The @mayorofchicago.bsky.social has signed an executive order directing local police to investigate misconduct by federal immigration agents. Mayor Brandon Johnson says it is an effort to hold the Trump administration accountable and create "a model for the rest of the country."

I witnessed ICE using tear gas on children.

They shattered a window of low-income housing where a disabled vet lives. He got gassed in his own home.

This was the kind of treatment the union activists got today from Oregon’s largest unions alongside coalitions like @jwjpdx.bsky.social. They fired projectiles and injured many demonstrators and broke out neighbors windows. Gas for a half dozen miles in each direction. #iceout

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, on January 24. DHS claims he died after an armed struggle, but videos of the incident appears to contradict that claim. Read our analysis here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

a skilled ER nurse with a deep sense of civic responsibility is exactly the kind of person you want carrying a firearm.

every ICE employee should be barred from touching anything deadlier than a butter knife for the rest of their natural lives.

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.

Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.

And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

Better yet, disestablish all of DHS, and undo the nightmarish idiocies that we created in a panic 25 years ago. Reestablish the INS, get rid of ODNI, fix the damage from the Patriot Act, etc.

🔴 BREAKING: An ICE agent has shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis during a federal immigration enforcement operation. Federal officials claim the woman was driving a vehicle that moved toward agents, prompting an officer to open fire, AP reports. Witnesses at the scene have disputed that account. Bystanders told reporters that the vehicle was either stopped or moving slowly and questioned whether the woman posed an immediate threat when she was shot, contradicting federal claims that agents were in danger. The shooting occurred amid a broader federal immigration crackdown, with thousands of federal agents deployed across the Twin Cities region. The incident sparked protests at the scene and drew condemnation from local officials, including the mayor, who called for federal agents to leave the city. Additional witness video raises further concerns about what happened after the shooting. In footage circulating online, a man identifying himself as a physician attempts to approach the vehicle to provide medical assistance, repeatedly stating that the woman is bleeding and that someone medically trained needs to intervene. Agents are seen pointing weapons at him and ordering him to back away, preventing aid while the woman remained inside the car and died, as medics arrived later. Authorities have not released body-camera footage or publicly addressed these witness accounts. Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC 🚨BREAKING — Content Warning: Disturbing ICE/Border Patrol agents have shot a woman, who was a legal observer, in the face and killed her in a Minneapolis neighborhood. Details are still emerging, and the exact circumstances have not yet been officially confirmed. According to video from the scene, a man heard gunshots and ran outside. The wife of the victim, who was in the car, is sitting on the ground nearby with a dog, visibly distressed. In the video, she is heard saying they had stopped to film, she yelled something, and moments later agents fired, fatally shooting the woman. What happens next is even more alarming. A man identifying himself as a physician attempts to approach the scene to provide medical assistance. He repeatedly tells agents that someone medically trained needs to intervene, that the victim is bleeding, and that a doctor is required to assess or pronounce death. Instead of allowing aid, agents point guns at him, threaten him, and force him to back away… leaving the woman shot inside the car without assistance. Eventually, medics arrive and remove the woman from the vehicle. This is an active, developing situation. More verified information is needed, but the video raises serious and urgent questions about use of force, denial of medical aid, and accountability.

🔴 NEW: Israel has authorized the use of electronic tracking devices on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, allowing real-time surveillance of civilians placed under administrative movement restrictions, a new IDF directive states. It applies to civilians who have not been charged, tried, or convicted of any crime, and embeds electronic tagging into Israel’s system of military rule. The measure allows authorities to force individuals to wear or carry monitoring devices and criminalizes tampering. Israel’s defense minister Israel Katz has explicitly excluded Jewish settlers in the West Bank from the order. It was issued with coordination between the Israel Defense Forces, Israel Security Agency, Israel Police, the Ministry of Justice, and the military’s legal authorities for the West Bank. The move aligns with what journalist and filmmaker Antony Loewenstein describes as Israel’s “Palestine Laboratory.” In his work, Loewenstein argues that Israel exports not only weapons, but a model for controlling “difficult populations”—a comprehensive system combining military force, mass surveillance technology, and spatial control. This includes biometric checkpoints, AI-monitored CCTV networks, facial-recognition systems such as Red Wolf and Blue Wolf, and invasive spyware like Pegasus. These tools are deployed against Palestinian civilians, journalists, and non-violent human rights activists, many of whom are subjected to administrative detention or heightened movement and surveillance restrictions. The same repressive technologies are later marketed abroad as “battle-tested” solutions. Video: @antloewenstein | @AJEnglish (full doc below)

New scathing report from the UN shows that AI technology and reduced social media safety features have dramatically increased online harassment and violence directed towards women.

It's also making journalists and activists lives much harder
Online violence1 is an escalating threat to women’s participation in public life and democratic deliberation in the AI Age, especially in the context of rising authoritarianism, increased repression of women’s rights organizations, and networked misogyny. It is designed to stymie women’s freedom of expression and part of a burgeoning strategy to roll back their hard-won right to gender equality and empowerment. New data from a UN Women-comissioned survey of women in the public sphere, focused on women human rights defenders, activists and journalists, demonstrates the scale of the problem and the function of artificial intelligence technologies in its manifestations. It also highlights an alarming trend in the trajectory of online violence to offline attacks, abuse and harassment, proving that there is nothing virtual about online violence. The global survey, fielded in late 2025 in five languages2, was modelled on a 2020 survey which underpinned a landmark study, an excerpt from which was published by UNESCO in 2021 titled The Chilling: Trends in Online Violence Against Women Journalists. This report analyzes the responses of over 6403 women-identifying survey participants from 119 countries and delivers the following key findings:4 70% 24% 41% 640 women respondents FROM 119 countries 42% of women human rights defenders, activists, journalists and media workers surveyed have experienced online violence in the course of their work said that they had experienced AIassisted online violence experienced offline attacks, abuse or harassment that they linked with online violence DEFINING ONLINE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN of women journalists and media workers surveyed said that they had experienced offline harm triggered by online violence — more than double the incidence rate recorded in 20204

17 strikes and you’re out. 💀
By and large, however, the allegations against the other social media platforms are less detailed than those against Meta. The internal documents cited by the plaintiffs allege: Meta intentionally designed its youth safety features to be ineffective and rarely used, and blocked testing of safety features that it feared might be harmful to growth. Meta required users to be caught 17 times attempting to traffic people for sex before it would remove them from its platform, which a document described as “a very, very, very high strike threshold." Meta recognized that optimizing its products to increase teen engagement resulted in serving them more harmful content, but did so anyway. Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act.

it's wild to watch this happening in a situation where we've had no prior military engagements with the country or recent attack to even drum up a public desire for vengeance. nothing at all is going down but Trump is clearly trying to push Iraq 2.0 on the country.
