  1. Saw a wonderful Star Wars illustration by Dane Madgwic on the side of a box & thought I'd homage it using my miniature practically shot photography skills.

    I used cotton wool for fire, sky, real smoke, a bit of tree bark for the rocks, lighting and figures.

  6. I was always kind of amused how Imperial Stormtroopers have been described as elite soldiers of the Empire but they don't appear as such in the OT films - until recent events...Elite here basically doesn't mean elite in the sense of SAS or Navy SEALS, but more like ICE or maybe the Brown Shirts, as in fanatical loyal believers. I really doubt the "legion of best troops" that the Emperor alluded to on Endor were really elites, but his most fanatically loyal troops.

    People keep looking too closely at what #Trump does for some sort of rational explanation

    This has nothing to do with either "immigration" or "tourism"

    This is a political cheap shot at congressional #Democrats for not fully-funding #ICE to Trump's command, and, again, a pretext to set the precedent of Trump calling out ICE as his personal Gestapo #Stormtroopers on command

    If ICE had any legitimate function at US airports, they would have already been assigned to be there

  22. One of ICE’s faux-military stormtroopers tried to enter a consulate yesterday. Ecuador’s - in breach of all sorts of international protocols.
    One can just imagine the results if, say, a Cuban militia member raided the US Embassy in Havana.

    Live updates: #BorderPatrol commander #GregBovino and some agents expected to leave #Minneapolis, AP source says

    "A senior Border Patrol commander and some agents are expected to leave Minneapolis as early as Tuesday, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

    "The departure of Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino, who has been at the center of the #Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement surge in cities nationwide, comes as President Donald Trump dispatched border czar #TomHoman to Minnesota to take charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations.

    "The person familiar with the matter was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the operation and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.

    "Bovino’s departure marks a significant public shift in federal law enforcement posture amid mounting outrage over the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICU nurse #AlexPretti by Border Patrol agents.

    "His leadership of highly visible federal crackdowns, including operations that sparked mass demonstrations in Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte and Minneapolis, has drawn fierce criticism from local officials, civil rights advocates and congressional Democrats.

    "Criticism has increased around Bovino in the last few days after his public defense of the Pretti shooting and disputed claims about the confrontation that led to his death."

    Hitler had the Brownshirts… Trump has ICE Agents. History repeating itself.
    It’s clear Trump’s administration will attempt to justify every killing by creating a false narrative. It’s not illegal to carry a weapon, and Trump’s in favour of the second amendment. Alex Pretti wasn’t breaking the law.

  33. Man Feds Killed in #Minneapolis Was an #Observer, Eyewitness Says

    The killing marked the second fatal shooting by federal agents in the city in less than a month. Neither victim appeared to be the target of immigration enforcement.

    Noah Hurowitz, Jacqueline Sweet
    January 24 2026, 12:55 p.m.

    "The man federal agents fatally shot in Minneapolis Saturday did not appear to be a target of immigration enforcement, according to two eyewitnesses who spoke with The Intercept. One of the witnesses said the man appeared to be acting as a #civilianobserver.

    "Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said at a press conference Saturday that the victim was a 37-year-old resident of Minneapolis and is believed to be a #UScitizen. The Minnesota Star Tribune identified him as #AlexJeffreyPretti.

    "According to the paper and a public records database accessed by The Intercept, Pretti had a #Nursing license issued in 2021.

    "The shooting came just weeks after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed Renee Good and a day after hundreds of thousands of people braved subzero temperatures to march in Minneapolis against weeks of rolling immigration-enforcement raids by ICE, Border Patrol, and other federal agencies.

    "A video of the incident, which surfaced on Reddit just before 10 a.m. Central Time, shows a number of apparent federal agents in tactical gear wrestling with a person on the ground and striking them multiple times before a shot rings out. As many of the agents scatter from the person, at least nine more shots ring out and the person slumps to the ground.

    "A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security confirmed the shooting and claimed that the man was carrying a handgun, attaching a photo of a Sig Sauer weapon. The Intercept has not been able to independently verify the Department’s claims. [AND CAN WE BELIEVE ANYTHING FROM THE #DepartmentOfHomelandInsecurity?!!]

    "Minnesota allows open carrying of firearms by people with valid permits. O’Hara said Saturday that the victim’s only known law enforcement interactions were over traffic tickets, 'and we believe he is a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry.' "
