Top Stories Daily

Following the invasion of 3000 ICE officers,
everyday Minnesotans are pouring into #rapid #response networks and scouring their neighborhoods
—even in 20-degree weather before the sun has come up.

“I’m being tailed by a car I think is ICE,
I can make out two masked individuals through the tinted windshield,” someone says.

The call goes quiet for a few seconds.
“I’m being pulled over.”

Dispatch chimes in:
“Stay unmuted,
turn down your volume so they don’t hear the call,
everyone else please stay on mute.”

We hear banging,
then something shatters.

“ICE just smashed their window,”
our driver explains calmly,
decelerating ahead of a red light.

We are shocked,
but this is a regular occurrence.

Everyone on the call keeps their cool.

We have heard stories from rapid responders about ICE tailing them,
boxing them in,
smashing their car windows,
pepper-spraying them,
holding them at gun point,
shooting out their tires,
detaining them.

Some responders have been taken to the regional ICE headquarters,
the #Whipple building.

Others have been driven to the other side of the city
and thrown out of the vehicle, ❄️alone in the cold.

Their cars have been left running in the road.

The responders tell us all these stories in passing,
quickly returning focus to the work that is to be done.

Of course, ICE has done worse than this, too.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot and killed #Renee #Good as she was trying to drive away.

A week later, as ICE agents were pursuing someone,
they shot live ammunition at a house with a family in it, hitting #Julio #Sosa-#Celis in the leg.

But when you ask patrollers what they want people to know about what’s happening in their city, they barely mention the broken windows and bruises.

They describe the feeling of connection and solidarity filling the streets.

They make ❤️hearts with their hands from car to car, they blow kisses.

They make dinners for one another,
they drop off groceries for undocumented families that have been locked inside their homes for weeks.

They tell us about how, when a skirmish broke out on a busy road,
an entire café full of people stood up as one,
dropping what they were doing to run towards the sound.

We hear again and again about their deep love for the community in the Twin Cities and for their neighbors.

Every day, people who never imagined themselves fighting ICE are participating in bold combative actions

From #RapidResponse to Revolutionary Social Change

The Potential of the Rapid Response Networks

2026-01-21 via #CrimethInc

"In this account, participants in the rapid response networks in the Twin Cities describe their experiences, explore the threat represented by the development of Immigration and Customs Enforcement into a political police, and propose a strategy for how the rapid response networks could rise to the challenge and contribute to revolutionary social change."

I had a fascinating conversation with Wilson Lin about FastRender, the browser rendering engine he built with the help of 2,000+ coding agents over the past few weeks. It's 47m on YouTube or you can read my highlights here: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/23/fastrender/

Wilson Lin on FastRender: a browser built by thousands of parallel agents
https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/23/fastrender/

> At the peak, when we had the stable system running for one week continuously, there were approximately 2,000 agents running concurrently at one time. And they were making, I believe, thousands of commits per hour. — https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/23/fastrender/

2026, folks! 🧊 🫠 🧯

https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/23/fastrender/

> One of the trade-offs was: if you wanted every single commit to be a hundred percent perfect, make sure it can always compile every time, that might be a synchronization bottleneck. [...]
>
> Especially as you break up the system into more modularized aspects, you can see that errors get introduced, but small errors, right? An API change or some syntax error, but then they get fixed really quickly after a few commits. So there’s a little bit of slack in the system to allow these temporary errors so that the overall system can continue to make progress at a really high throughput. [...]
>
> People may say, well, that’s not correct code. But it’s not that the errors are accumulating. It’s a stable rate of errors. [...] That seems like a worthwhile trade-off.

➤ 從個人_side_project 到千代理協作的瀏覽器實驗
✤ https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jan/23/fastrender/
Cursor 團隊的研究專案 FastRender，是一個由數千個 AI 代理並行協作、從零開始建構的網頁瀏覽器。專案起源於工程師 Wilson Lin 的個人實驗，旨在測試前沿模型（如 Claude Opus 4.5、GPT-5.1 與 GPT-5.2）處理複雜任務的能力。系統採用樹狀結構的代理集羣，透過精細的任務分割與非重疊工作分配，大幅減少合併衝突，並利用 Rust 編譯器、規格文件與視覺回饋循環來指導代理自主運作。雖然目前尚未支援 JavaScript，但該專案已證明大規模代理協作的可行性，並持續探索 WebAssembly 與 WebGPU 等新挑戰。
+ 沒想到 GPT-5.1 和 5.2 竟然比專為編碼優化的模型更適合這種複雜的協作任務！這對 AI 代理的設計邏輯很有啟發。

this is brilliant: https://richarddavidhames.substack.com/p/the-mirror-cracks

An absolutely brilliant long form article by Richard David Hames. It’s so, so good.

Some curated quotes:

Donald Trump is not an interruption of the American story; he is one of its clearest chapters. He condenses habits that long predate him—mythmaking, extraction, spectacle, racial hierarchy, masculine anxiety—into a single, gaudy figure. To look at him carefully is to see the civilisation that made him.

The United States was founded on a dazzling contradiction: “all men are created equal,” written by men who owned other humans. Its history since has been a choreography of grand ideals and systematic betrayal. One response to this tension has been hypocrisy—keeping the language of virtue while quietly doing the opposite. Another response, Trump’s response, is to drop the mask.

Some curated quotes:

Donald Trump is not an interruption of the American story; he is one of its clearest chapters. He condenses habits that long predate him—mythmaking, extraction, spectacle, racial hierarchy, masculine anxiety—into a single, gaudy figure. To look at him carefully is to see the civilisation that made him.

The United States was founded on a dazzling contradiction: “all men are created equal,” written by men who owned other humans. Its history since has been a choreography of grand ideals and systematic betrayal. One response to this tension has been hypocrisy—keeping the language of virtue while quietly doing the opposite. Another response, Trump’s response, is to drop the mask.

If you are estranged from a parent, or have ever wondered how those situations arise, I’ve written about my own experience.

Parental estrangement still carries a lot of taboo and is often described as a trend.

I hope what I have written helps to convey the long process and complexity behind a decision like this, which is rarely made on a whim.

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a Substack note on parental estrangement. After many requests to share it more fully, I’ve published it here.

It isn’t prescriptive or up for debate. It’s simply an attempt to describe my own experience, and how distance is usually reached slowly, not suddenly.
