It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

I’ve seen so much during this war that I’m rarely moved to tears anymore, but this video was different. Seeing support from people all around the world is incredibly touching; it actually made me well up 🥹

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

As someone who worked for NATO and spent a year in Afghanistan, I wholeheartedly agree.

UK PM Keir Starmer calls US President Donald Trump's remarks about NATO troops in Afghanistan "insulting and frankly appalling".

I suspect confusion is the point. Some people may know to ask “Do you have a warrant?” but it is a lot to ask for an average person to know the difference between an administrative and judicial warrant. It’s deceptive and coercive.
A judge should order DHS to stop calling the Form-205 a “warrant”. It’ creates tremendous confusion among the public, intentionally one might argue.

There’s more or less one kind of Miranda warning. There ought to be one kind of warrant.

Here's a rundown of what I know (or seen evidence of) to be in Greenland:

Denmark has 300 (visually confirmed) to 500+ troops including many from Jaeger Corps – one of the top arctic warfare special ops groups in the world, led by the commander of the Danish Army, Maj. Gen. Peter H. Boysen.

Latest statistics show plastic recycling rates remain low globally (9%) and in the U.S. (5%). 22-24% of plastic waste is "mismanaged" (leaking into the environment), while 49% goes to landfills and 19% is incinerated. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #FridayFieldUpdate #PlasticRecyclingRates #Pollution

You don’t know true bravery until you decide to ride an elevator in Kyiv during emergency blackouts which means even if light is on for the moment there is no way of knowing when it’s gonna go out again

Unexpected Kyiv dilemma: when you feel so excited light returned after 7 hours of blackout that it’s hard to go to sleep. so many things to do! It’s like a friend you missed so much - and now he’s here, and you just.. go to sleep? Like, how do you do that?

But the narrower options, a cyberattack or a strike against Iran’s domestic security apparatus, which is using lethal force against protesters, are more likely, the official said. Any attack is at least several days away.
The Pentagon is presenting President Trump a wider range of strike options than previously reported, with potential targets including Iran’s nuclear facilities, ballistic missile sites, and domestic security forces like the Basij militia involved in suppressing protests. -NYT

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

Meanwhile in Russia: Vladimir Solovyov was quite unhappy about the first 10 days of 2026. Referring to Trump's rhetoric about Greenland and Venezuela, Solovyov urged Russia to start more "special military operations" to secure its sphere of influence.

"people can hold out at most two more nights.

A lot of people are killed in the south Tehran (poorest part of Tehran). If outside assistance is coming, it must come now.

People need to see tangible, kinetic action to sustain hope."

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to:

* 8 people shot
* 5 of which were U.S. citizens
* 2 died
* no victims drew a weapon

The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire
