THE most important podcast you will ever hear. What you do with this information will affect human freedom — will you act (and what will you do?) or will you sit back as you & all of us lose mental liberty & the right to self determination? @NitaFarahany podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Newly released records: Renee Good was found in her vehicle with two gunshot wounds to her chest and another to her forearm. Responders found Good unresponsive inside her SUV. After they removed her from the vehicle, she was not breathing and had an irregular pulse. She also had a possible gunshot wound to the left side of her head. By the time the workers took her out of her vehicle, she had no pulse, and they performed CPR on her as she was rushed to a hospital, the report said. nytimes.com/live/2026/01/15/…

I just watched the whole 60 Minutes segment on CECOT and Trump that was killed by Bari Weiss and… wow. It was devastating for Trump and highlighted how brutally this regime has treated people. Here are some notes I took:

Fun fact: the moment an ICE agent touches your security camera, they’ve basically tripped a legal landmine. Under Jacobsen and Jones, physically interfering with someone’s property without a warrant can count as both a seizure and a trespass. Courts call this a Fourth Amendment violation. Most people call it what it actually is: unlawful meddling with someone else’s stuff. Even the Supreme Court has said officers aren’t allowed to wander past the “knock and talk” boundary or manipulate objects like they're auditioning for a burglary crew (Jardines). So when an agent tilts your camera to hide their behavior, they’re not just being shady. They’re potentially nuking their own case, violating constitutional law, and handing your lawyer a gift-wrapped civil rights claim. Cute move, legally disastrous.

WATCH: An ICE agent pushes away a home security camera as she approaches a house. This is what a police state looks like.

LA Taco asked Homeland Security if federal agents were wearing horror masks on their immigration raids. A DHS spokeswoman responded, 'Happy Halloween!' "They have fun while doing it, which is deeply disturbing. We expect some level of decorum from government officials."

If you thought Ring implementing facial recognition was bad, they've just partnered with Flock cameras. Law enforcement can now request footage from your neighbors, turning private cameras into a network of digital informants that normalizes mass surveillance in your community.

NEW: A former Palantir employee is sounding the alarm. Peter Thiel’s company rose to prominence working with military, law enforcement & ICE. They capitalize on fear and unrest to make money. Now they want you to pay them to build the “government’s central operating system.”

Not to be outdone by cosplay cop Kristi Noem, FBI Director Kash Patel apparently sees himself as the “Punisher,”a Marvel comic book antihero known for his“brutal nature and willingness to kill.” (Wiki). ⬇️
