January 7, 2026 - ICE just murdered a legal observer in Minneapolis, during a protest at an immigration raid, while she was trying to leave, as ordered. [link]
Note: the victim of the murder was, as far as reporting and witness accounts have communicated, not acting in the capacity of a trained legal observer. she was observing ICE activity legally as a US citizen and community member. i don’t say this to be pedantic but to clarify that the term “legal observer” has a specific meaning and getting the facts of the situation wrong through internet telephone is a risk we should all try to mitigate.
I know this year has been tough on a lot of us if not all of us. There may have been many things that were beyond our control or power. Or how we might not have been able to do all the things we would have liked to. But with the end of 2025 coming to a close.
Here is hoping that 2026 is kinder and gentler on us! May this new year be brighter and more hopeful!
You made it to the end of the year!!! 🥳 Congratulations on making it through all the challenges and doing your best. I hope there were some good memories this year, and may the final stretch be filled with peace and joy. 🙏
This image isn’t just a news item; it’s part of our daily reality in Gaza. While thousands of trucks loaded with tents, blankets, food, and medicine are held outside the Strip, preventing their entry to the people of Gaza, we here are facing a humanitarian catastrophe that worsens every day. We suffer all the time and everyone ignores what we are going through.
