Juan Sebastian Carvajal-Munoz, a Colombian civil engineer with a work visa was detained by ICE in Portland, ME. He earned a master’s degree from the University of Maine. Within 2 mins they smashed his car window, dragged him out and left the car there running. www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/m...

the people shooting people and the people being shot both have an equal responsibility to reduce gun violence

Hello I’m the ubermensch, my one weakness is whistles

Sewer socialism at its finest, love to see it popping right out of a history book into the present day

If you know anything about state prisons, this is the kind of thing to blow your mind. They are generally not the type of institutions to do something like this. But the Trump admin just keeps lying and lying and lying so they clearly felt they had to. mn.gov/doc/about/ne...

Things are so bad that the Minnesota prison system has had to launch a website specifically to combat DHS lies. The first major release from DOC officials suggests Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the Border Patrol operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

He’s not wrong. I wake up daily and make peace with the fact that it might be my last day on earth. The last day I hold my 4 year old daughter.

I spoke to a UU minister tonight who just got back from a week in Minneapolis. She said it’s so much worse than we’re seeing on social media.

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

there are days my heart breaks and reading that woman's statement, knowing she's terrified to go home, knowing we can't tell her that she's wrong to be terrified... I believe we are going to win. I will hate them forever for making us fight.

If he was arrested under Operation PARRIS that means he was a full-blown refugee with 100% lawful status, on a clear path directly to a green card and eventual citizenship. With Operation PARRIS DHS is arresting recently-arrived refugees and sending them to Texas to be interrogated and “re-vetted.”

They’re the tyrants they’ve been warning us about. It’s them.

Our teams are scouring the streets, offering shelter to homeless New Yorkers, and helping bring people inside. If you see anyone in need of help, please call 311 so our outreach teams can assist.

They put Geraldo Lunas Campos in a chokehold and compressed his chest until he stopped breathing. And then they lied through their Nazi teeth. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

If you love people, tell them that as well.

as a parent I cannot imagine how absolutely fucking heartbreaking and awful it must be to have to put out a statement like this because the federal government killed your son and is telling monstrous lies about him

I remember how well that worked for Philando Castile—in Minneapolis. www.cbs17.com/news/nationa...

yeah I gotta say, no one would be more surprised than me, but this is an uncharacteristically robust reply

security for protesters, right?

network activity is way up today, presumably driven by ICE shooting Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. this hasn't been showing up in Bluesky Trending Topics. that is not intentional, and we are still trying to debug why it hasn't.

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

It's also about convincing you that they impose reality and that they are the final arbiters of truth. Hence the importance of continuing to name reality and truth ourselves, at every single turn, with all that is available to us.

Every lie told by this regime, no matter how brazen, shocking, or dehumanizing, makes perfect sense when I think about their claim that immigrants were eating pets in Ohio. It's not about evidence or credibility, it's about pushing narratives to facilitate ethnic cleansing.

I agree that we can’t make Alex Pretti a Benedictine monk because that’s a trap, but we can talk about the good things we did because people will see and hear them and think “I do those things too”

If folks don't know what to do with their rage today, and they have cash, I suggest going to standwithminnesota.com and finding someone who needs help

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

To put a finer point on it: Republicans have embraced the “insurrectionist theory” of the Second Amendment—the notion that you have a constitutional right to stage an armed rebellion against the government if it becomes tyrannical. Now they’re lining up to say ICE can shoot any armed protester?

You: It can’t happen to me. The state: we looked into this white guy we killed and we do feel a need to bring up these parking tickets

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

the post about this on r/nba, which is an enormous forum that gets millions of visitors a week, is full of comments from people who have seen the videos about how this was “an execution” or “murder” in case you wonder how this is playing outside of here

Children, young woman with stuffed animals, VA nurse. These are the people we’re told are domestic terrorists. Anyone who believes this is a psychopath

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

He was legally observing He was helping other legal observers He was helping other potential victims He was not brandishing a gun May Alex Pretti’s memory be a blessing

No more business as usual. #AbolishICE

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

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.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

the angle from the lady in the pink coat is out and it is worse and you don’t need to make yourself watch it but it makes it absolutely stone cold clear that this was a summary execution for no reason

He was helping direct traffic when federal authorities approached him. Less than a minute later he was dead.

We are asking community to please submit any photo or video evidence here: hennepinprosecutor.evidence.com/axon/communi...

He was a nurse.

Yes.
