I'm not going to bother responding on most of the drivel you've posted - if reports of ice possibly not paying a hotel bill are things you want to spend your time on, have at it. If you want to spend time posting Jimmy Kimmel videos nobody will watch, have at that as well.
However, if you are finding yourself relating to the Krassentsteins, they are folks you admire, follow, believe, etc.......you really may have lost it. This is his brother, but they are one and the same.
Brian Krassenstein's Involvement
Brian Krassenstein (@krassenstein on X), a prominent left-leaning commentator with over 1 million followers, has been vocal in supporting the Minneapolis protests since early January 2026. He's posted extensively about the unrest, framing it as resistance to "Trump's deportation machine" and criticizing federal overreach.
Key details on his ties to the Signal chats:
Admission of Participation: Krassenstein openly confirmed on X (in posts from January 7–28, 2026) that he joined anti-ICE Signal groups in Minneapolis for "journalistic purposes" to monitor and report on ICE movements. He defended this as free speech and citizen journalism, mocking critics (e.g., "Don't be an idiot" in response to claims of fraud at protest sites). He even solicited tips on ICE agents and shared anti-ICE messages, like one from Katy Perry.
Leak Exposure: The January 2026 Signal leak (amplified by Elon Musk's retweet of Higby's thread) directly implicated Krassenstein. Screenshots showed him in the chats, including a now-deleted message about "aborting plans" after the infiltration was detected. Reports from Valuetainment, Politico, and MPR News cited compromised participant emails linking him to coordination. One post from @joeydark2Light (January 28) summarized: "a January 2026 leak exposed a Signal chat... including Brian Krassenstein, who admitted on X to being in the group for journalistic purposes."
Controversial Actions:
On January 7, he posted a "target map" of alleged ICE locations, prompting threats against agents (e.g., a leftist user urging to "kill DHS agents"). This led to X users, including @MrAndyNgo and @officer_Lew, demanding his account suspension for doxxing and violating platform policies on threats/obstruction.
He was on the ground at protest sites, like a learning center, live-tweeting and confronting journalists investigating related claims (e.g., fraudulent daycares tied to migrants).
Defiance and Backlash: Krassenstein has not denied involvement but framed it defiantly, e.g., announcing new Signal groups for coordination. Critics like @TheRightWingM accused him of admitting Soros funding (unverified). No arrests of Krassenstein have been reported as of January 30, but the FBI probe includes influencers like him.
They are paid Democratic shills. These are your guys? You admire this type of person funk?
