ICE is TAKING OVER Minneapolis & People Are Getting Hurt
Journalist and activist Kat Abughazaleh joins Hysteria to talk about her firsthand experience standing up to ICE and how to show up for immigrants in your community. Erin and Alyssa also get into updates from Minnesota and the death of Renee Good, the status of the Epstein files, and how Trump used his first year of presidency to line his own pockets. Then they have a discussion about the TV shows that are keeping them sane, especially the increasingly-popular genre “competency porn.” They wrap up with a petty chat about Kyrsten Sinema’s affair lawsuit and the latest Beckham family drama.

As a Canadian, listening to you guys swoon over Mark Carney is like the equivalent of listening to straight women declare "I'd let than man hold my drink" like yeah, that;s the floor babe.
We love Carney though. so thank you for your appreciation

Tim Miller, from The Bulwark, interviewed Tim Walz earlier this week and he had something interesting to say about Vance. He said that, during their debate, JD's lies "had no tell." Normally, Walz said that sort of thing isn't an issue. What I inferred from that is that is one more piece of evidence that JD Vance is a true sociopath. We really need to find a way to de-insentivize these kind of people from getting into leadership positions.

If you like competency porn, I really recommend the TV show Leverage and the reboot Leverage Redemption (with Noah Wyle). It's about a group of thieves who team up to help regular people who got screwed over by the system and greedy millionaires. Involves a lot of heists and hot people being really good at what they do, found family and rich assholes getting what they deserve. I just wished that they existed in real life to take on every one of the current administration.

All is AI… The globe emptied prior Christmas with 3.7 billion placed on the "other" earth the other side of the Sun. The globe swept clean but for the arks… USA gone with all the rest.. So this is AI as are all the International Reports we are seeing on the arks… 4 of which were parts of Australia. Ahmed AI Ahmed the process used to start the AI and also advise the other globe was ready.. That be the 15th Dec.. Only truth arrived on the other globe… and the bad already removed….

I saw a youtube video in Minneapolis showing a 911 call because Ice was trying extract a delivery driver from someone's house & the police told the caller (US citizen) that the police were not coming. They advised her to turn the driver over to Ice.

ICE isn't waiting. We've got ICE sightings of roving SUVs all over town. There is a NextDoor hourly on-line thread where people "blow the whistle" on specific neighborhood sightings. People in Phoenix are mostly laid back, and also people in Phoenix can ramp up to kick-your-ass in a nano second….and many are armed. If you kick in a Phoenician's door, they may very well blow your head off, kick your body out onto the porch, wait for 20 minutes for you to bleed out, and THEN call an ambulance to remove your corpse.

12:18 maga unfortunately has created an incompetent and dangerous higher authority than police- highway patrols actually have higher authority than police and deps (police are city municipalities, sheriff deps are county municipality & hey patrol troopers handle state jurisdiction…) its jurisdictionally fucked because ice is technically the boss on any scene.

Watching your conversation with Kat right now. It’s now Sunday January 25 of 2026 after the m€rd£r of the veteran in Minneapolis. I want the world that Kat and all of us are free. Happy is ideal, but let’s start with keeping our rights. Love this pod! Love you both! *Gaytriot Illinois*

It’s telling how the incident was framed when a white woman was shot merely for existing. In contrast, people of color have faced this same kind of extreme violence for centuries in a country founded on white supremacy, an injustice deeply embedded in U.S. history and woven into its very fabric.

"Protect the children" means 'stand up to ICE' right now, for anyone who actually cares. Let's set the right example for the next generation and show them what bravery looks like.

Next president needs to bring back Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS), eliminate ICE, and put the enforcement back with CBP. WE DON"T NEED ICE.
ICE is a redundant enforcement, backyard-wrestler Proud Boys welfare program.

ICE AND BORDER PATROL WILL PUSH FAR ENOUGH TO FORCE THE PEOPLE TO UNITE AND ARM UP, AND ONCE THEY DO, THE BULLETS WILL FLY, AND THE FEDS ATTACKING THE PEOPLE, WILL BE MWIPED OFF THE PLANET BY THE MASTER!
WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE MASTER, NOT THE EMPLOYEES!!

In DeKalb, Illinois I was chatting with a Mexican woman. The sheriff’s deputy was asking about a missing person. I asked him if they were going to protect us from ICE. He said, “Yes we will.” Thank the lord I live in Illinois.
