Not to mention that the gun he appears to be sporting is oddly shaped like a smartphone.

Dumb ass Ted Cruz falls for another fake deceptive post from a random account. Again.

Of course, Trump and Republicans doing what they always do. Same tired playbook. Blaming Democrats, the victim, and the media for another Border Patrol atrocity. They will never accept responsibility for anything and will do everything they can to distract and deflect.

I have a lot of respect for people who work at the VA and I’m sorry they have to serve during this dickhead’s tenure.

We got no investigation whatsoever for Renee Good. Todd Blanche said he watched the video and there was no need. Now we will get a rigged investigation on Pretti with DHS investigating itself to determine if DHS did anything wrong, and zero oversight from the Republican Congress.

We get that Republicans want to argue that “you shouldn’t” protest or film agents, or that it’s “a bad idea.” But it’s a right. That means you don’t get to decide whether someone gets to do it if that’s how they choose to protest. It also means agents can’t kill people who do.

A standing reminder: a small handful of Republicans in Congress could stop this chaos tomorrow. They simply choose not to.

These are all valid points—including Trump's

“They are using the mechanism of armed officers with masks who are killing citizens to create disruption so they can use more force to eliminate the possibility they could be removed from office and suffer criminal sanctions for the crimes they are now committing”

Perfectly stated by President @billclinton.bsky.social. "If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back. "It is up to all of us who believe in the promise of American democracy to stand up, speak out, and show that our nation still belongs to We the People."

"This is a criminal president and a criminal administration. This is straight-out fascism. This is about ending democracy. These people are destroying the Constitution. And if we say it in words that are any less blunt, we are not telling the truth." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

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

Does it seem the draft dodging Trump gets high on violence and the power congress and scotus have given him❓

At least we know that while federal agents are killing people for using cell phones and the country is going to shit, Trump was working hard playing golf, hosting a screening for Melania’s movie, and rage-posting about his ballroom.

So future DemocratIc Administrations can use the same interpretation of the Second Amendment that Republicans are using over the last 24 hours? Can we quote you? Cite you in legal briefs?

This is what the president was doing last night while all the insanity was happening in MN.

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

From NYT frame-by-frame analysis. They fired 6 more rounds after these initial shots.

Ted Cruz is privately predicting Trump's collapse while publicly stapled to his ankle like a loyalty bracelet.

We live in a world where the same people who believe a man built a boat big enough for every animal don't believe in climate science because it’s “unproven.”

I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say "The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the fuck they want and make shit up as they go along."

I agree with Ted and look forward to actively participating.

How is it that one of the most divisive individuals ever to occupy the Oval Office has somehow managed to unite the entire world against us?

🐂💩 Deputy White House chief of staff Stephen Miller referred to Pretti in social media posts as an “assassin” and “domestic terrorist.” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Pretti showed up to “impede a law enforcement operation.” 🤬What was this guy⁉️

“Why would you bring a gun to….” Is irrelevant under the second amendment

I don’t see too many people talking about what an incredible accomplishment it was for MN officials and lawyers to get those affidavits and that motion written and filed and to get a Trump appointed judge to issue a TRO against the feds to stop them from destroying evidence - all in the same day.

Even the peach-tree dish / Jewish space laser lady saw what we all saw.

This is batshit crazy. She’s nuts. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump is now complaining that he’s being sued to stop construction of his ballroom.

On both the Renee Good and Alex Pretti situations: If the federal agents ever had to go under oath in front of jury questioned by a real lawyers about what they did they would get absolutely destroyed. They are only getting away with this because the govt won’t allow that.

Filming the police is not obstruction. Filming the police is not resisting. Refusing to stop filming police is not resisting. Holding onto your phone is not resisting. Federal agents under this admin have zero respect for rights and liberties.

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."

I felt like a 30 year old when I woke up this morning but unfortunately there wasn’t one around.

A former sniper reviews ICE shooting video to reveal that an ICE-hole disarmed the victim and then accidentally discharged the weapon, causing the rest of these untrained, dumbasses to start pumping bullets into the unarmed victim on the ground! #Resist #FuckICE #Pinks #ProudBlue #AlexPretti

Don’t give up. Just don’t. #Resist ✊🏾

I will keep repeating this until everyone gets it: The Trump regime could literally kill your family for no reason and Trump, the GOP and right wing media will defend their murder. This is what a fascist regime looks like. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-regi...

WELKER: When will all Epstein files be released? BLANCHE: Look, we've been working literally 7 days a week to go through them, but there is nothing more important than protecting the victims. We will not rush that process. WELKER: How soon? BLANCHE: I'm not going to create an artificial deadline

You gotta think Stephen Miller wrote this one. It's inexpressibly evil—but it's in English.

Trump needs to go. He needs to be impeached and removed. Now.

Bondi's letter—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after: They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.

Voting in the midterms begins in 51 days.

What kind of person applauds a death?

If you’re enforcing the law but hiding your face, you already know what you’re doing won’t survive scrutiny.
