Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.

🚨BREAKING: Minnesota state attorneys alleged in a court hearing that Donald Trump and the Department of Justice are attempting to force the state to surrender its sovereignty — in particular, its control over elections — through the massive federal immigration operation in the Twin Cities region.

On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the atrocities of the past and our shared responsibility to educate people and ensure the Holocaust is never forgotten. By listening to survivors and passing their stories on, we bridge generations and stand united against antisemitism and hate. #HMD

Wow— “Cardinal Tobin told hundreds of faithful gathered online that now is the time to say no — no to violence, no to indifference, and no to funding the U.S. government’s own “machinery of death.” www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope-leos-...

Carrying a gun is not illegal and in fact, many would say it’s the most patriotic thing you can do. What is illegal is executing a man after you’ve taken his gun and he poses no immediate threat. It was murder plain and simple.

All flags in San Diego County have been ordered to fly half-staff through Wednesday in solidarity with Minnesota, and in honor of those murdered by ICE. www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/s...

Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, was shot and killed by ICE agents on Saturday.

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop. It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities. I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

This lawless administration is now operating under the “what are you gonna do about it” doctrine. A John Roberts creation.

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."

6/ There's tons more interesting information in the full survey — more than I had space to write up! For example, here are the genres Americans say they read, and which ones men and women say they read!

4/ The median American read 2 books in 2025. The *average* was quite a bit higher — but that's driven by the minority of heavy readers pulling up the mean:

NEW: How many books did you read this year? If it was more than 2, congrats: you read more than the median American. Read on for way more @today.yougov.com polling from me on America's book-reading habits in 2025. 1/

In 2021, Richard J. Evans, a noted historian of the Third Reich wrote an essay filled with reasons he didn't think Trump, while dangerous, should be considered fascist. Trump seems to be using that essay as a to-do list. 1/x www.newstatesman.com/world/americ...

...President Trump is using all the instruments: the reported quotas for ICE arrests; the paramilitary force made up of thugs drunk on their own brutality; the spectacle of random violence, particularly in city streets; the postmortem vilification of the victims.... It’s called state terror.

ICE took the witnesses to today's murder of Alex Pretti into custody!

This is who Trump's fascist thugs murdered today. His name was Alex Pretti and he was a VA nurse, American born, and had no criminal history. If they will lie about murdering him, then they will lie about murdering you next.

This is cold-blooded state murder of an US citizen. Stephen Miller called Alex Pretti a "domestic terrorist" & claimed he was trying to "assassinate" federal officers. A total lie. Only a cretin would hurl this falsehood & stick with it. This a fascistic and reckless disregard of life & the truth.

Best video evidence yet. If anybody did that in the army, they would be court-martialed. The United States is a fascist dictatorship. Alex Jeffrey Pretti was executed. Murdered by Nazi goons at the hands of Trump, Noem, Bovino, Bondi, Patel, Hegseth, Homan, Bove, Vance, Mike Johnson, and MAGA.

Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.

NRA reaction to misinformation about the murder of Alex Pretti. Worth noting that no such defense was issued for the murder of Philando Castile.

Man killed in Minneapolis by federal agents: VA nurse Alex Pretti Alex Pretti, 37, a registered nurse working in the intensive care unit at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System, which serves veterans. ‘He wanted to help people’ | Minneapolis | The Guardian

Kare11 examining three angles of video showing Alex Pretti, a licensed gun owner, was disarmed before being shot 10 times by federal agents. youtu.be/o1Yoi8QkxVo?...

Alex Pretti, a RN, was trying to help a woman being roughed up by ICE. A Good Samaritan was executed today in cold blood.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

OMG! The footage of the killing of Alex Pretti is bad. It’s really bad.

again: utterly, mindblowingly absurd that this is what they’re going with when you can see from angle after angle that Pretti did not have his gun out and was in fact restrained on the ground when they disarmed and then shot him these are bad lies and they’re going to backfire horrendously

Just a few hours after Alex Pretti was shot, hundreds of people showed up for an observer training in L.A. the room reached capacity. The line to get in stretched around the block.

NYT says ICE shot him in the back: An “agent aims his own firearm at Mr. Pretti’s back and appears to fire one shot at close range… A third agent unholsters a weapon. Both agents appear to fire additional shots into Mr. Pretti as he lies motionless… At least 10 shots appear to have been fired…” 🎁🔗

This was the start of the interaction between Alex Pretti and federal agents. He was dead less than a minute later, without making any aggressive or threatening movements toward the agents. DHS, Miler, Bondi, and any number of others are lying because it serves their agenda & there’s no consequences

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

I want to know where he had the weapon in the first place. I think it was one of the goons dropping their own piece, someone said gun and they freaked out. Someone interdependently needs to show that was his weapon, which he never put his hands on even if it was

That photo is from this video, which shows the victim being pepper-sprayed before going to the ground, after which ICE agents swarm him. When he’s on the ground being held and pummeled, his empty hands are visible An ICE officer runs off with a gun just *before* the shooting starts.

Kristi Noem just said Alex Pretti showed up looking to commit murder. Yet again she's viciously smearing an innocent person and lying to pretend he's a terrorist after he was viciously gunned down by Gestapo thugs. These people are irredeemable criminals and they need to be locked up.

Donald Trump is tearing America apart. This family deserves the truth and justice.

Media keeps describing Pretti as a “protester” - “why bring a gun to a protest” - but he was something much more akin to a community-based first responder for ICE sightings. He likely wasn’t expecting to get beaten in the street by them or have any violent encounter. Just observe and alert.

A VA nurse who dedicated his life to helping others, murdered by a man who has dedicated his life to hurting others.

I wholeheartedly agree with this and also using Pretti and Good's virtue as a weapon is both necessary and effective as a rhetorical weapon bsky.app/profile/tang...

Alex Pretti took care of veterans. He was looking out for his fellow Minneapolis neighbors as an observer. Alex Pretti was beaten and murdered in the street.

BREAKING: A witness who was just 5 feet from Alex Pretti filed an affidavit depicting what she saw. She says he didn’t touch any of the officers and didn’t appear to be resisting. He was merely helping a woman who had been pepper-sprayed. She’s is terrified that ICE is looking for her.

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.
