- If it wasn’t already clear that the video footage contradicts the federal government’s statements, watch this Visual Investigation by my colleagues: Alex Pretti did not pose a threat before agents fired 10 shots in 5 seconds, killing him. www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

- Reposted by Christiaan TriebertUsing imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.
- At least 77 people were killed during U.S. attack on Venezuela. Obituaries confirm 42 Venezuelan military personnel (multiple units), 32 Cuban military members (FAR and MININT), 2 female civilians (Rosa and Yohanna), and 1 unidentified civilian, per Cazadores. www.cazadores.info/77-muertos-i...

- NEW: In addition to MARINERA and HYPERION, three other tankers recently in Venezuelan waters — and previously hit by U.S. sanctions for shipping Iranian/Russian oil —are now officially flying the Russian flag. More: www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
- Russia is still getting Starlink despite sanctions, @nordsint.bsky.social reveals. Records show the gear is routed through Netherlands, UAE, and Hong Kong, often using false manufacturer details. Workarounds keep Starlink running for Russian military in Ukraine. nordsint.org/2026/01/06/a...
- BREAKING: Multiple oil tankers hit by U.S. sanctions appear to be making a coordinated attempt to break the U.S. naval blockade on Venezuela’s energy exports by departing all at once. w/ Anatoly Kurmanaev www.nytimes.com/2026/01/05/w...
- Rubio said the blockade is one of the largest “quarantines” in modern history. But reporting by my colleague Anatoly inside Venezuela, along with analysis from @tankertrackers.com and myself, shows at least 16 tankers appear to be defying Trump’s “complete blockade.” bsky.app/profile/tank...
- NEW: The runaway tanker BELLA 1 has officially rebranded as MARINERA in Russia’s shipping registry. By adopting the vessel under its national flag, Moscow has potentially created a major legal hurdle for U.S. forces currently in pursuit. nytimes.com/2025/12/31/u...

- A scorched boat washed ashore on a remote beach in Colombia. Then mangled bodies. And then empty packets, a few with marijuana traces. We matched the physical and digital evidence to a U.S. airstrike — and found a fishing community terrified to go to sea. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/w...
