Today in South Minneapolis, an immigration enforcement operation turned fatal when an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. While the Department of Homeland Security is labeling the incident an "act of domestic terrorism," local leaders—including Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz—are calling it a "reckless" murder and "propaganda." We break down the timeline, the viral video evidence, and the escalating "occupation" of the Twin Cities.Plus Eric Swalwell tells us what he will do about ICE if he elected Governor of California. Key Discussion PointsThe Incident at 34th & Portland: A breakdown of the events at approximately 9:30 AM. Renee Good, identified as a "legal observer" and U.S. citizen, was in her SUV near an active ICE raid when she was confronted by federal agents.Conflicting Narratives:The DHS/Trump Admin View: Claims Good "weaponized her vehicle" and attempted to ram agents, forcing a "defensive" shooting.The Eyewitness/Video View: Witnesses and viral footage suggest Good was attempting to turn around or leave the scene. Reports indicate an agent reached across the hood and fired multiple shots through the windshield into her face.The Political Fallout: * Mayor Jacob Frey’s Rebuke: "To ICE: Get the f*** out of Minneapolis."Governor Walz’s Warning: Calling the federal narrative "bullsh*t" and a "propaganda machine," while putting the National Guard on alert to maintain peace.The Broader Context: This killing occurs during a massive federal surge (approx. 2,000 agents) in Minnesota—just blocks from where George Floyd was murdered in 2020.Legal & Civil Rights: What are the rights of legal observers? Who has jurisdiction to prosecute a federal agent for a shooting on city streets? 👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: [email protected]

Just days ago, on January 2nd, the world watched as the United States launched a mission to apprehend and extract Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores. Now, as Maduro sits in a New York detention center pleading "not guilty" to narco-terrorism charges, we ask the question everyone is thinking: What is the endgame?Inside This Episode:The Takedown: We break down the timeline of the January 2nd/3rd strikes, from the Delta Force raid on the presidential compound to the first-of-its-kind use of one-way attack drones by the U.S. military.The "Monroe Doctrine" Returns: President Trump has signaled that the U.S. will "run" the country until a transition is ready. We explore what this means for Venezuelan sovereignty and why Vice President Delcy Rodríguez is calling it a "kidnapping."The Oil Factor: Is this about democracy, or one of the world’s largest oil reserves? We discuss the administration's "Absolute Resolve" to regain control of Venezuelan resources and the friction this creates around the world.Global Fallout: From the emergency UN Security Council meetings to Denmark’s warning that this sets a "dangerous precedent" for NATO (Trump wants Greenland after all), we look at how America's allies and rivals are reacting to this "surgical law enforcement operation."Is this the dawn of a new era of stability in the Western Hemisphere, or the start of a "destructive conflagration"? We’re finding out. 👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: [email protected]

We’re joined by civil rights attorney and writer Qasim Rashid to break down a viral right-wing video that falsely attacks Somali Americans in Minnesota. Qasim walks us through how the video was constructed, why its claims about “fraud” and “crime” completely fall apart under scrutiny, and how racist disinformation is deliberately engineered to spread outrage and fear. We dig into the mechanics of viral propaganda, the political incentives behind targeting immigrant communities, and why these lies persist even after being debunked.What we cover in this episode:How a viral right-wing video targeting Somali Americans was created and distributedWhy the claims about fraud and criminality collapse when examined with real dataThe role of racism and xenophobia in modern political disinformationHow influencers monetize outrage and fear for clicks, donations, and cloutWhy immigrant communities are frequent targets in election cyclesThe media ecosystem that allows false narratives to spread uncheckedWhat responsible journalism and fact-checking should look like in moments like thisHow audiences can better spot and resist manipulative viral content  👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: [email protected]

We discuss what fascism really means, where the term comes from, and how Trump’s rhetoric, governing style, and political movement compare to historical and modern examples. From attacks on democratic institutions and the press to strongman politics and loyalty tests, we separate analysis from outrage and ask what actually matters as Americans head into another high-stakes election cycle.We also have some fun with the humiliating boxing matches for both Andrew Tate and Jake Paul over the weekend.  👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: [email protected]

Maine Governor Janet Mills joins Find Out for a blunt conversation about something too many Democrats still tiptoe around: standing up to Donald Trump. Mills discusses how she’s actually fought Trump , defended democracy, and delivered results in a state that rewards strength—not spin. We also get into why the myth of Susan Collins as a “moderate” survivor needs to die, and why Mills makes the case that clear contrasts, backbone, and a real record are exactly what it will take to beat Collins in 2026.  👕 **Merch** made in the USA & union-made: https://findoutpodcast.com📬 Subscribe to bonus content: https://findoutpodcast.substack.com 📱 Follow us everywhere: @FindOutPodcast 📣 Share this episode & tag us #FindOutPodcast 📥 Send us feedback and tips: [email protected]
