I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

Not time to let up the pressure. Keep organizing, showing up, and being there for each other.

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

The Timberwolves may have signed that insipid CEO statement, but their chaplain is spitting fire

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Dana Bash grills Bovino to provide any evidence that Alex Pretti "assaulted law enforcement" and Bovino has absolutely nothing

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

The American Nurses Association on Alex Pretti: "The seriousness of this incident and others demand transparency and accountability. ANA calls for a full, unencumbered investigation, and urges that findings be shared promptly and clearly so Alex's loved ones and the public have answers."

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

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.

Chief Strategist for Rand Paul.

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."

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God. Thank God we have video. Because according to DHS, these 7 heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against him or something. It's nonsense, people. It is nonsense and it's lies."

BREAKING: MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minneapolis protester fatally shot by a federal officer was ICU nurse Alex Pretti, his parents say.

He was legally observing He was helping other legal observers He was helping other potential victims He was not brandishing a gun May Alex Pretti’s memory be a blessing

I am doing my best to respond to this without a string of expletives. But let's be very clear. What just happened in Minnesota was cold blooded murder of a civilian by out of control federal agents, aided and abetted by the entire Trump administration and their fascist enablers.

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

state troopers just used enough gas for a small town on a single corner. they did this because one of us was murdered this morning

The horrors ICE is engaging in isn’t fake news. Lawyers are giving very specific accounts of people following the asylum process. School staff and neighbors witnessed arrests. Even law enforcement says ICE is ignoring due process, racially profiling citizens, and holding people in awful conditions.

It’s real that struggling businesses are taking the hit today for expressing solidarity with the victims of ICE slavecatchers. So for those with means, I declare the weekend Spent That Shit Saturday and Sunday at their shops and eateries to provide them some instant payback. #spendthatshit

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

Anyway, ICE wants the discussion to be about churches not kidnapping 5-year-olds or facewashing defenseless protestors with chemical weapons so

These folks are idiots.

Ossoff: "There's a wickedness to the program. I don't know, pastor, where it is in scripture that it says deny care to the sick, take from those with the least to give to those with the most, violate the house of worship to hunt down the refugee. Where in the scripture are those lessons taught?"

What a betrayal. This is not a Christian Nation. www.ewtnnews.com/world/us/min...

This is a 57-year-old Hmong American citizen. This morning ICE broke open his doorand arrested him for no reason. They wouldn't allow him to even put clothes on, in spite of it being below zero outside. He was later released without charges. Who voted for this?

He opened the door to let his friend inside, and as he went to close the door, an ICE officer shot him in the leg. The DHS said he “began to resist and violently assault the officer.” They are trying to gaslight us. They will not succeed.

Ellison: This is the essence of dictatorship. It’s the essence of it. And we’ve got to get over the idea that this couldn’t happen here. Not only could it happen here—it’s happening here.

"A protester detained, her bra removed and wedding ring cut off, and some of her clothes never returned..." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

Let this radicalize you.

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

This guy was an Army Ranger and is FED UP!!!

Every day that passes is another day that the Trump Administration is failing to comply with the law The deadline to release the Epstein Files was 28 DAYS AGO the DOJ still withholding millions of documents from Congress Congress expects full compliance with the law and there will be consequences

AG Keith Ellison on Trump's "paid protesters" accusations: "It's just a lie. I think you could put it in the category of Haitians in Ohio eating pets ... people are outside because they're upset. They're outside because their neighbors are being hauled off."

"Voters have rejected him. Courage is contagious. There are clear signs of the regime cracking and Trump weakening that are right in front of us. I’m encouraged by it, and I think Democrats have to learn that we need to act with greater ambition, because when we challenge Trump, we keep winning."

Another thing you should know about the Twin Cities, if you're not here, is that while the mayor and governor tell us to stay calm on TV, our council members and other local electeds are on the street patrolling and protecting neighbors, doing mutual aid, and otherwise serving the community.

Koh: Trump has now spent $30 billion from the last bill for 10,000 more I.C.E. Agents that are going to be on the streets. That $30 billion would cover all the ACA subsidies for a year. It would eliminate all co-pays for prescription drugs for people from a year, and eliminate all medical debt.

The Epstein files should have been released a long time ago.

Frost: People should know that them cutting your healthcare, them cutting nutritional assistance, SNAP benefits, all this stuff—they're cutting that from working people so they can give ICE money to go terrorize our communities.

My partner @jasoncapsaicin.bsky.social made a step by step guide on how to break up ice in your neighborhood in Minnesota. Enjoy!

You might have seen video of the guy who was outside the Whipple Federal building in Mpls last week, yelling "We executed one of you" after the ICE shooting death of Renee Good. Here's a story about him from the Midland (Michigan) Daily News. www.ourmidland.com/news/article...

Goldman: Until DHS reins in this rogue and authoritarian ICE secret police force, there should be no more funding provided to DHS.

Maybe I'm a big dumb dumb, but everything else aside, if you shoot and kill the person driving a car towards you, isn't the car going to keep going towards you with no possibility of breaking or swerving? Like, that's exactly what happened after Ross shot Good.

A lot of non-Minnesotans are asking how they can help people in the Twin Cities. Here's a very easy way that will cost you absolutely nothing. Do not vent in the replies to videos or other posts from Minnesotans. We're all on edge, and your rageposting and doomposting isn't what we need right now.

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison: "Minnesota has rejected him at the polls three times, which seems to be part of what's motivating him."

This thread is the best refutation of social-media doomerism that I have seen.
