Fans at an All Elite Wrestling match on Wednesday night broke out into an anti-ICE chant that briefly paused the pro-wrestling match and appeared to startle one of the wrestlers in the ring.
At the AEW World Championship Eliminator Match in Las Vegas, which was being broadcast live on TBS and HBO Max, a loud and sustained cry against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of F--- ICE reverberated through the audience before the opening bell rang.
Reigning champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman, also known as MJF, looked shocked as the chant began, seeming to break character and staring into the camera wide eyed before scanning the crowd. Brody King, in the opposite corner, can be seen looking at the audience and nodding.
King has been outspoken against ICE in the weeks leading up to the Championship Eliminator Match. The pro wrestler and lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Gods Hate collaborated with artists and a printing company to release t-shirts raising money for the Minnesota Rights Action Committee.

Media lauds Trump's Davos speech as 'very strong' as world cringes
Mainstream media outlets on Wednesday once again reported on a strange, rambling speech by President Donald Trump as if it were a normal presentation, continuing the tradition of sanewashing his rhetoric and misinforming their audiences.
But soon after the speech was over, CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer characterized Trumps rant very strong, betraying the haphazard and unfocused remarks that had just aired on the news network.
The New York Times reported on the speech in a piece headlined Trump Threatens Europe Over Greenland but Rules Out Sending Troops. That was based on Trumps statement, I dont have to use force. I dont want to use force. I wont use force. All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland.
But this ignores Trumps considerable history during his time as a tabloid media figure, a reality TV host, and as a politician during which he has lied with abandon. Trumps claim that he would not use force against Greenland should rationally be put in context of his past claim that President Barack Obama was not a natural born citizen (a lie) or that climate change was a hoax from China (a massive lie).

GOP furious after Newsom gives them taste of their own medicine
Republicans are up in arms after California Gov. Gavin Newsom set a special election to fill a GOP-held House seat for Aug. 4the latest date he could under state law.
The move ensures that the seatleft vacant when Republican Rep. Doug LaMalfa died unexpectedly on Jan. 6will be open for eight months, thereby robbing House Speaker Mike Johnson of a critical vote in his narrow and unruly majority.
Gavin Newsoms decision to punt this special election to August is a blatant waste of taxpayer dollars and a disservice to the people of Californias First District," National Republican Congressional Committee Chair Richard Hudson whined in a statement. "He could have scheduled this election alongside the June primary, but instead chose to leave this seat vacant for months. Californians deserve a voice in Congress, and Newsom is denying them one for purely political reasons.
Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California also complained, writing in a post on X, "When its [sic] a Democrat seat, Newsom says the goal is representation as soon as possible. When its [sic] Republican, he purposely leaves constituents stranded."

Nice work Gavin!
Maybe "neo-Nazi" isn't hyperbole: Trump admin has asked UPenn for "lists of Jews."
From Daily Kos:
To this point, Ive resisted the urge to label Trump, his administration, or his supporters as neo-Nazis or neo-Fascists. However, its getting harder and harder to resist the urge and maintain my sanity. Almost buried in the Gish Gallop of daily outrages, corruption, and incompetencies is this story reported in The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/13/upenn-trump-jews-list) :
The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is demanding [University of Pennsylvania] turn over names and personal information about Jewish members of the Penn community as part of the administrations stated goal to combat antisemitism on campuses. But some Jewish faculty and staff have condemned the governments demand as a visceral threat to the safety of those who would find themselves identified because compiling and turning over to the government lists of Jews conjures a terrifying history, according to a press release put out by the groups lawyers.

Miami Herald reported last year a deal was offered to U.S. by Venezuelan V.P.
A group of senior Venezuelan government officials, led by Vice President Delcy Rodríguez and her brother Jorge, who is president of the National Assembly, have quietly promoted a series of initiatives in recent months aimed at presenting themselves to Washington as a more acceptable alternative to Nicolás Maduros regime, according to people with direct knowledge of the talks.
The proposals, funneled through intermediaries in Qatar, sought to persuade sectors of the U.S. government that a Madurismo without Maduro could enable a peaceful transition in Venezuelapreserving political stability without dismantling the ruling apparatus.
According to the sources, Qatari mediators presented to the U.S. two formal proposals this year, one in April and another in September. Both outlined potential governing mechanisms without Maduro in power. In those scenarios, Delcy Rodríguez would serve as the institutional continuity figure, while retired Gen. Miguel Rodríguez Torres, who is currently in exile and is not related to the Rodriguez siblings, would head a transitional government.
The central argument, the sources said, was that the Rodríguez siblings represent a more palatable version of so-called chavismo the socialist ideology named for deceased leader Hugo Chávez for Washington, since neither has been indicted on narcotrafficking charges by U.S. courts. However, former regime officials whose accounts have been used by U.S. prosecutors in cases linked to the so-called Cartel of the Sunshave implicated both siblings in logistical support and money laundering operations.

Nearly 40 Years Old-But It Could Be An Anthem For Our Times
Pink Floyd - On The Turning Away
Album: A Momentary Lapse of Reason
Year: 1987
Music: Gilmour
-- LYRICS --
On the turning away
From the pale and downtrodden
And the words they say
Which we won't understand
"Don't accept that what's happening
Is just a case of others' suffering
Or you'll find that you're joining in
The turning away"
It's a sin that somehow
Light is changing to shadow
And casting it's shroud
Over all we have known
Unaware how the ranks have grown
Driven on by a heart of stone
We could find that we're all alone
In the dream of the proud
On the wings of the night
As the daytime is stirring
Where the speechless unite
In a silent accord
Using words you will find are strange
And mesmerized as they light the flame
Feel the new wind of change
On the wings of the night
No more turning away
From the weak and the weary
No more turning away
From the coldness inside
Just a world that we all must share
It's not enough just to stand and stare
Is it only a dream that there'll be
No more turning away?
I think this is how Trump would try for a third term
Remember how Justice Barrett was interviewed and said the 22nd Amendment was law, but also said something to the effect that it had never been challenged?
So Trump runs for a third term-
-Some states refuse to put him on the ballot, claiming the 22nd Amendment-
-Trump sues, and appeals, eventually goes to the Supremes-
-and guess who wins, 6-3?
Quick question you need to ask Jill Stein supporters: Where is she now?
For someone who once cast herself as the great disruptor of Americas two-party system, Jill Stein has a habit of vanishing once the campaign banners come down. As Trumps second term grinds on, marked by mounting damage and disorder, Stein is largely absent, surfacing only for the occasional sparsely attended talk in places like Seattle.
Where is the outrage over the ICE kidnappings? Or the rallies to stop Trumps attack on renewable projects? Giant wind farms are near completion, which would provide millions of homes with electricity, but have been shut down after spending billions because Trump has a very weird hatred for wind. Trump also cancelled finishing the largest solar farm in North America, destroying jobs and cutting off access to desperately needed energy.
Its hard not to notice how quiet shes been while Trump continues undoing environmental protections she once claimed as her top issue. For someone who branded herself as an environmental crusader, her silence is deafening.
The rest of us figured out a long time ago that she is a Russian-puppet fraud who only pops up every four years to help right-wing billionaires and the GOP. She didnt cost us the election in 2024, but she didnt do us any favors either.
