The US is not in a good way right now and it’s very hard to imagine any kind of return to the conditions of a year ago. Trump is fucking wildin out, and the people are responding in a way we haven’t seen since the George Floyd Rebellion of 2020. The internationalism you mentioned is in large part, I’m proud to say, a result of being the leading organizing force in most of these protests. The outage and unrest are only accelerating and a communist vanguard party is well positioned to push that movement far beyond where it’s been so far.

I posted a lot last year about efforts for the Party to connect with the 50501/NoKings protest. Those were able to mobilize enormous numbers of people, but only in the form of very neat and gentle weekend marches. Now, that relationship has grown much stronger - one of 50501’s national leaders was on a recent People’s Forum webinar in response to the attack on Venezuela and she spoke firmly about the interconnectedness of national and international struggle. They are now committed to a joint day of action with the Party on January 20th. This is a mass school and work walkout - a significant escalation from getting together on a Saturday afternoon and a key stepping stone to the long term goal of a general strike. To get to the big GS, we need the masses to develop to resilience and dedication through practice.

A lot of that practice is already playing out in the sharp rise of protest frequency the last two weeks. People are ready to show up not just once every month or two but once or twice a week. And they are receiving the Party’s political and organizational leadership because of the skill and dedication of our cadre.

This wicked system will not last.

Sheinbaum and Trump just talked and

U.S. allows Mexico to provide oil to Cuba despite Trump’s vow to cut off supply

Thank god, hopefully Cuba can weather through this

The sensitive personal information of ~4,500 ICE employees has allegedly been leaked by a DHS whistleblower according to The Daily Beast. Oops.

Actual site with the list appears to be getting DDOS’d right now.

Trump curses and flips the middle finger to an employee who allegedly called him a ‘pedophile protector’ during a factory visit. The republican visited Ford facilities this Tuesday (13), in Detroit, USA. His government has been facing criticism for the way it is handling the case of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

Palantir is working on a tool for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) that populates a map with potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, and provides a “confidence score” on the person’s current address.

MoA on the latest failed color coup attempt that targeted Iran:

Today pro-government marches are held in all major cities of Iran. They are much bigger than anything the opposition could ever assemble. The Iranian system has again demonstrated that it is astonishingly stable. Not one official has changed side.

The total blocking of Internet traffic and international phone communication in Iran was the decisive step taken to end the riots.

Without Internet access the CIA/Mossad agents directing the rioters were unable to command and control their on-the-ground forces. The lack of ‘horror’ propaganda videos from Iran, submitted via the Internet and used by the media to rake up support for western intervention, is also important. Color-revolutions à la CIA require these tools.

Trump, who had threatened to bomb Iran in support of the rioters, will have to pull back. The U.S. military says that it is not ready (archived) for the revenge Iran would unleash on it.

Situation in MN is a powder keg where ICE is shoving more and more powder in and everyone is sitting around with lit matches. I’m genuinely surprised it hasn’t blown yet. Check the state subreddit if you want they are one of the better sources for this. r/Minnesota

ICE and other Border Control departments such as BORTAC, are now openly doing warrantless raids in minority neighborhoods and going to retail businesses such as target and Walmart to kidnap people. School is out in areas where ICE is active as a response to them busting into schools, walkouts in solidarity in other parts of the state.

They are also kidnapping kids and parents with young children on the street. One of the videos posted is of ICE grabbing a 17 year old target employee and beating him and dumping him at a Walmart.

The state has taken a hands off approach to the situation and seems to be content to sit by and observe, including simply observing protests, ICE seems to be the ones crushing protests. The only response from the state seems to be the AG filing a lawsuit (lol), this is not lost on the average person, they are noticing the inaction.

Bovino ( the guy in charge of these ICE raids) is just openly strutting about completely unafraid to show his face everywhere he goes. And why not? The administration has shown they will back ICE no matter what, and Dems have shown themselves to be toothless. Him doing this is also a message to the rank and file brownshirts that they have nothing to fear.

The average person I see at these protests is fucking pissed. We have random vote blue no matter who types giving interviews where they are openly talking about needing guns to square off with ICE, and former “apolitical” cop bootlicker types are saying they would support someone taking an ICE squad out.

ICE is so outnumbered in some of these cases that they might just get stampeded by an angry mob. One of the videos I’ve seen , if ICE hadn’t retreated when they did they would have faced mob justice. I don’t see any situation where something doesn’t give in the next day or two, max by the weekend.

Let’s manifest some “total destruction of the US empire” kinda news this week folks

The Status Coup video from their live recording post-shooting tonight went private. Possibly because they were showing papers taken from an ICE vehicle with agents’ names, phone numbers, e-mails, and operating instructions. I was actually in the middle of transcribing the info when the video just disappeared.

Here’s what I got, up to the start of page 4 (I tried, but spoilers aren’t working with code/pre-formatted text in them). (EDIT: Completed as best I could from archives linked in replies.)

**Baymont**

[According to audio:]

"This is a hotel booking sheet.  The officer whose car we raided was John
Steimle.  This is hotel in Wisconsin that they're loading ICE agents up into
before they send them into Minneapolis.  It's got his name, the hotel, the
address, room number.  They Baymont by Wyndham Baldwin.  Baymont is supporting
ICE agents.  This is all taken out of an ICE officer's vehicle that got left
behind and got raided."

Protesters in Minneapolis found a hotel ICE is staying at, a few hundred people are in the courtyard up to the doors, and the cops are inside getting squared up and ready to bust heads. They have these big-ass clubs. The protest would fizzle out, but no, the local police department seems like they want to get in on the action while ICE is nowhere to be seen
