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.

What the Trump Admin is telling you. -Don't record ICE -Don't carry a gun around ICE -Don't ask ICE for a warrant. So that takes out the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments.

BREAKING: Minnesota plaintiffs ask federal appeals court to allow protections for those exercising constitutional rights following today's ICE killing of Alex Pretti. They ask the 8th Circuit to lift the admin stay issued in the First/Fourth Amend case. Background: www.lawdork.com/i/184842027/...

Every part of this is heartbreaking

NYT video analysis confirms victim’s gun was removed before he was shot. So he was unarmed. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/us/minneapolis-shooting-federal-agents-video.html

We’ve placed the available videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis today into the same synchronised timeline and are continuing to analyse further.

This is why it’s so important to see all the video you can before making a judgement (looking at you DHS). Video appears to show the victim trying to protect another person & being pulled down by agents. There needs to be a credible investigation, not one by CBP/ICE www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." (Video: @dropsitenews.com )

The new conservative position on gun control is apparently that lawfully carrying a licensed handgun means you deserve to be executed in the street by masked federal agents

Walz press conference - "We're creating a log of evidence for the future prosecution of ice agents and officials responsible."

@democrats.org @vademocrats.bsky.social @michigandems.bsky.social @democraticags.bsky.social All elected Dems, go to Minneapolis to stand with the protestors. WWTCRMD (what would the civil rights movement do).

Hennepin County Sheriff's Office "Sheriff Dawanna Witt has requested assistance from the Minnesota National Guard ... Guard’s role is to work in support of local law enforcement and emergency responders, providing additional resources. Their presence is meant to help create a secure environment."

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

Bellingcat is gold standard. Read entire thread "A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man BEFORE THE FIRST shot was fired." "At least 10 shots being heard in total. Most of them are fired after a brief delay, when the man is already lying motionless on the ground."

I recommend not watching the videos, which are chaotic and gut-wrenching, and instead going through Bellingcat's analysis. This man appeared to be zero threat, while the officers were overly-aggressive, agitated, and clearly primed to used lethal force.

“.. After the shooting, an angry crowd gathered and screamed profanities at federal officers, calling them “cowards” and telling them to go home. “.. One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: “Boo hoo.” @apnews.com apnews.com/article/immi...

I'm seeing people mistakenly claim the gun photo was posted before today, but its just how Google sometimes dates images based on the original date of the thread its posted in, not when it was posted. The photo was posted an hour ago in this 5 day old thread www.reddit.com/r/fivethirty...

Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.

Democrats should run on a slogan that paraphrase's Lincoln's famous burn to McClellan. "If Republicans don't want to run Congress and help the lives of Americans, we'd like to borrow it from them for a while."

What we are watching is a paramilitary force learning that they can kill with impunity, that the regime will smear the victim and defend them. Unless politicians and the legal system exerts accountability, it will not stop. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

Everyone freezing on the East Coast or in the Midwest remember: Kyiv has the same weather, except that hundreds of thousands of people don't have electricity, heating or running water

www.pressherald.com/2026/01/24/e... Legally here: “Another masked group had taken Juan Sebastian Carvajal-Munoz, a civil engineer & U of Maine alum f/ Colombia w/a work visa & no criminal record. They smashed his window, put him in an unmarked Subaru, & drove off, witnesses told the Maine Monitor.”

This has happened in Maine also. The Feds just leave cars on the side of the road or even in the road with nobody in them in the dead of winter.

To repeat: Abolish ICE.

To repeat: It is highly improbable that I would agree with Bill Kristol. I agree with him 100%. ICE has become the gestapo. They need to go. Just saw a Minneapolis protestor yelling at ICE, near shooting site, "We will not forgive you." Correct.

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

As I said before if our former presidents had spines they would show up on a Minneapolis street corner with megaphones. I’d settle for Bush and Obama.

Trump’s back to threatening 100% tariffs on Canada this morning, wow I can’t imagine why the Canadians now see the Chinese as a more reliable trade partner

America first is America alone. The world is going to continue on without us; the long term damage to these United States and We the People is incalculable.

A great read from @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social!!! Remember that with MAHA (and anything else in this administration), it’s all about the grift…do not fall for it

Maybe Trump should ask himself why Canada would make a trade deal with China.

www.nytimes.com/interactive/... all of this is unconstitutional, if anyone cares

Trump knows Carney spanked him at Davos and is now having a predictable petty despotic meltdown. But what he will never understand is that in doing so he is proving the points Carney made in his landmark speech.

Amazing that an administration that can amass so much confidential information cannot figure out how to release the Epstein files.

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever: “It’s time to develop a diversified range of strategic partnerships based on mutual respect and supported by maximum free trade. “And that can indeed be done with middle powers such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia. 1/2

If ICE truly were targeting "the worst of the worst" and not, you know, deliberately brutalizing innocent families with children, they'd rush to correct all the stories like this one, apologizing and insisting it's not what they're really doing. They don't because this is deliberate. This is it.

Series of explosions over Kyiv. For anyone wondering how those negotiations in Abu Dhabi are doing…

You know, I think I once read a book somewhere that explained this .... 🤔
