers to use force to enter a residence based solely on a more narrow administrative warrant to arrest someone with a final order of removal, a move that advocates say collides with Fourth Amendment protections & upends years of advice given to immigrant communities.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

It sounds like these goondas are being told that 18 U.S.C. 111 means they can arrest anyone who protests or “opposes” them. They seem to have missed the “forcibly” part. Also, not for nothing, but this crime is a misdemeanor www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

Any staffer who did this would face up to 5 years in prison.
Last night, Donald Trump appeared to release confidential details of the BLS's upcoming December 2025 jobs report on social media. These are inputs that absolutely could have affect markets and impacted trading behavior... which is precisely why they're so closely guarded and NEVER leaked.

Kristi Noem, herself, supplied the method used to ID the agent. She said he "been dragged by a vehicle” in an earlier incident.
@startribune.com reporters, who know their way around court records, quickly unearthed his name and confirmed his identity.
