This is Nathan Cavanaugh, another DOGE staffer explaining how he flagged grants at NEH for "DEI" which would be reviewed for termination. 404 Media has reviewed hours of this footage and we'll have more soon.

Nick Fuentes is an outspoken white nationalist who has railed about "organized Jewry," denied the Holocaust, praised Hitler, and promoted the racist "great replacement theory" that inspired several mass shootings, but to this College Republican, he's just a funny and thoughtful role model.

10 hour study with me at Columbia showing lunch
Her in the library
DHS illegally arrested me please help Text against image of her knees
Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"
The @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social is 100% correct here. These AI images are damaging history and they are a very real threat to the history of the #Holocaust.
The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.
ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."
Right on cue, here are the push alerts from the 3 major newspapers lmao
There no principles in Trump's attack on higher ed other than his desire to get "eye popping" settlements and to weaken institutions that he sees as the enemy. I hope that academic leaders will take note of the costs of capitulation as a new round of attacks begins. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/u...
So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this.
We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...
hard to believe that the Charlie Kirk firings / pearl clutchings happened mere months ago but here we are
“It seems to me that we now have the ideological arm of the Trump admin giving out money to support the production of knowledge in ways that they approve of. In a way, the NEH has become a parallel institution to the Koch Foundation.”
— Joan Scott, AAUP Committee on Academic Freedom & Tenure
Cops at her front door, holding a phone to her face, asking if that's her Facebook account.
What the fuck are we doing here?
I’m the one in the brown hat.
What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs.
Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car.

What if Salo was Louis XIV themed
Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

Credible reports given multiple videos that ICE (or CBP?) in Minneapolis is going door to door, breaching doors when residents will not open, and searching homes with no warrant or even statement of a particularized suspicion, and trying to prevent residents from recording. Flagrantly illegal

Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

I wonder if anyone will revisit their charitable interpretations of Elon’s definitely-not-a-Nazi-salute
“God damn them all.”
Excellent, damning analysis of the video of the killing of Ms Good, from the NYT, including a quick debunking of the “evidence” the President showed other Times reporters last night.

I’m reminded of the Nazi concept of “lives not worth living.”

Seems important:
immediately after woman shot in Minneapolis, physician approaches and says
"Can I check a pulse? I am a physician."
ICE agent responds:
"No! Back up. Now!
Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.” “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.
Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.
A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."
Bovino was there.
