Alex Pretti's last act was pure heroism.

Eyewitness to the killing of Alex Pretti: "The thing that stood out to me was that he was calm. There was no way that he was the one escalating this. He was doing exactly what so many of us have done. We were recording the ICE agents because they need cameras on them to keep them accountable"

This is one part of one block in N.Y.C. in 1929 . Trump has lived in an Ivory Tower his entire life. He has no reality about the working class. This is also a photo of N.Y.C. 1929.

It is more imp than ever that we recognize the relationship btwn these fascist tactics & the underlying ideology. This isn’t going away or even getting better until the regime has been crushed & its broligarchy driven into obscurity.

The Dept. of Homeland Security did an Instagram post that said “We’ll have our home again.” That’s the name of a song by white nationalists allied with the Proud Boys. DHS said it was a coincidence. The NY Times told DHS the song was in the background of the post. DHS deleted the post. (Gift link)

Still processing: They killed a man, and before that they killed a woman. And by “they” I mean some of “our fellow Americans” sent by the President of the United States. They killed an innocent woman and man, needlessly, in broad daylight. Because they felt like it.

LOL #WompWomp #BeBest

🤣🤣🤣🤣

People should be required to experience ICE's illegal brutalities before being able to claim that they support ICE and their methods.

Former ICE director: Trump will take 'next step' if Minnesota leaders don't show commitment to law and order https://twp.ai/4ivQ9b

We're now seeing a steady march of Catholic prelates with obvious backing from the Vatican saying hat it's time now to defund and liquidate ICE.

Vindman in Florida at least makes them have to spend a bit more there, no?

She didn’t go in quietly; another shero in Maple Grove, MN! Abducted by the PD, activist and veteran Josephine Guilbeau, along with 20+ others, for loudly but peacefully protesting last night outside of a hotel housing federal agents that are terrorizing Minneapolis. (1/26/26) #Resist #FuckICE

Most of the stupid shit humans say or do, is nothing to get outraged about, it's to be noted with a shrug, or eyeroll, and not be allowed to derail our personal quest for Enlightenment. Fools should not disturb the wise.

The march to fascism may pause or slow down briefly, but it doesn't end until Trump and his minions are totally and completely gone. He must be impeached and removed.

Just a quick note about Bovino being moved and the other aesthetic politicoplasty the Trump administration is undertaking: Don't be fooled. Don't get all Susan Collins-y about it. Trump hasn't learned his lesson. He never will.

I often tell myself that though the world seems objectively like a cruel, infernal Hell-machine, grinding up my bones, and stabbing my soul in it's back, and twisting the rusty blade, it may just be a bad dream, or not even a dream, but a harmless mirage.

Um... WTH

He's not a "moderate Democrat."

Yeah, first Renee, then, as if that wasn't enough, Alex Pretti ... it's riled up the wrong Americans - the white tribe.

Plus, Pretti was in his own damn neighborhood, documenting atrocities and helping others being abused by these thugs. He never pulled his gun on anyone. Meanwhile that pos Rittenhouse drives over an hour away to a place he has no business in, walking around like Rambo and the cops thank him.

Not here to tell protesters what to do, but I think regularly blasting some Les Mis at protests would really rile Trump up, and I would find that amusing.

Corporate Democrats don’t want to abolish ICE because they helped make it what it is today and they focus on training because they want to retain a robust force but would rather they weren’t so openly fascistic We’ve been in a good cop bad cop situation our entire lives and it’s past time to see it

This is not a rogue agency. This is an agency doing exactly what it’s been told to do, from the President down.

You and what army? No, really, Matt: if you want to deport and jail all my neighbors, you’re going to need an army. We’re in the real world now bucko. This isn’t internet land where you declare something and it becomes true. You need actual dudes. So where’s your army?

I truly hate that this idea actually makes sense, and I'm not kidding one bit.

Two things I think we are sorely missing that could really make a difference for removing felon Trump and his regime: 1. A charismatic leader to unite us, 2. A large-scale means to coordinate our resistance across national to local scale.

omg

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live." That's a death threat. If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

My husband didn't know, so I'll repeat it here: Border Czar isn't a real job. Tom Homan has a fake job with a fake title. It also means that he wasn't confirmed by anyone in Congress. (Trump tried to confirm Homan in 1.0 but he failed bc Homan was too corrupt even pre-cava bag.)

Correct. The architect is Stephen Miller. The influence and style is white supremacist and neo-Nazi. The end goal is fascism.

it is both true that firing bovino doesn’t change a whole lot in terms of policy and also true that they have put a lot of money, time and effort into trying to make him the “never back down, fuck you, we own this place” face of the operation, and unceremoniously kicking him to the curb is a retreat

Stephen Miller’s wife who, among other things, lived in Russia and is still a Russian citizen.

Now, *this* is the cut of Melania's new vanity movie I'd watch. (I'm kidding. I wouldn't watch anything about her.)

One day Karoline will write her memoirs, and recount how Trump continually sexually-harassed her.

Say NO! to Noem.

I am one of like ~10k people doing this, but also seemingly the only one who is willing to talk to reporters, which means I am getting a truly unmanageable number of calls. Please guys, they're not the enemy, tell them what we're doing
