The movement now has its own “Ohio” thanks to Bruce Springsteen‘s “Streets of Minneapolis”: youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

We are being trained to accept things that would have been unthinkable a few years ago. Federal force used casually & defended reflexively. Legal limits dismissed as technicalities. Open talk of dictatorship reframed as realism. None of this is normal. And none of it is accidental. -- George Conway

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Ghislaine Maxwell filed a petition claiming there are 29 individuals — four alleged co-conspirators and 25 men who reached secret civil settlements connected to Epstein’s abuse — whose names remain hidden and protected from public disclosure by the DOJ. www.thedailybeast.com//ghislaine-m...

What people still fail to see is that if they’ll do it to Alex Pretti, they’ll do it to you. He was a young white American man—the most protected group in this country. That didn’t save him.

I don't know how many times we will be told by the legacy media that Trump is moderating or backing off only to then see he is worse than ever. He is an authoritarian. He enjoys the cruelty. And the first thing he had Pam Bondi do after the shooting was to try to leverage it to get the voter files.

Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop? www.fox4news.com/news/48-texa...

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Fuck Face's picture should be on The National Sex Offender website until the Epstein files are released proving otherwise.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I just heard the mouthpiece Leavitt say that the pedo doesn't want to see Americans killed. Well excuse the f@ck out of me, but I wouldn't have a single problem if the pedophile himself were, in fact I would celebrate.

Ahem

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Oregon said Attorney General Pam Bondi’s recent letter to Minnesota reinforced unease about how the Justice Department is wielding its authority in its nationwide push for state voter rolls, suggesting the administration’s campaign may be driven by improper motives.

America, we have reached a moment when silence is no longer acceptable. Heavily armed forces—funded and directed by the Republican Party—are attacking and killing American citizens. Trump and his administration must be removed from power immediately. Impeachment cannot wait.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this. Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Bovino: “ICE are the victims”

Believe me, if I had the way, means and ability, I would end this fucking nightmare now.

Trump is either leaving office peacefully, or he's going to be forcefully removed. The U.S. Armed Forces have a choice: Either support the American people and the constitution — or a fascist authoritarian regime that is a facsimile of Hitler's Third Reich.

If the United States Government considered Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist, then I am undoubtedly one too.✊

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

🔥 “This started as a pretext about immigration and fraud… it’s WELL beyond that now. It’s into your 2nd/4th/6th Amendments… We’re performing CPR on what may already be a corpse called the Constitution… Wake up. This isn’t just Minneapolis. It’s ALL of us.” (H/T @allenanalysis.bsky.social )

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

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."

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Trump confirms he will not attend Super Bowl because of the music acts.. He must be mistaking the loud and sustained booing as a song?

You can see pretti’s hands under the pile all the way up to where gray jacket guy takes the gun. Pretti clearly never pulled it out.

Less than one minute later.

"And stop referring to these people as law enforcement. They are not law enforcement." -Governor Tim Walz

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

Walz: Minnesotans are witnessing, and we're creating a log of evidence for the future prosecution of ice agents and officials responsible for this.

They say “where’s the gun?” — After the shots Because they don’t realize one of them had already taken it — before the shots

Walz: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this. As I told the white house in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

Breaking NYT: The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

Reminder: The Epstein files aren’t delayed. A law is being broken. We’re still missing 99%.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

So the right hand is bruised from shaking hands and the left hand is bruised from hitting it on a desk. Got it.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment. That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant. Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

Ted Lieu opens by reminding us that Jim Jordan still hasn’t complied with his subpoena.

AOC: This is quite a bit of market concentration. Agreed? CVS HEALTH CHAIR DAVID JOYNER: No. I'd suggest it's a model that works well for the consumer AOC: It works well for CVS. Health insurance gets a cut, pharmacy benefit manager gets one, drug manufacturer gets one, & the patient gets screwed

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is sworn in: “I love my country.” “I am not a politician & I hold no partisan loyalties. My career has been dedicated to serving our country by upholding the rule of law.” “My approach has always been the same: follow the facts & the law, without fear or favor.”

Jim Jordan has got his panties in a wad knowing he is unable to fluster Jack Smith. In fact his voice rises two or three octaves when questioning or in between Republican members badgering him.
