Ironic isn’t it? Had an ICE thug been hurt at the very same location 5 minutes earlier, Alex would have dropped everything to save his life. But 5 minutes later….

Your reminder that Trump is explicitly named as having participated in raping someone in the Epstein files.

Glenn Close, "I have watched our democracy being systematically disemboweled and torn apart along with the institutions" "I am outraged and sickened by what is happening under the Trump regime" "Mark my words, there will be hell to pay"

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days. You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Dublin City Council (for whole city of Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪) has stopped using X Twitter and moved to BlueSky @dubcitycouncil.bsky.social

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

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"

I guess this is Minnesota now in 2026 - they committed the crime of living in a Democratic state and not being the right colour?

Singer & songwriter Alicia Keys was born #OTD in 1981. Her many #music awards include 17 Grammys. In 2003, she co-founded Keep A Child Alive (KCA), a non-profit focused on changing the world, one child at a time with focus areas ranging from #education to #climate. keepachildalive.org

“Please get the truth out about our son.” Read and share the statement from the parents of Alex Pretti, the VA ICU nurse who was shot and killed by border patrol.

So, what can we do about this mess?

Farage turned down EU funding for UK foodbanks, whilst happily drawing his salary for being an MEP.

Twenty years ago, a movie that depicted America as an authoritarian state with government-employed thugs roaming the streets killing citizens and a President trying to destroy NATO would have seemed ridiculously far-fetched.

Klobuchar: "Somehow 50,000 peaceful protesters in 10 below weather were able to march without any problems, and then the next day half a dozen ICE and CBP agents couldn't handle a guy with a cell phone taking video of them and shot him. I think it's pretty obvious what's going on here."

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."

The shooting of Alex Pretti was (US) state sanctioned murder and has been followed up by attempts to destroy evidence and stop local police (and even the FBI) from investigating. Minnesota police are trying to counter the lies and illegality. Terrifying open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

I’m a Manc. Anyone in the Gorton and Denton constituency, please do not vote Reform. Save our city from turning into a Minnesota because the closer Reform gets to Westminster, the closer we get to having our friends shot in the streets.

Labour have blown it. This is it. Time to take on Reform. Manchesters first Green MP is coming. Join us to help get them elected on Saturday. actionnetwork.org/events/a-gre...

Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.

BREAKING: Exclusive poll: Let Burnham stand, voters say Over half of voters in Manchester think Labour is wrong to block him www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

Like most here, I am horrified and heartbroken over what has happened in Minneapolis with the death of yet another brave citizen in the fight against ICE abuses. No one should have to pay that price for our freedom, and no family should have to hear that terrible news.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

Reminding you all that Nigel Farage has proudly claimed he is going to be setting up a British version of ICE here in the UK to terrorise us just like American ICE if he ever becomes PM. He has openly said he wants to deport legal migrants.

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

“Shot dead” is passive. “murdered” names the actor. Words matter, especially when the state is pulling the trigger.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV's experts explained that Moscow is trying to trick Trump into unfreezing Russia's assets, to be used for reconstruction on the territories they want to take from Ukraine. They've admitted there is no chance of a peace deal. youtube.com/watch?v=aOx_...

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

Minnesota’s justice system will have the last word.

I have to admit that back in 2016 when Cameron announced that disastrous Brexit opinion poll that I didn't think that the end of the Tories *and* Labour would happen quite so quickly. Tories defecting to Reform and Labour seemingly utterly hooked on Tory Brexit do much that they can't quit it.

Labour is now locked into Starmer's policy agenda of brexit, social conservatism, anti-immigration, pro-Trump and anti-Palestine. They had a chance to reconsider and decided to stick with the failed status quo. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

Vote Lib Dem at the locals if you want this madness to end. (If you vote Labour / Tory / Reform, you're prolonging the misery)

Now is the moment to be clear-eyed about the threats facing Britain. Putin is waging war in Europe, while Trump undermines the alliances that keep us safe. Defence Bonds would help protect our country and let people invest in Britain’s security.

Guys, you have until 5PM today to apply to be the Reform candidate for Gorton and Denton. There's a fee of £125. Go on, you know you want to😂

Zack Polanski: “Brexit has been a catastrophe: economically, socially, culturally and around the arts. It made absolutely no sense in the first place. Even with people who voted for Brexit, polling shows again and again that they now regret that decision or they can’t see a single real benefit.” 🇬🇧🇪🇺

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

Thanks Chris, “The Brexiter insistence that the EU was irrelevant to UK security, which they claimed was entirely catered for by a US-led NATO, which was always ill-informed, is now exposed as the greatest strategic miscalculation in modern British history”

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Alex Pretti was a great American. The people defending his killers are not.

So far in Minnesota They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school. Then Ice kidnapped a five year old. Then ice kidnapped a two year old Then border patrol murdered Va nurse. Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

The same people who said that the mass murder of children in schools was a sad but necessary price to enable citizens to bear arms and oppose tyranny are now saying that if you carry a gun it’s your fault if you’re murdered.

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."

John Mitnick, who served as General Counsel for the Department of Homeland Security in Trump’s first term: “I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty. “Impeach and remove Trump—now.”

Prediction for local elections. Gorton winner : A.Burnham (Green)

It's a good job Nigel Farage didn't inadvertently overclaim a fiver on Universal Credit, because he'd really be in trouble then

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.
