BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Again, talking about ordinary government processes as if we're not living through a major political crisis creates the illusion of normalcy. It's counterproductive. We have a lawless, illegitimate president and we have to confront that fact, loud and often

so I went to r/climbing to check the reaction to Honnold free soloing Taipei 101 and the top post on the subreddit is a picture of Alex Pretti outdoors next to a rock face with the title “ICU nurse Alex Pretti, killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis today” it has 56000 upvotes

Feels like it should be a pretty big deal that a Trump supporter physically assaulted a Democratic congressman

a lot of folks going “of course we knew they were full of shit” and we did but there are plenty of people out there who take their sanctimonious bullshit about gun rights at face value and it is important to shove this in their faces and go, no, they don’t mean a single word they say

“The good guy with the gun” was shot today

Public executions at the hands of the government should never happen in “the land of the free.” Not one more taxpayer dollar for Trump’s DHS, CBP or ICE.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

you don't become a martyr because you were a saint, you become a saint because you were martyred

Abolishing ICE isn’t enough. Everyone responsible: Stephen Miller, Noem, Bovino, Lewandowski and more also need to be thrown in prison for murder, assault, kidnapping, trafficking children, etc.

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

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.

A running list of things that are older than ICE:

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

ICE thinks Minnesotans will eventually give up, it’s like they’re unfamiliar with Vikings fandom

Well we know the name of Renée Good’s murderer. It’s ICE agent Jonathan Ross. It’s been over two weeks and there’s no warrant for his arrest. So this is not the gotcha you seem to think it is.

the extent to which this administration is out of control is really summed up by the fact that they immediately went with “this was an armed terrorist there to kill law enforcement” knowing that video from multiple angles completely disproving them was out there and would be seen by everyone

Another murder by immigration enforcement in my district. I am absolutely horrified that federal agents are targeting and executing our residents instead of protecting them. ICE and CBP must leave Minnesota immediately. Kristi Noem must be impeached. Enough.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

The Republicans are the modern equivalent of the Nazi Party. That is not hyperbole. I don't expect Democrats to go that far in their public statements, but they at least have to stop making appeals to the madman in charge and instead lay the blame at the feet of his enablers.

Also, you don’t need to share gore! You don’t need to watch gore! Bearing witness means bearing witness to INFORMATION not trauma porn! You do not need to traumatize yourself and send yourself into a panic spiral! You need to get organized and focused!

Tomorrow's front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune. 👀

Please know that all of the institutional protections that help prevent holding police officers accountable for violence and killing are now being used to help prevent holding ICE accountable for violence and killing.

My hot take is that at minimum a domestic violence conviction should carry a lot more of the shame and restrictions of a sex offender; it should ban you nationally from gun ownership, jobs in law enforcement, schools, pretty much any public sector work. It’s our clearest red flag for future violence

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

Be sure to watch to the end

Let me be clear: I cannot vote for legislation that gives ICE even more funding to terrorize our communities. Not after 2025 was the deadliest year on record to be in ICE custody in two decades. Not after they killed a mom in cold blood with zero accountability.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

Mortality rates: Mifepristone: 0.65/100,000 Penicillin 2/100K Viagra 4/100K Pregnancy in the US: 22/100,000 (some states see rates >60/100K) More people have died in ICE detention centers already in 2026 than will die from mifepristone all year. These politicians are extremely dangerous to women.

This whole premise that impeachment is unpopular or risks backlash or rallies his base is a baseless assumption with no hard evidence to back it up and a fair amount pointing in the opposite direction. If anything, support for it doesn't meaningfully diverge from his disapproval ratings.

I present to you, the Swedish Armed Forces Pride campaign.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

What an awful organization.

currently at the bar at my husband’s restaurant finishing a nice light dinner and a couple of drinks, and there are a lot of people here eating and having a nice time, and that pleases me, but what pleases me most are the wine lesbians at the bar who just kissed. I assume bc of wine. and boobs

I just voted AGAINST giving ICE and Border Patrol even more money in the Homeland Security Funding bill. Kristi Noem and her band of goons are out of control and are making us less safe. @housedemocrats.bsky.social fought for real reforms, but Republicans rejected them.

I'll say yet again: Trump & his party do something virtually every day that constitutes a more violent & alarming suppression of speech than anything that happened during the entire alleged tyranny of woke. Every day. Yet the entire Free Spech army has just vanished into mist.
