#Australia: "On January 26, a community march in Boorloo/Perth that had been organised to mark Invasion Day was attacked by a man who threw a handmade bomb into the crowd.
The device, apparently concealed in a sock and allegedly designed to explode upon impact, was an act of terror that specifically targeted First Nations people and their allies."

Russia has yet to deny responsibility for a drone strike on a Ukrainian passenger train, killing at least five people, and prompting accusations of terrorism from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Russia’s strikes may be becoming more accurate because of Starlink satellite systems. Read more from @CBSNews

here’s an article from the African American Intellectual History Society on #RealID as a vector for racist surveillance:
❝ The Racist Origins of the Real ID Act https://www.aaihs.org/the-racist-origins-of-the-real-id-act/
remember: since slaves were not considered people, plantation owners made it a point to make privacy a luxury; not a right.
for abusers & human traffickers, privacy is only for the authority, the oligarchs, the capitalists, not the e̶n̶s̶l̶a̶v̶e̶d̶ workers.
we need to know how #RealID is used for #ICE #terrorism.

as i have said before, my expertise is “reading” the cultural production of peoples living in dictatorships or theocratic monarchic rule.
i do watch legacy tv for sports and one of the things that i noticed immediately in 2025, was how the Trump regime has NOT changed anything about #RealID. on the contrary, Noem has been pushing hard for it. and by that, i mean by cynically using a Black woman to normalize the surveillance that comes with it:

4. If you want to understand what US wanted from #Germany in 2006 when it comes to access to #fingerprintDatabases, read this #WikiLeaks cable
#EnhancedBorderSecurityPartnership won't allow #USDeptHomelandSecurity and #ICE to access just #fingerprints!
5. NOTE: #EnhancedBorderSecurityPartnership ( #EBSP) is NOT about #Terrorism,it is about "migration screening and vetting activities".
#EU is negotiating #EBSP to grant access to #PoliceDatabase to #DHS (hence to #ICE) as #ICE is out of control
“Stephen Miller🚨signaling to ICE and CBP to basically ENACT VIOLENCE ON CITIZENS FREELY.
They DO NOT have immunity.
This is both sickening, and dangerous, and EXACTLY what Miller has wanted his entire life.
This is just pure filthy evil. This is not how the US functions.”

An ICE agent attempted to abduct a 37-year old woman by pulling her out of her SUV, but she drove AWAY from the agents in terror while an ICE agent pulls a gun and shoots her dead in the head at close range. The SUV crashes into parked cars without a driver. This all happens in broad daylight with onlookers crying WTF?
This happens as Donald Trump sends 2,000 DHS troops to arrest 150 people in a single day in what ICE called the "largest immigration operation ever", with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accompanying ICE officers during an arrest and telling a handcuffed man, “You will be held accountable for your crimes.”
Governor Tim Walz said that the ICE officers were not cooperating with local authorities and were simply a “show for the cameras.”
Brazen murder and terror against "those others" as a "show for the cameras". Let that sink in.

What we witnessed was not journalism but the choreography of propaganda.
CBS, in particular, offered thirty uninterrupted minutes of state-sanctioned fantasy,
anchored by a fawning interview with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth,
a man implicated in the killing of more than one hundred people at sea without evidence, accountability, or due process.
Rather than interrogating power, the networks shifted seamlessly into spectacle.
At no point did either network raise the most basic questions of legality, sovereignty, or international law.
Instead, both CBS and NBC trafficked in images of people dancing in the streets, staging public jubilation around what was, in fact,
a spectacularized violation of both international and domestic law.
Repressive imperial power has become visceral and ocular.
It now works through the eye as much as through the gun.
⚠️ State terrorism is no longer merely enforced by violence,
-- it is normalized and taught, rendered legitimate through a form of #pedagogical #terrorism produced and circulated by nearly the entire corporate media apparatus.
⭐️What is taking shape is a new apparatus of colonial terror,
where power, social media, and everyday life collapse into a single machinery of consent,
🔥training the public to see violence as spectacle and domination as normal.
There was no mention that the attack and abduction were #condemned by the presidents of Mexico and Brazil, by international legal scholars, and by a widening circle of global leaders alarmed by the precedent being set.
There was no scrutiny of the #fabricated #claims that Venezuela was plotting an invasion of the United States or serving as the epicenter of drug trafficking,
assertions long discredited but endlessly recycled to justify imperial violence.
Nor, crucially, was there any acknowledgment of Trump’s staggering #hypocrisy:
while declaring a war on drugs in the name of national security, he #pardoned one of the most notorious narcotics traffickers ever prosecuted in the United States, #Juan #Orlando #Hernández, described by prosecutors as a central figure in an eighteen-year operation that flooded the U.S. with more than 400 tons of cocaine
