The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

This morning at the VA hospital where Alex Pretti worked as an ICU nurse, they remembered and honored their colleague and friend. [via Alex Pretti’s CRNA colleague Garrett Peterson @garrettcrna]

BTW

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

from the Mall of America: “Several off- duty ICE agents eating at Hooters. Vehicle is parked in the parking ramp outside of Hooters”

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month. Statement from Standing Rock:

www.ms.now/news/pentago... I did not know that Minnesota is a foreign state that poses an imminent threat to the security of the US🙄. I want the world to see this in order to understand the abuses of this regime.

🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: This week alone, the Russians have launched more than 1,700 attack drones, over 1,380 guided aerial bombs, and 69 missiles of various types. Every massive attack by Russia can become devastating. That is why missiles for air defense systems are needed every day.

Hey NRA, are you good with this? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Either we're the UNITED STATES of AMERICA or not. Pick a side.

Seems Gov Abbott was talking out of his ass when he said the power grid in Texas would hold. . . people are already in the dark and the power companies are warning folks to expect more outages

NEW: this is how the US press would report on this if it was happening in a ‘shithole country’. It’s an execution. But it also reveals how weak Trump really is open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

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.

#Florida man has his mind on his money & his money on his mind...and nothing else.

And now, the good though trivial news we need

"I want to root for someone who will win a medal in figure skating and tell me that the only ice that is valid is the one you are skating on." "Hold a gold medal up and say "Fuck ICE." That's important right now."

They are trying to remove this PICTURE of an execution! DO. NOT. LET. THEM.

And on the other danger front:

Good morning Shell and friends. Absolutely terrible and we the people better be getting to the breaking point on this. This insanity must stop now. Every one of them should be impeached and thrown in jail. All ice members need to remember what happened to hitler's SS.

Remove them to Palm Beach FL

Ever notice how whenever an ICE or CBP agent murders a civilian, the @homelandgov.bsky.social immediate excuse is "they were in fear for their lives". Apparently fearfulness and cowardice are qualifications to work in federal law enforcement in Noem's department.

The Trump bullshit at Davos made me realize that I need to post this again. AND we're still waiting for the Epstein files.

via @ararubyan.bsky.social an insightful must read, especially in light of the fact that Trump is fundraising off of these violent urban raids in blue cities

Low life, scum, sewage...there are no words that really accurately describe these people meidasnews.com/news/trump-v...

Explosive Medical Details DESTROY TRUMP NARRATIVE Over ICE MURDER

The hotel staffs should do a mini walk out - refuse to housekeep the agents rooms, bathrooms, etc. Let the pigs live in their own filth.

Yes it's the tipping point...but not for @schumer.senate.gov or @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social or the @democrats.senate.gov or the @housedemocrats.bsky.social. Americans who support our democracy, our Constitution, have NO representation in Congress.

bsky.app/profile/ezra... Tell Hakeem Jeffries to go fuck himself. He is a Republican in sheep's clothing. We are SICK of TURNCOATS. FUCK OFF JEFFRIES. YOU ARE A DISGRACE LIKE MANCHIN WAS.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.

Putin's helping Trump

extortion. blackmail.

The silence in the nation is overwhelming

ICE and Trump can count on @fetterman.senate.gov to vote in their favor and against American citizens every. single. time.

Seven House Democrats voted YES to FUND ICE for another year! Henry Cuellar - Texas Vicente Gonzalez - Texas Jared Golden - Maine Marie G. Perez - Washington state Don Davis - North Carolina Laura Gillen - New York Tom Suozzi - New York Rep. Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, voted NO.
