“You got signed judicial warrant to gain access to the scene and we’re still denied access by federal agents?” “Yes, that’s accurate.” We are so cooked 🇺🇸

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

Wolves have a moment of silence for Alex Pretti, after seven seconds of silence several fans yell "FUCK ICE"

Walz on Bondi's demands for voter rolls: "This is Donald Trump telling everybody that the election was rigged, who started this nightmare for America. Pro tip to the AG: There's two million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those."

Kash Patel today: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want." Really?

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Incredible turnout in Chi-town today protesting the murder of Alex Pretti. God love them! ❤️ #Chicago #AlexPretti #Fascism #ICE #Gestapo

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

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

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

All to please a wannabe king who is demented and thrives on violence.

Bookmark that Vice President and future presidential candidate JD Vance retweeted a post that said Alex Pretti was “an assassin who tried to murder federal agents.”

The letter is real. Here it is.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

Leaders of the so-called “pro-life, small government” party who relentlessly warn of tyranny are standing by as masked agents roam the country and brutalize its people. The hypocrisy isn’t surprising — but it’s staggering. Remember this.

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting. More accurate terms: - observers - witnesses - volunteers - neighbors - residents - people

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

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."

"You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple."

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

Worth noting that the @wsj.com has joined with the @nytimes.com and Bellingcat to say that ICE is lying in its description of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The video evidence more and more supports the view that this was a gratuitous execution. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

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."

Just want to point out that these Nazi chucklefucks being in town at the same time as the anti choice marches is NOT A COINCIDENCE. The Venn diagram is just a circle.

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.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

"Today we remember that freedom is not free" They blatantly murdered and are grossly defiling the memory of a true and literal patriot. None of these fasci goons have done or even imagined themselves as anything even remotely resembling the kind of patriot Alex Pretti was. #AlexPretti

A message from his parents.

Guys if you see observers thank them. There’s real stress and burnout in the ranks right now. People understand they are waking up every day to chase and monitor federal thugs who can execute them. But they keep doing it nonstop to protect their neighbors

This is the "gun" that Trump, Noem, Bovino, and every other administration official claims the victim was brandishing that justified him being pushed, tackled, shot, and killed. A phone.

The clearest view: they remove his holstered weapon from his back waistband, then execute him.

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

“Everyone should be allowed to carry a gun for their safety but the government can murder you in the street if you have a gun” is an incredible endpoint for the conservative moment

Wrong decision @hootsuite.com You're shameful. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art...

Local journalism matters.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

ROGAN: They said they released them, but what did they release? OTHER GUY: They're still not out yet. It feels like everything else has been drowned out by Somalians and the ICE shooting. It feels like Epstein is completely drowned out ROGAN: I think some of that is on purpose

The massive nonviolent citizen response to ICE operations in Minneapolis is the way forward. Violence is what the fascists want. And it is not who we are.

🚨"We wonder why people in the 1930s were quiet, we need to show we weren't quiet. History is gonna look back at all the people that didn't show up—their grandkids are gonna ask what were they doing! It's like -10 degrees and we're here!" -Minneapolis ICE protester. LIVE NOW⬇️

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

If you're following the unbuilding of CBS News, there's a development. @brianstelter.bsky.social says the Inside CECOT report is to air tonight, "according to sources at CBS." view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/176... This part interested me most: "The promised interview did not materialize."

Precisely.

I found this very interesting perspective thread on FB.
