This is the Orban playbook. Friends and family of the regime take over the media so coverage, and especially future elections, are free but not fair.

I absolutely love snark. It's very Midwestern.

So US National Intelligence agencies are collecting on US citizens domestically? Is that what I'm to infer from this?

Confronted Congressman Tom Suozzi, one of seven Democrats casting the decisive votes to increase ICE funding by $10,000,000,000.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?... This is what I dont get: why hasn't there been tons of artists flooding to Minneapolis to play shows to rally support? I've only seen Trampled by Turtles (they sold out within hours) and Bruce, who isn't even playing here?

If he is indeed carrying here, that's not dangerous enough for them to even detain him. But then 11 days later, it's enough to kill him?? Fucking ass holes

REAKING: A federal judge in Minnesota has barred the Trump administration from arresting / detaining the state's 5,600 refugees while they await lawful permanent resident status. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

You see ICU Nurse Alex Pretti assisting veterans learning to walk again. Donald Trump sees a domestic terrorist and suckers and losers.

I don't even know where to start with the illegal...The Executive does not have the constitutional power to raise revenue. The Executive does not have the constitutional power to make decisions about expenditures. The Executive does not have the power to privatize the functions of the US Treasury...

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Ecuador’s minister of foreign affairs has filed a protest with the U.S. Embassy after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents tried to enter the Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis without permission Tuesday.

My report from Minneapolis, about the things you'll never see. newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Though the other mutuals liking me is suspect. I think my moots are just waiting for someone else to take the first plunge.

Eighty-one years ago today, over 7,000 prisoners of the German Nazi camp #Auschwitz, including some 700 children, were liberated by the soldiers of the Soviet Army. 1,689 days of murder, pain, suffering, and humiliation were over. Today, we all remember. We must keep remembering.

Ok this is funny

This hit so fucking hard today.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

This website rocks! annas-archive.li

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan. Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

‘The people are being charged with keeping the peace, asked to stand firm against the federal agents who are disrupting it. This is a sick form of double taxation — your paycheck gets docked so that a guy in a mask can beat you up while you try to calm him down.’

Whomever thought of this is genius. Promote ahead of peers!

“You got signed judicial warrant to gain access to the scene and we’re still denied access by federal agents?” “Yes, that’s accurate.” We are so cooked 🇺🇸

Federal agents in Minneapolis wrestled Alex Pretti to the ground and secured the handgun he was carrying moments before shooting him multiple times, according to a Washington Post analysis of video footage. Read more: https://wapo.st/4qGOx8M

“For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us:” “For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:” United States Declaration of Independence

Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

“It’s like call of duty! So cool huh?” Trump’s goons treat shooting at and tear gassing protestors like a video game, caught on national TV on a hot mic One even clapped after Alex Pretti was killed abolish ICE

Defenceless under the night Our world in stupor lies; Yet, dotted everywhere, Ironic points of light Flash out wherever the Just Exchange their messages: May I, composed like them Of Eros and of dust, Beleaguered by the same Negation and despair, Show an affirming flame. — W.H. Auden, Sept. 1, 1939

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

This has not what I'd expect from a FIFA Peace Prize winner

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Arrest everyone. Let the Law sort them out.

Remember him for this, and not for how he died. www.instagram.com/reel/DT6EB8v...

The whole interview is worth it

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.

Yes - they all know this could happen and they do it anyway. The reason it’s so unambiguous what happened is that the call had gone out and many people instantly rushed to the scene. Running towards danger. Heroes

My friends and countrymen and women, nonviolence works. It is working. Encourage others to keep the faith. The admin has no other option but to escalate, to kill more. But they'll lose because it is through nonviolence that we'll win over the rest of America. And that is what we're fighting for.

Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win

MS NOW: "I'm just getting something handed to me -- a statement from DHS -- that it will investigate the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old protester by its officers rather than the FBI. So they're gonna be investigating that which they already issued a summary about. It would seem like a closed book."

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

NRA gonna be like "we're the National Rifle Association, and we fully support the 2A rights of the federal agents to bear arms, even against US citizens."

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

Viewer caution: this video from MPR is very clear and provides a good angle of the shooting. www.facebook.com/share/v/1DGJ...

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

Per this report ICE has detained several witnesses
