In America, you have a Constitutional right to carry a gun. However, since we are a police state, the police can use your exercising that right as justification to kill you. Even if it never leaves its holster.

“The government has also argued that I must accept this as true because they said it, and they are the government…I respectfully suggest that the petition is frivolous.” The judge who wrote this is a Bush appointee and two-time Scalia clerk.

There is no circumstance in which I would vote to extend funding to an agency this out of control. Leadership at both DHS and ICE should be fired, and there needs to be massive reform to both. www.npr.org/2026/01/22/g...

These images. These quotes. Beautiful. “We decided it was now time to take a stand,” Mr. Anderson said. “It was time to boldly declare that enough is enough. We’re not going to take it anymore.” www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

Walz: "You kill a man, and then you just leave? You're law enforcement -- you just leave? Is there a single case in American history where you just, like, walk away and say, 'I guess that just happened and we're not gonna clean up our mess?'"

Seven people have already been injured as a result of a hostile attack on Kharkiv ⏺There's more bad news. Supersonic cruise missiles X-22 may soon start flying over Kyiv/the region: at least 2 Tu-22s are approaching the Bryansk region.

AOC: If you can keep people divided, then you can continue to loot the economy. They are they are trying to distract from the fact that prices have exploded, that people's health insurance is being stripped, $1 trillion out of health care to fund this violence.

⚡️Fire burns through oil depot in Russian city of Penza following Ukrainian drone strike. A fire broke out at an oil depot in the Russian city of Penza following a Ukrainian drone attack overnight on Jan. 23, Penza Oblast Governor Oleg Melnichenko reported.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

Every American has a right to free expression and is protected from excessive use of force by those sworn to protect and serve. The killing of a 37 year old ICU nurse for the Department of Veterans Affairs in Minnesota is heartbreaking and another sign that we are far off course.

If Cortez Masto won't vote for it, I think that means the DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the senate.

Literally all of this is a lie. We are about to find out who is state media, because they will be the ones to parrot a justification for state-sanctioned murder.

Clarissa explains it all to the DHS Instagram account

So where are all the 2A assholes now that another man was shot for legally wearing a holstered gun in an open carry state AFTER he was disarmed?

Feels like after Noem admitted to killing her own dog for its behavioral problems in her own book, thinking it showed her in a good light, the entire country should have realized this woman should never be in a position of power again.

‘Minnesota has had it’: New shooting sparks fury as Tim Walz issues fierce demand www.rawstory.com/ice-shooting... Trump loves the cruelty; he's wanted this since his threats to throw protestors out of his campaign rallies. He is a vile evil man who is destroyuing our country.

I've been informed that the man in this video is Matthew James Obadiah Allen, better known as Twin Cities hip hop artist Nur-D

Who in their right mind believes statements from the Department of Homeland Security? Who believes anything Kristi Noem or Stephen Miller or Trump might say about what has just happened in Minneapolis? They no longer have any credibility. That should be clear by now. They lie like they breathe.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

BREAKING: The man shot by federal agents in Minneapolis earlier today has died, a Minnesota official says.

Videos on social media that were verified by The New York Times appear to contradict the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, by federal agents in Minneapolis on Saturday morning. By Devon Lum and Haley Willis www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...

He was a nurse.

The Strib has identified him. Alex Pretti. Another 37-year-old executed for standing up for our immigrant neighbors. For shame. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Holy crap. This is the most damning video yet. It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face. Murder.

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

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.

Klobuchar: "It's not just Minneapolis and St Paul. It's the suburbs where kids have been lured in and abducted"

Noem: "This individual... committed an act of domestic terrorism." Alex Pretti was not a domestic terrorist. He was a nurse. And ICE officers murdered him, without any possible legal justification for doing so. The video evidence irrefutably demonstrates that.

Now Noem says: “This individual went and impeded their law enforcement operations...had a weapon on him, and multiple dozens of rounds of ammunition, wishing to inflict harm on these officers.” So “had a weapon on him”, not brandishing. Last time i checked they worked hard to make that a right.

Dr Assal Rad— "The article doesn’t mention the fact that Israel is still preventing aid."

We dont want Greenland as a state. We dont want to take over Venezuela. We want the Epstein files released. Everything! Victims as the only redaction. Now!!!

This is who the Whittier neighborhood in Minneapolis is named for

Another American citizen was brutally killed this morning by ICE. Alex Jeffrey Pretti was a nurse at VA working to help others. We need an independent and transparent investigation. Communities are being terrorized across our country. ICE needs to leave Minneapolis.

The Saint Paul City Council on Wednesday took a bold stand by unanimously calling on Governor Walz to issue a temporary eviction moratorium by executive order to protect families and workers whose lives have been disrupted by ICE activity.🧵 kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

Sunday’s Page One: 🇬🇧 @thesun.co.uk

AOC: "In directing this around Mayor Wray and Gov. Walz, claiming they are 'inciting,' Noem is equating disagreement with incitement ... she is laying the groundwork for the Insurrection Act ... they are taking issue with the people of Minnesota who have duly elected their own elected officials"

Remember, Tom Homan said ICE was going to keep killing people until everyone was nicer to ICE. www.techdirt.com/2026/01/12/t...

It is profoundly ironic that the whole stated purpose of mass gun ownership in the US - which carries it with the associated cost of frequent mass shootings, including in schools - is to protect against oppressive tyrannical government and yet...

Good Lord, the shooting victim was a registered nurse at the VA.

Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.

A few notes about the Whittier neighborhood in Minneapolis. Whittier is the most populous neighborhood in Minneapolis. 82% of households there rent. Whittier population is 14,483. The neighborhood is 52.8% non-Hispanic White, 23.3% Black, 13.6% Hispanic or Latino, 3.5% Asian, and 6.8% other.

Q: Five people also died in immigration detention so far this year. Why is immigration enforcement becoming so deadly under your tenure? NOEM: Immigration enforcement is exactly what the American people asked for

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."

Not a “paid protester.” Not an Antifa battalion commander. Not “bussed in from out of state.” A registered nurse at the VA who broke no laws and cared about humanity. Murdered by the Trump Administration.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

Q: Is DHS leading the investigation into the shooting? Will there be a criminal investigation? KRISTI NOEM: We are conducting this investigation just like we do all other officer involved shootings

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God. Thank God we have video. Because according to DHS, these 7 heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against him or something. It's nonsense, people. It is nonsense and it's lies."
