Links - 25th January 2026 (2 - Migrants: US)

Stephen L. Miller on X - "So to catch you up on events:
- Protest group chased two innocent dudes out of a diner.
- Attacked an innocent guy on the street who was actually with them.
- Harassed an innocent guy with an SUV and demanded to see his ID.
- Blocked an innocent guy because of his rental car plates
- Have now stormed into church services.
And I haven't seen a single Minneapolis police officer in any of the previous week's video footage."
If you're against left wing mobs harassing and attacking people in the streets, that is literally fascism

Right Angle News Network on X - "BREAKING - Minneapolis police have completely turned over the city to leftists, as they are now forming groups to hunt down anyone who appears to support ICE, with this man being saved by the feds just moments before being beaten for simply wearing camo."
Patrick Casey on X - "ICE officers: arresting illegal immigrants, including many depraved criminals
Anti-ICE agitators: beating up random people walking down the street
Consider how much left-wing propaganda is necessary to convince people to side with the latter"

Alpha News on X - "EXCLUSIVE: Tech workers say they were mistaken for ICE agents, accosted by anti-ICE mob
What began as a casual lunch between five Twin Cities software engineers quickly escalated into a frightening encounter after the men were misidentified as undercover federal agents and protesters were alerted to the Minneapolis restaurant where they were dining. Alpha News obtained video and spoke with one of the men, Lee, a software engineer from Plymouth, who described how the situation unfolded. Lee said the group was eating lunch at Clancy’s Deli, near 38th Street and Grand Avenue South, when one of the men — who belongs to an anti-ICE Signal chat — received a message from a group labeled “SW Minneapolis Rapid Response” claiming that plainclothes ICE agents were dining at the restaurant. “My friend was shocked,” Lee said. “He’s on the [anti-ICE] side politically. He lives nearby. He’s eaten there before. And suddenly he’s seeing messages saying we’re ICE.” The software engineers — all white males dressed casually in sweatshirts and jackets — were soon confronted by protesters who surrounded the restaurant, shouting insults and blowing whistles in their ears as they attempted to leave, according to Lee. Lee emphasized to Alpha News that the group’s political views were mixed, but said the encounter left some of them reconsidering their positions. “One of us is pro-ICE, one anti-ICE, others on the fence,” he said. “After this, I think some of them are rethinking everything.”"
Eve Keneinan 𝛗☦️ن on X - "Did you hear the part when, told they were mistaken about these men being ICE agents, the mob simply pivoted to "If you aren't with us, you're against us!" That's the signal that these people do not accept "innocent bystanders" as a category.
Mob: "How dare you work for ICE!?"
Techbros: "We're not ICE agenst. We're just software programmers having lunch and minding our own business."
Mob: "How dare mind your own business when ICE is in town!?""
Clearly, this is ICE's fault, and all decent and good people hate ICE. If you're not with them, you're against them

Hunter Ash on X - "“We will prosecute ICE if you ever lose power, and any random white men are presumptively ICE” They’re making things usefully clear."

Anti-ICE agitators storm St. Paul church during Sunday worship service - "A mob of anti-ICE agitators stormed a church Sunday in St. Paul, Minnesota, interrupting a worship service after protesters claimed a pastor inside was affiliated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Video shows agitators chanting "Justice for Renee Good" inside the sanctuary at Cities Church as the service began, raising concerns among law enforcement and religious leaders about protesters targeting houses of worship amid escalating anti-ICE demonstrations across the Twin Cities. In one video circulating online, agitators can be heard chanting, "Justice for Renee Good," and "Who needs justice, we need justice," as they stood inside the church during the service... "Agitators aren’t just targeting our officers. Now they’re targeting churches, too," DHS said in the post. "They're going from hotel to hotel, church to church, hunting for federal law enforcement who are risking their lives to protect Americans.""
So this means storming a mosque looking for terrorists is good, right?

End Wokeness on X - "Don Lemon sees kids fleeing church: "It is traumatic for the people, and that's what protesting is about""
wanye on X - "This is a fairly straightforward description of leftist politics, the point of which is to be as annoying and disruptive and repulsive as possible, so that normal people who are just trying to get to work and church and school give in to your demands. They’ve encoded this inverted morality at the core of their political project and so they no longer respond to ordinary critiques about the legitimacy of their behavior. If being disruptive and destructive (maybe even violent) is the point, then it’s good when people call you disruptive and annoying."
"Direct action" is how left wingers ram the left wing agenda through when they lose at the ballot box. Commies hate democracy

Western Lensman on X - "Tim Walz was morally outraged over the holidays, warning that ICE would target church services. “Because that’s who they are." Surely Tim will be equally outraged by his far-left radicals storming a church service."

“We’re the Good Guys” and Other Dangerous Lies - "No doubt that one of the most astonishing events of the past few days was the Don Lemon–led invasion of a church in St. Paul by anti-ICE protesters, especially since this invasion took place just short of five months since a transgender shooter murdered kids sitting inside Church of the Annunciation in the Windom neighborhood of Minneapolis. In many ways, this event neatly captures a defining feature of what is happening in Minnesota right now: a complete inversion of reality. A group of self-described “activists” and “protesters” stormed a peaceful church service because they believed one of the pastors was cooperating with ICE—apparently on the basis that he has a military background. Instead of condemning the intrusion, Minnesota’s elected leadership excused it. In the words of Attorney General Keith Ellison, “Nobody can escape the public’s voice.” According to Don Lemon—the gay black man CNN insisted it could never fire until it did—the congregants were all white supremacists anyway, which means the ANTIFA-adjacent ICE-hunting mob is, of course, the morally superior party. They are not lawbreakers; they are heroes. They are simply fighting laws they don’t like and would prefer to ignore. “How dare you question our motives,” the Lemonite invaders say. “We’re the good guys.” That assumption is increasingly common. A wave of moral inversion has washed over roughly half the country, driven not by logic or reason but by pure emotion. If someone dislikes a law—no matter how it was passed or why—it becomes morally optional. Emotional “reasoning” is deployed to justify whatever action feels right in the moment. The operative principle is no longer whether a law is rational or just, but whether I personally dislike it. And once I decide something is bad, I no longer have to follow it... these protests are not aimed at changing immigration law. They are about ignoring it—specifically objecting to enforcement. That is why state and local officials withdrew cooperation with federal authorities rather than pursuing legislative reform. And this is where the claim to justice collapses: selective application of law. Their actions are not punished; yours are. The church invasion was plainly illegal. Yet unless the DOJ intervenes, Minnesota’s Attorney General will not defend the rights of the people gathered in that sanctuary. An ethos has been constructed within these “opposition” movements—one openly supported by state and local governments in places like Minnesota—that can be summarized as follows: I am good, you are bad, and that means I am permitted to do anything I want to you without consequence. It does not matter whether you are actually bad. This is not about reality; it is about feelings. How bad I believe you are defines the limits of how I am allowed to treat you—and you are simply expected to endure it. A curious byproduct of this worldview is the built-in escape hatch. Its adherents see themselves as brave warriors, courageously risking their bodies for a righteous cause. But the moment they are caught breaking the law, they instantly transform into “just a suburban mom with kids at home.” Consequences suddenly become unthinkable. “You can’t punish me,” they protest. “I have dinner to make.” The unspoken creed is simple: My cause is just; therefore, I am just; therefore, anything I do in the name of justice is permitted. But what if the cause is not just? Over the past half century, I have spent a fair amount of time studying the “revolutions” carried out by the Bolsheviks in Russia, the Maoists in China, and even the Jew-hunting Nazis in WWII era Germany, the more I reflect on what I learned, the more these insurrection-styled hunting parties roaming Minnesota begin to resemble them."

redpillbot on X - "Chris Hansen, host of 'To Catch a Predator', says every single time he sets up a sting to catch pedophiles, it’s an illegal. “It seems today that we can't do a sting, whether we're in the south or the Midwest or west coast or east coast, without catching somebody who's in this country illegally.”"
Weird. Left wingers tell us there're no illegal immigrants in the Epstein files, which proves that they're not preying on children

Dr. Naomi Wolf. 8 NYT Bestsellers. DPhil, Poetry. on X - "Okay, I’ll just say it. I’ve seen enough videos of the faces of liberal white women in conflict with @ICE, to know what is up. Liberal men at this point (sorry) are disproportionately estrogenized, physically passive, submissive due to woke gender hectoring, or porn-addicted. White liberal women are disproportionately sexually frustrated. Policing others as in the pandemic was an outlet for them, but it was not nearly enough. The smiles you see on their faces now say it all: white women long for all out combat with ICE - who tend to be strong, physically confident, masculine men - because the conflict is a form of physical release for them. They long for actual kinetic battle and it will get even uglier."

Bill Melugin on X - "NEW: I’m told multiple ICE agents with rooms booked at the St. Paul Downtown Doubletree by Hilton received this notice today that their rooms are being cancelled & the hotel will temporarily close “due to heightened public safety concerns in St. Paul.” I called the hotel & checked online & they are indeed not taking any bookings right now. They referred me to other hotels. I'm told this also happened today at the Intercontinental St. Paul, with ICE agents with bookings there notified the hotel will be temporarily closing today due to the ongoing unrest in Minnesota. An agent who talked to the front desk manager there says he was told it was done to protect staff because they have been getting threats from unknown individuals for lodging DHS agents."
More 'peaceful protests'

Minnesota National Guard on X - "Members of the Minnesota National Guard are on standby, ready to assist local law enforcement and public safety agencies. If our members are activated, they will be wearing reflective vests, as pictured here, to help distinguish them from other agencies in similar uniforms."
Tony Kinnett on X - ""We're putting OUR troops in neon vests so you only attack federal law enforcement" is an insane thing to tweet."

Meme - "Here is the difference between Minneapolis Mayor Frey and Memphis Mayor Young, a Democrat too. Young invited Trump and Federal agents to Memphis. 4000 arrests which included 15 murderers. 629 illegal firearms confiscated, 1,800 arrest warrants cleared, 123 missing minors rescued! Murder down 39.47%. Sexual assault down 43.13% robbery down 59.58, vehicle theft down 69.63%! Mayor Young is for making Memphis safe; Walz and Frey are for fighting Trump using citizens as pawns & creating riots for political theatre!"

Willis Eschenbach on X - "Two cities, same federal agency, totally different levels of sanity. In Memphis, the mayor looked at the political circus, looked at the crime stats, and basically said, “If ICE is coming anyway, I want them chasing killers and gangbangers, not doing drive‑by paperwork checks.” The idea is straightforward, grown‑up thinking: plug ICE into multi‑agency task forces, point them at the worst violent offenders, and when someone dangerous is already sitting in jail, hand them over there—disarmed, controlled, surrounded by bars and cameras. Quiet custody transfers, maximum bad guys removed, minimum drama. Now spin the globe to Minneapolis, where the official line is closer to “Get the f— out.” The city has wrapped itself in “separation” rules—no participation in immigration enforcement, no using city lots and ramps, no staging on municipal property. This forced the feds to respond by sending in a small army of agents, and suddenly, ICE isn’t arresting child rapists in jails—they’re knocking on doors, getting blocked in by cars, and grabbing targets in parking lots and neighborhoods. That’s the key difference: you either let ICE arrest predators inside secure facilities, or you force them into the streets. And remember who many of these targets are. In the Houston area, in just six months, ICE picked up more than two hundred illegal aliens who had sexually abused children. Not theory, not slogans—actual child rapists in handcuffs. To get numbers like that, you need coordination: jail notifications, controlled pickups, federal–local task forces all rowing in roughly the same direction. Minneapolis has chosen the opposite. By walling off cooperation and banning ICE from city property, they haven’t abolished enforcement, they’ve just exported it into neighborhoods. That means every operation is more volatile, every arrest is closer to your kids, your grocery store, your bus stop. It also means that when jails don’t smoothly transfer custody, those same predators have more chances to walk free before ICE catches up—or doesn’t. So the question practically asks itself: if ICE is in town to put handcuffs on child rapists, what do you actually accomplish by tripping them, blinding them, and shoving them out into the street? WAKE UP, FOLKS! You don’t protect immigrants that way. YOU PROTECT PREDATORS. And you guarantee that the cost of your “sanctuary” will be paid, sooner or later, by somebody’s child getting raped. Sadly, w."

James Lindsay, anti-Communist on X - "Why so much propaganda and lying over there in Democrat Wokeland? Especially with some of the absolutely incredible things we're seeing in Minnesota, where people seem very detached from reality? A key part of the answer is George Soros's concept of "reflexivity." You'll want to understand this. Reflexivity is a property of social circumstances, Soros tells us in his 1992 book The Alchemy of Finance, where he develops the concept. It's what sets the social sciences apart from the physical sciences and is based on the fact that in social situations, the objects (people) affected by circumstances are also subjects and participants in creating circumstances. Soros explains that this means that "social sciences" are a misnomer, in fact. He suggests instead that they should be recognized as "social alchemy." He goes on to explain the relevance of this difference: "Scientific method seeks to understand things as they are, while alchemy seeks to bring about a desired state of affairs. To put it another way, the primary objective of science is truth, -- that of alchemy, operational success." Soros explains that reflexivity is a dialectic, like the dialectic of Hegel but less abstruse and like the dialectic of Marx but more open-ended. What that means is that it is "transformative" in its operation and goals. That is, it is designed to create specific, guided change, i.e., "operational success." Soros explains that reflexivity operates in a peculiar and specific space: in the gap between what people believe is true and what is actually true. That is, the reflexive dialectic refers to inducing and utilizing actionable beliefs that are wrong. Thus, all the propaganda. For his method to work, there must be a gap between what is actually true and what many, many people believe is true. For it to work, lots of people have to be dangerously wrong. He goes on to explain that reflexive campaigns propagate through something he calls "fertile fallacies," which are errors (or lies) that lead people to act upon them, including sharing and spreading their falsehoods with others (going viral). Thus, again, all the propaganda. Over time, people have to be primed to be this wrong, actionably. The way you get them there is by systematically misleading them about reality. Soros also explains that during normal situations, which he says are "near equilibrium" (or stable), significant or "historic" change is not possible. Big changes that fundamentally reorient the way a system works only occur in situations that are "far from equilibrium" (chaotic). During such times, people are desperate to regain stability and equilibrium, so, Soros says, they'll latch on to any "guideposts" that can lead them through the chaos. Thus, yet again, all the propaganda. The potential for chaos has to be arranged while getting a lot of people to believe something highly actionable that is mostly untrue, and then it has to be sparked, and then it has to be guided. That's how the "Soros Model" (reflexivity) works. In Minnesota right now, a huge reflexive campaign (direct action) has been launched, but it has also been building at least for many months (actually years, over a decade). The gap between what people believe and reality (or, the pertinent one among many) is that Trump is an illegitimate dictator (TDS) and his agencies, like ICE, are effectively a fascist Gestapo bringing something like Nazism to the United States, with lower officials either complicit or incapable of stopping it. That has been the tone and tenor of a lot of the propaganda for at least a decade, and certainly very specifically since Trump took office. (Trump's admin's comms team isn't helping itself here with a lot of its unnecessarily provocative shitpoasting from official accounts, btw.) Your average Leftist in Minnesota, agitators, organizers, provocateurs, etc., aside (with all of them playing their obvious roles) fully believes wildly untrue things about Trump, ICE, the law, what ICE is doing, why ICE is doing it, who ICE is removing from their communities, on what authority, and why, and more. They are extremely deranged and functionally psychotic. They're in a state that is far from equilibrium and loaded up with fertile fallacies, a state I refer to on the community-level as having high reflexive potential. Just a little propaganda of very specific types will set them off into mass (psychotic) direct action, as we see. Thus, so much of the propaganda, both chronically over the last year(s) and acutely, since ICE Floyd. What Democratic politicians and media apparatchiks are doing now in Minnesota, to say nothing of the agitators, provocateurs, organizers, etc., and their social media appendages, is putting down "guideposts" about how to deal with this far from equilibrium situation, pushing wildly deluded people into psychopathic action. THIS, guys, is the "Soros Model" in action (which has been widely adopted by institutional manipulators since the late 1980s when he taught it first to the CCP and then more widely). Fwiw, in The Alchemy of Finance, Soros explains that he likes to use this method because he "takes a certain malicious pleasure in shorting an institutional favorite." The United States and the American Experiment are the best bet in the world, though, a big, big, big "institutional favorite" I'm sure Soros and his acolytes would maliciously enjoy shorting this way. This is why so many Democratic politicians like Tim Walz and Jacob Frey and Ilhan Omar, and beyond Minnesota too, and their media and social media appendages all started screaming "ICE OUT" immediately after the triggering incident we can call ICE Floyd. They're shifting gears from building reflexive potential to releasing and guiding it. It's also why they put so much time and effort into steadily building the reflexive potential of raging TDS. You can see how immediately actionable it is (guided by opportunistic and evil politicians, media entities, and a highly coordinated network of professional organizers and social media personalities, many completely anonymous). They needed lots of people to have a wide gap between what they believe and what's true (reflexive gap) that they could take advantage of to suddenly create "historic change" under their guidance at the right moment. We need to understand that this is how Leftists work. All of this can be defused by targeting the building reflexive potential before the moment of explosion arrives, while they're building it. It can be dampened by increasing the number of people and voices who are savvy to the manipulations and lies and who are making the truth more visible to people who mostly haven't been paying attention until it has high immediacy. Reflexive campaigns can be dampened, fizzled, and stopped."

Is the phrase "One of ours, all of yours" an old Nazi slogan advocating for collective punishment? : r/AskHistorians - "This article says: "[Tom Morello] shared an Instagram post on Jan. 12 criticizing what he described as a “verbatim Nazi mass murder slogan” displayed on a podium behind DHS Secretary Kristi Noem during a recent news conference. The phrase, “One of ours, all of yours,” was visible as Noem addressed reporters." Furthermore, it notes that, "Historians have not publicly confirmed the exact origins of the slogan." So, y'all have a chance to be the first to make public comment. Where's that slogan from?"
"Several variants of this post are going around online, and the majority of them seem to attribute this supposed Nazi quotation to the Lidice massacre of 1942, which was committed by the German occupation authorities in the 'Reich Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia' in response to the assassination of the deputy governor of the province, Reinhard Heydrich, by British-backed Czech commandos in Prague ("Operation Anthropoid") on 27 May 1942. Heydrich survived the initial attack, but later succumbed to his wounds on 4 June. The (unfounded) suspicion that Heydrich's assassins had been given shelter by the villagers of Lidice led to that village's siege and subsequent sack and destruction on 9 June 1942. All male villagers aged 15 and up were executed by German forces, whereas female villagers and underage boys were fed into the concentration camps, mainly the women's concentration camp at Ravensbrück. So this is where the "One of ours, all of yours" supposedly comes from: "[You kill] one of ours, [we kill (or capture)] all of yours". And that's where the history ends — because that phrase was never used by the German government... Additionally, while the English-language phrase "One of ours, all of yours" sounds coherent and linguistically sound with a fine internal melody due to the structure of its syllables, the German and Czech language equivalents "Einer von unseren, alle von euren" or "Jeden z nasich, cely tvuj" "Jeden z našich, všichni vaši" both make rather unmelodic phrases, so it is highly unlikely that this would have been the phrasing chosen even if the Nazis had decided to publicly justify their actions in Lidice. The Nazis certainly did use threats of reprisal violence in their propaganda, but they usually took the form of rather boring bilingual announcements (here: German–Polish), usually with legalistically explicit references to the death penalty, rather than catchy phrase work. In areas where "execution quotas" where in place, they would also list the names of executed civilians, such as in a Polish-language announcement for Radom 1944 on occasions that such reprisal mass executions took place. Such reprisal actions were also official policy in occupied Yugoslavia and advertised as such in another bilingual (this time German–Serbian) pamphlet. So no, the Germans did not advertise Lidice 1942 with the phrase "one of ours, all of yours"."
Is the phrase "One of ours, all of yours" an old Nazi slogan advocating for collective punishment? : r/AskHistorians - "the burden of proof would be on the accuser to show that the phrase "one of ours, all of yours" was already known (at least in English) as a fascist/Nazi phrase to the accused, and that the accused used that knowledge to make a wink-at-the-camera style dogwhistle. My digital library of 5,000+ books (most related to 20th century history) yields zero results for the phrase "one of ours, all of yours" in the three languages of interest, including English (though I'll admit my Czech-language literature is non-existent). Academic aggregators like Google Scholar and JSTOR similarly show no hits of interest. All my (admittedly superficial) web searches for that specific phrase have yielded results that are from the last few days (annoyingly, even specifying "before:2026" will yield 2026-related hits due to news sites' tickers on their old articles). I realize this is all anecdotal evidence, but it's hard for me to prove the negative, as well as it being improper. It is really on the accusers to prove the positive, i.e. that the phrase was in fact in use during the Nazi time, for which I have so far seen not a single piece of even somewhat convincing historical evidence. The only thing of interest was a Facebook page attributing the phrase to 1930s Spain rather than 1942 Lidice – though that too would be something that would need to be proven. 2026 is when the phrase became relevant because of its use by the people accused by their opponents of dogwhistling. Currently, it seems to be a case of the accusers attempting to imbue the phrase with a meaning that it did/does not have with the specific intention to associate the accused with the Nazis. I am perfectly willing to change my mind when presented with the respective historical evidence, but this phrase seems to be one of the first online myths/hoaxes/urban legends of 2026."

Is the phrase "One of ours, all of yours" an old Nazi slogan advocating for collective punishment? : r/AskHistorians - "Having done some more research on the fascist Spain lead, there are some assertions that the original Spanish phrase was "Uno de los nuestros vale por todos los vuestros" [="one of ours is worth [the same as] all of yours [combined]"], attributed to the Spanish falangist movement of the 1930s. It certainly feels like it could be authentic and seems to fit the political climate of 1930s Spain, though here too I have yet failed to actually find a good reference beyond an Instagram post."

Meme - "So if ICE are Nazis, that means that the Jews are breaking INTO the concentration camp this time?"

Meme - Obama: "Illegals should be deported, immigrants should assimilate" *happy Democrat Soyjak*
Trump: "Illegals should be deported, immigrants should assimilate" *raging Democrat Soyjak*

Meme - "If you're mad at ICE... Be mad at these two morons for letting 20 million unvetted illegals into the country! *Biden and Harris*"

Jan. 6 provocateur says he was stabbed at pro-ICE Minneapolis rally - "A right-wing provocateur who was pardoned for charges tied to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol said he was stabbed during a pro-ICE rally outside Minneapolis City Hall... “I just got stabbed...today in Minnesota,” Jake Lang said in a post on X, alleging he was attacked by a counterprotester... Lang, a 30-year-old conservative influencer who served four years in jail for alleged crimes in connection with the Jan. 6 attack, was hosting an anti-immigration demonstration with a small group of ICE supporters when hundreds of counterprotesters converged on the scene. The anti-ICE demonstrators and a group of reporters surrounded Lang and his associates, backing them in a recessed window along the City Hall building. Counterprotesters could also be seen hurling water balloons at Lang, leaving him soaked in water in the freezing cold. They also threw snowballs at other pro-ICE protesters, soaking them as temperatures dropped toward zero degrees Fahrenheit."
Left wingers were cheering this, of course (among other things, boasting that it wasn't water in the balloons). Naturally, if someone does this to anti-ICE protesters it will be fascism and proof Trump is trying to provoke a civil war

Cathy Young 🇺🇸🇺🇦 on X - "The utter depravity of MAGA pundits (not only Benny but @MrAndyNgo) passing off a pretty literal Nazi as a "conservative activist.""
Sunny on X - "You don’t get to do mob violence against Nazis either. You don’t get to waive “rule of law” around to support prosecuting people you don’t like, then shrug off mob violence because you can’t find a way to prosecute other people you don’t like."

Medi-Cal-Immigrant-Eligibility-FAQs - "Adults (19 and older) are currently eligible for full Medi-Cal coverage, regardless of immigration status."
This doesn't stop left wingers from continuing to lie that illegal immigrants don't get government healthcare coverage
