I asked this before. Allowing retards to use the reading thread to """debate""" using their faggy-ass sub-literate """libertarian""" cliches was a weird decision, and apparently purely a consequence of us just being very chill.

ICE Agents Film Minnesota Protesters & Immigrants as Part of Massive Facial Recognition Push | Democracy Now!

ICE and CBP are using facial recognition technology to facilitate President Trump's mass deportation campaign. With a smartphone app, immigration officers can scan faces of people they encounter and quickly search those faces against 200 million images stored in several government databases that are "notoriously error-filled," according to Nathan Freed Wessler, deputy director of the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project. "It's being used on the street in ways that are dangerous, that are totally unprecedented in this country, and that are, frankly, blatantly illegal," he adds.

I want you to all witness something specific this moment in America.

As armed US forces carry out state-sponsored violence, the people are not accepting it. They are calling to fight back, recognizing very well that fighting back comes with risk- as high as being killed. Still, they are calling for confrontation.

I say this to remind everyone that when abuse and violence is enacted on us- Palestinians- systemically, consistently, and relentlessly by Israel with US weapons, the world orders us to endure it, and to “co-exist” with this violence, and went as far to suggest that we should negotiate with Israeli serial killers– who proudly flaunted their mass slaughter to the world as a show of force.

Do you perhaps understand a little more how absurd these demands were? To ask a people to accept and negotiate with brute violence which is willing to detain children, and either murder or torture people.

Do you perhaps understand a little more how abusive of a demand you pushed on us?

Now that there is a point of reference closer to home, can you for a moment, just a moment, recognize what you were ordering us to do?

Justice for Hind Rajab: On the Second Anniversary of Her Killing, The Fight Is Real. The Cases Are Active
On the second anniversary of the killing of five-year-old Hind Rajab, we mark not only a moment of remembrance, but a moment of accountability. We know who killed her. Their names, ranks, units, and chains of command have been identified, and their anonymity has been stripped away. The Hind Rajab Foundation is actively moving on these perpetrators through concrete legal cases in real jurisdictions.

January 29 marks the second anniversary of the killing of five-year-old Hind Rajab— the child whose name drives our mission, and whose life remains the moral center and guiding light of The Hind Rajab Foundation.

…

We know their names, ranks, units, and locations, including the heads of the snake:

Beni Aharon: Sr. Commanding Officer of the 401st Armored Brigade operating in Gaza City during the attack.
Daniel Ella: Lt. Colonel and battalion-level commander of the 52nd Battalion, directly under the 401st Brigade at the time of the murders.
Sean Glass: Commander of the “Vampire Empire” Company, 52nd Battalion, 401st Armored Brigade, responsible for the unit that committed the murders.

We have identified 21 additional IDF soldiers and tank crew members from the same unit and we are filing cases against every single one of them.

AbbyMartin visits Alex Pretti's vigil in Minneapolis and calls on the public to join the national strike this Friday against ICE to disrupt capital and the bipartisan killing machine of US imperialism

PSL National:
We support the call from Minnesota-based Black and Somali student organizations — on Friday, January 30, join the national day of action to say ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE!

Last Friday, people from all walks of life came together in the Twin Cities and all across Minnesota had a day of “no work, no school, no shopping” and shut it down. It captured the imagination of the whole country. They’ve shown the way for all of us — to stop ICE’s reign of terror, we need to SHUT IT DOWN. What happened in Minnesota can happen across the entire country.

Now is the decisive moment. The Minnesota General Strike has given us a historic opening. If we all take a stand now, we can stop the killings and the kidnappings, and end Trump’s war on our most basic rights!

Make a plan. Organize your people. Stay tuned for actions this January 30 around the country.

Trump threatens Iran, & confirms the other "Armada" he mentioned earlier is just USS Lincoln group that already arrived in the region…

"A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. It is a larger fleet, headed by the great Aircraft Carrier Abraham Lincoln, than that sent to Venezuela.

Like with Venezuela, it is, ready, willing, and able to rapidly fulfill its mission, with speed and violence, if necessary. Hopefully Iran will quickly “Come to the Table” and negotiate a fair and equitable deal - NO NUCLEAR WEAPONS - one that is good for all parties.

Time is running out, it is truly of the essence! As I told Iran once before, MAKE A DEAL! They didn’t, and there was “Operation Midnight Hammer,” a major destruction of Iran. The next attack will be far worse! Don’t make that happen again. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

https://x.com/MenchOsint/status/2016493839180050647
As Trump posted this, a Surveillance UAV of the IRGC (a likely Shahed-129, armed with guided-missiles) is patrolling right over the area where the "Armada" is located, far from Iran's coast.

New Mossad recruitment ads exploit Iran’s unrest with help from US comedian
Mossad is taking advantage of deadly riots that rocked Iran this month to solicit spies through a series of social media ads. In one of history’s strangest collaborations, the Israeli intel agency has purchased the ads through an LLC owned by Atlanta-based standup comic Desi Banks.

Update: This report and a September 2025 article by journalist Jack Poulson have resulted in the termination of Farsi-language recruitment ads by Israel’s Mossad assassination agency.

Google has suspended the company used to purchase those ads on the grounds of “egregious” violations. But the Atlanta-based comedian who owns that company, Desi Banks, still refuses to answer our requests for comment.

Update #2: Desi Banks has finally commented on the affair, claiming ignorance of how his LLC was used to purchase ads recruiting Iranians for the Mossad. “I have kids, and never in my life would I be involved in something like this,” Banks stated on Twitter/X. However, the comedian has provided no details on how his LLC was used for such clearly malicious purposes.

Days after anti-government rioters spread mayhem across Iranian cities, Israel’s Mossad published a new series of Farsi-language online recruitment ads. The Israeli foreign intelligence service has taken partial credit for the deadly unrest, pledging in a December 29 Twitter/X post that its agents were “in the field” with protesters. Now, it is escalating its infiltration efforts by soliciting spies inside Iran and throughout the Persian diaspora.

One of the most recent ads appeared January 14 on a Twitter/X account associated with Israeli intelligence, @payameabi. It featured a short AI video showing an Iranian protester seated defiantly in the middle of a street, confronting a phalanx of state security officers on motorbikes.

“Your role, Iranians abroad, is vital,” the tweet by @payameabi declares. “The final days of the regime have arrived. If you know someone who works in sensitive industries and centers, call us… Our organization is by your side.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi:
Several countries are presently attempting to avert the eruption of all-out war in our region. None of them are European.

Europe is instead busy fanning the flames. After pursuing 'snapback' at the behest of the U.S., it is now making another major strategic mistake by designating our National Military as a supposed "terrorist organization".

Putting aside the blatant hypocrisy of its selective outrage—taking zero action in response to Israel's Genocide in Gaza and yet rushing to "defend human rights" in Iran—Europe's PR stunt mainly seeks to cloak that it is an actor in severe decline.

Moreover, as the continent is certain to be massively impacted by an all-out war in our region—including the knock-on effects of surging energy prices—the EU's current posture is deeply damaging to its own interests.

Europeans deserve better than what their governments have to offer.

Indication That Alex Pretti Was Known to Federal Agents Raises New Questions Over Protester ‘Database’
CNN reported Tuesday that Pretti, the Minneapolis nurse who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents while acting as a legal observer and trying to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed by one officer, was known to federal officers before his killing last weekend. About a week earlier, he had been tackled by a group of agents who broke his rib when he was protesting the detention of a community member.

As protesters moved closer to the facility in the small town of Dilley, Texas state police officers arrived on a school bus and shouted instructions for the crowd to move back. Some of the officers then deployed pepper balls, dispersing the crowd. Castro later posted a picture on social media of his visit with 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias.

The ACLU Wants to Shrink Workers’ Speech Protections
Back in 2024, I wrote about a curious case at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in which the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) was pursuing exotic legal theories that would, if adopted by the NLRB or courts, curtail the rights of workers across the country. This included the theory that the then–general counsel of the NLRB, Jennifer Abruzzo, was illegally appointed and the theory that the NLRB must defer to private arbitration proceedings even in the absence of a collective-bargaining agreement. The former theory would have invalidated a large amount of precedent established by General Counsel Abruzzo, while the latter theory would have allowed employers to limit the rights of workers to pursue unfair labor practice charges at the NLRB. The ACLU was pursuing these theories as part of a scorched-earth effort to not provide back pay and reinstatement to one of its former employees, Katherine Oh. Oh, along with her coworkers, had criticized the way certain managers treated employees and the ACLU fired her in response to those criticisms. In firing her, the ACLU claimed that Oh, who is herself nonwhite, was being racist by criticizing her likewise nonwhite bosses even though her statements contained no racial content at all. Both a private arbitrator and an NLRB administrative law judge (ALJ) have since ruled in favor of Oh and against the ACLU. The arbitrator ruled that, in firing Oh, the ACLU had violated its own just-cause termination policy, while the ALJ ruled that, in firing Oh, the ACLU had violated Section 8(a)(1) of the National Labor Relations Act.
