Not me seeing "I sold my Tesla" and "I quit Twitter" posts in January 2026.

Sorry, but no. You had at least a year, generously. We know where you stand.

The cruelty is the point.

Report: Recovering hunger strikers prematurely discharged from hospital.

Doctors warn "the process of 'refeeding' can have life threatening consequences if not properly managed".

19 January 1902 | A Jewish artist David Olère was born in Warsaw. In 1918 he emigrated to France.

In March 1943 he was deported to Auschwitz where he was forced to work in Sonderkommando. After the war he showed the horrifying world of gas chambers in drawings & paintings.

Germany needs a new Trump strategy.

In 2025, German car manufacturer Volkswagen lost 8 percent of their car exports due to Trump tariffs, reports Danish Radio P1.

Germany tried speaking softly to Trump, and what did they get this week? More Trump tariffs.

Pleasing a bully NEVER works. It is time to show Trump that we are united and strong, and his attacks will cost him dearly.

Only then will he look for someone else to harass.

As the Canadians say: Elbows up!

“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace...”

The guy is clearly deranged. Time to use the 25th Ammendment to save the country and the world from his madness.

Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial ‘outside agitator’ idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider anywhere within its bounds.

New in PN: Trump's long-awaited healthcare "plan" is a joke

"Is it great? No. Is it a plan? Not really. It is, however, in its combination of stupidity, ideological derangement, and unseriousness, a near-perfect expression of Trump and his party." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-healthcare-plan

Today Elon Musk spat on me and said "You will never be able to afford a cup of coffee, peasant." Please help me prove him wrong.

Man Trains Crows to Attack MAGA Hats

Kitten pile! 💖 #FosterKittens #cats #CatsOfMastodon

BREAKING: A new video out of Minneapolis shows the truth #ICE doesn’t want you to see… compliance does not protect you.

In this video, ICE agents pull up to a vehicle and immediately demand the driver’s ID.
The man calmly asks the most basic, #LegallyProtected question: “Why am I being pulled over?”

They never answer… because they don’t have a legal reason to stop him.

Even so, the man begins to retrieve his ID anyway.

An #agent then orders him to turn off the vehicle. The driver says, “No problem, sir, I’ll get out.”

The agent refuses, then immediately changes commands again: “I need to see your ID.”

Suddenly, an agent on the passenger side pounds on the window. Then he strikes it with a hard object, clearly threatening to break it.

At the same time, the driver-side agent again demands the ID.

This is not confusion. This is intentional command overload… a tactic used to manufacture “noncompliance” so force can be justified.

ICE’s own training materials explicitly state:

“Noncompliance or refusal to cooperate with officer commands, without fighting back, does NOT violate 18 U.S.C. § 111.”

In plain English: not immediately obeying commands is NOT a crime.

And here’s the key legal issue:

Unless agents have:
• a valid arrest warrant, or
• probable cause that a specific crime has been committed

they cannot:
• use force
• break windows
• issue violent threats
• detain or arrest someone

#ProbableCause
means specific, articulable facts that would make a reasonable officer believe a crime occurred… not vibes, not attitude, not silence, not filming, not asking questions.

Back in the video, the passenger-side agent escalates further, shouting:
“First time I ask you to roll your window down, you do it.”

The driver responds:
“Are you in danger, sir? Are you escalating this?”

The agent replies:
“I don’t know. Hands up.”

Despite the driver repeatedly attempting to comply and hand over ID, agents continue shouting conflicting commands.

At one point, the agent orders the driver to “talk to the original agent”… which is exactly what the driver was doing before the window-smashing threat.

Then the man asks, “Are you feeling unsafe or uneasy?”

The agent responds, “I don’t know, man.” while standing on the passenger side of the car, smirking.

The driver finally says what anyone would say surrounded by armed men:
“How many guns do I have around me? I need you to calm down. I’m asking him to stop banging on my car. Is that too much?”

He even offers… again… to step out of the vehicle.

This is not law enforcement. This is intimidation fishing for an excuse.

No probable cause.
No warrant.
No lawful basis for force.

And yet, the escalation came entirely from the agents.

This video proves something chilling: you can comply, stay calm, ask lawful questions… and still be threatened with violence.

So, the question isn’t “Why didn’t he just comply?”

The question is how many people have already been assaulted under this exact playbook… and how many more will be, before this stops?

#OtD 19 Jan 1970 Spanish civil war fighter and textile worker militant Libertad Rodenas died in Mexico, aged 76. She had fought in the anarchist Durruti Column during the revolution, and joined the Mujeres Libres women's group https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9092/libertad-rodenas-dies

90 people showed up in today's frigid, snowy noonday weather to protest in my South Jersey town. Nonstop cars honking their support. At least five shoppers spontaneously joined us.

This is the least we can do to show solidarity with #Minneapolis. #ICE #fuckICE #Gestapo #NewJersey

We Found More Than 40 Cases of Immigration Agents Using Banned Chokeholds and Other Moves That Can Cut Off Breathing
---

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.
