Wow. San Francisco right now (Fri Jan 30, 2026).
Tens of thousands on the streets supporting a national strike and economic shutdown.
A huge anti-ICE, anti-Trump message being sent from the city.

It took The Boss 4 whole days to write, record & release this, so I expect the MAGA musical response to it could come as early as next week: a scathing indictment of paid agitators & left-wing lunatics! 🤪
Fingers crossed Nikki Manaj, Kid Rock & the Village People don't have any weekend plans.🤞

This just highlights how important the video testimony is of the brave Minnesotan civilians observing. It is crucial resistance - without those videos we'd be even more lost.
The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

His name was Alex Pretti. How many more have to die at the hands of the ICE murderers?
There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.
