One the five most successful shows in history just wiped out by a billionaire baby and his blog posting grifter. Almost 60 years, a dark irony.

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

I have a lot of respect for people who work at the VA and I’m sorry they have to serve during this dickhead’s tenure.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

Seems like an important story. Too important for the throwaway placement you gave it on today's front page.

By Lying about Alex Pretti's Murder, Kristi Noem Makes Herself a Co-Conspirator In It www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/25/b...

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Well, well, well….

This is appalling. I can say with certainty that Steve Jobs would be ashamed of Tim Cook at this terrible moment, one of many these days, and he has sullied the last year of his tenure and the Apple brand by his craven need to please shareholders over holding onto some basic values of decency.

Those House Dems who voted for the new DHS funding just got the limbs sawed off that they were perched on.

Hegseth is from Minnesota. What a piece of crap.

“ICE > MN” Everything wrong with this administration—and the people in it—summed up in six simple characters.

“Say his name!” “Alex Pretti!”

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

There are at least three videos showing this just isn't true.

“I declare under penalty of perjury . . . this is true.” — Something Kristi Noem would never sign.

AOC on Noem's lies: "They are asking you to give up your belief in your own senses and instead hand over your belief to anything they say ... look at it for yourself and what you will see is an innocent man being executed in the street."

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

2 states out of how many?

When was he supposed to do that? Between the bursts of pepper spray? Between the blows to his head?

If your blood isn't boiling with anger right now, then you are pro-ICE and fully on board with state-sanctioned executions of US citizens.

This is the "gun" that Trump, Noem, Bovino, and every other administration official claims the victim was brandishing that justified him being pushed, tackled, shot, and killed. A phone.

Van Hollen: "The Trump admin has essentially said to folks at ICE, 'Anything goes. You have a license to kill. And by the way, we won't investigate you. We'll take care of this for you.' When they're calling these Americans 'domestic terrorists,' what they're saying to ICE is we got your back."

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

The mendacity of Kristi Noem is of world historical level - just a thoroughly vile and worthless henchwoman of evil.

Mayor calls national guard to help protect citizens from president’s lawless goon squad Trump’s America

Brandishing a phone and an open hand over his head, while stepping up in defense of a woman, does not constitute “brandishing a gun”

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

The Trump administration has ordered work stoppages and layoffs and has tried cutting off funding to effectively dismantle the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

You can see pretti’s hands under the pile all the way up to where gray jacket guy takes the gun. Pretti clearly never pulled it out.

Until they vote it’s nothing but words.

DHS Shooting Victim in Minneapolis Was a ‘Sweet’ and ‘Principled Person’ Zeteo spoke with two doctors who worked with Alex Pretti, a nurse who is the latest victim of Trump’s violent invasion of Minnesota. Read now: zeteo.com/p/dhs-shooti...

Someday this man will be prosecuted for his crimes against humanity. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is ok tho

Stephen Miller calls the deceased “a domestic terrorist.”

These monsters are sick.

Not a “paid protester.” Not an Antifa battalion commander. Not “bussed in from out of state.” A registered nurse at the VA who broke no laws and cared about humanity. Murdered by the Trump Administration.

RIP Alex Pretti 💔

I keep reupping this. Greg Bovino has been in the vicinity of virtually all the worst DHS violence, and was out lying about today's murder. He gets his orders from the White House. www.emptywheel.net/2026/01/07/t...
