you can establish probable cause and issue a warrant entirely using video that is already available to the public
Q: Is there anything stopping state law enforcement from conducted an independent investigation even if the feds don't want it?

JACOBSON: Without assistance from the FBI, we would be at a loss to be able to initiate & conduct a thorough investigation. It would be very difficult if not impossible

There are a bunch of fake pictures of protests among my friend networks on other sites. They are really, obviously AI, but I understand how in all the pressures at the moment you can see it, have a feeling, and hit share.

Instead: go to local news. Here’s my outlet I write for. There are others.

Friends, thank you for stepping up! Over $40,000 worth of dash cams have been ordered so far for ICE observers in the Twin Cities!

Early orders are trickling in, but we’re getting them packed and deployed ASAFP - several were installed yesterday, these are ready, and 300+ are on the way!

Nothing so perfectly proves the concept of whiteness as a social construct than the reality that white people who stand up for minorities forfeit some of the protections that whiteness afforded them.

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up.

Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes.

Anytime you’re tempted to cry, “but not me, I’m a good one!” when someone is calling out a group you’re part of, take that energy and join in the call out. If you aren’t actively involved in dismantling the toxic shit in that group, then yes, you. If you are considered fine and polite by your fellow

Abolish Ice, fire them all, and then prosecute everyone, based on every complaint. I don't care if it takes a decade. I want these people ten years from now afraid that their friends and loved ones will find out they worked for ICE.
If ICE can do this to a random woman in a car, they could and would absolutely do this to any elected official, journalists, human rights lawyer, or immigration advocate they deem to be an enemy of the regime
Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

You do not need to "bear witness" to it, and you do not need to show it to other people. It is enough to report the facts and testimonies of the case
This is probably a much better place than Twitter was during Black Lives Matter. But just in case, do NOT post people being murdered on the timeline.

Hybrid working isn’t a pandemic hangover. In the UK it’s now normal – averaging nearly two days a week – and it’s here to stay

Where hybrid working really delivers is employment. It expands the labour pool – especially for disabled people and parents.
