“Almost every country in the region has experienced some form of US intervention, overt or covert, in the past decades.”

The Department of Homeland Security
has been quietly demanding
tech companies turn over user information about critics of the Trump administration,
according to reports.
In several cases over recent months,
Homeland Security has relied on the use of administrative subpoenas
to seek identifiable information about individuals who run anonymous Instagram accounts,
which share posts about ICE immigration raids in their local neighborhoods.

The use of administrative subpoenas, which are not subject to judicial oversight, are used to demand a wealth of information from tech companies, including the owners of anonymous online accounts documenting ICE operations.

A Minneapolis story:
Today, I took my kid to the neighborhood park to go ice skating. A beautiful thing about this city is that •everyone• has a neighborhood park: early in the city’s history, planners made it a goal to have a park within walking distance of every single residence. They didn’t have to shoehorn this goal in; they built up the city around it. There are little parks all over the city, many just a couple of blocks in size.
And in the winter, they flood the athletic fields: ice rinks!

There's a Mail piece with a headline that seems like people are angry at the development work on Jony Ive's home, as though he's about to drop a giant translucent Bondi Blue structure in the neighbourhood.
But the quotes are like:
> 'Initially people were worried because it is a big project and they thought it was bound to disrupt the community but they have been perfect.'

The house iPhone built: Apple icon Sir Jony Ive under fire for turning his £17million listed Cotswolds mansion into a 'James Bond lair'
When it comes to Grand Designs, Sir Jony Ive's transformation of his Cotswolds mansion is possibly the grandest of them all with work due to take three years.

... That would make working remotely pretty easy. With my house at the back of the lot and the neighbor's house at the front of the lot, I have started thinking about the idea of building a new house in the front yard and then having the current house declared an ADU by the city. I could build the house of my dreams in a neighbourhood that I like, rent the old house out to offset the cost, and hopefully come out the other end without too much pain. ...

"If it was anybody else, we'd arrest him tomorrow" basically summarizes the state of this country over my entire adult life. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ny5w2k6brb2kdubxnevke6li/post/3m4rgw6c3x22n

Wow. “If it was anybody else, we’d arrest him tomorrow,”Justice Department aide said of Trump. “A handful of documents found by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago were so sensitive that even a senior Justice Dept official didn’t have authorization to see them.” No rule of law without equality under the law. https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/trump-arrest-classified-documents-probe-maralago-rcna241155

I'm the president of Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation,
and my city is under occupation by the federal government.
Our community has pulled together, doing everything we can to protect our neighbors from being kidnapped and detained by ICE and border patrol.
One of our members was detained by ICE in the parking lot of their workplace and taken to a facility in Texas.
After two weeks in detention under astonishing conditions,
being pressured to sign &quo…

You know and I know and you know that I know, but still, on the record:
Somali immigrants are my neighbors, my friends. I’m so glad my city is where so many have chosen to come live. They make Minneapolis better. Their presence is a blessing.
Somali neighbors: thank you for being here.
Trump administration: you can go directly to hell.

“Love thy neighbor*”
– USian Christians
* Unless they have natural resources. In which case, bomb the shit out of them, invade them, kidnap their presidents… anything, really, until we can steal what they have. After all, we built our whole damn country on stealing from and enslaving others (amen, etc.)

My neighbors definitely do not think this is more of the same. You don’t have to take my word for it. Look at how many Somali and Latin-American restaurants were thriving in November and now are closed, or getting almost no business if they are taking the risk of staying open. Look at how many kids are staying home from school — regardless of legal status, just because of the color of their family’s skin. Look at how many families are living in houses filled with dirty laundry because they won’t even take the risk of leaving the house to go to the laundromat.
My neighbors are living in •terror•.
If it’s more of the same, why did all of this suddenly change in the last two months?
