HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd is gathered in freezing temperatures outside ICE headquarters in DC to demand ICE OUT OF ALL COMMUNITIES NOW.

Seen Krisine Noem called a 'hooker' more than twice tonight already. Absolutely not fair. Sex workers are sweet people more often than not, unlike that vile fascist.

They arrest people in the restaurants where they eat, and in the hotels where they stay.

today the fascists killed a nurse who did good work for the people in his care

NEW: Another declaration you have to read! Alex Pretti was shot near the apartment of a doctor, who saw the shooting occur and rushed to provide emergency aid as he lay dying on the street. They describe what they saw: "The victim had at least three bullet holes in his back."

Shorter NRA: Second amendment rights are only for Republicans.

ICE pulls over Texas Monthly’s senior taco editor while reporting in West Texas www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-n...

There has to be a word beyond outrage for when this loathsome, lying pack of slovenly frauds uses a Web 2.0 version of the Klan to publicly butcher the best humanity has to offer and then dare you to question their right to do it and laugh in your face about it

Fight the good fight.

Feels like it should be a pretty big deal that a Trump supporter physically assaulted a Democratic congressman

This woman was five feet from Pretti when he was shot, she's scared to go home because of what they'll do when they find her, and, despite this, she is determined to bear witness. She is the best of us. There is hope as long as there are Americans like her x.com/robfardon/st...

"I insisted that the agents let me assess him. Normally, I would not have been so persistent, but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him."

Defendants in the ongoing DOJ voter rolls litigation (including MN as such plus some already granted intervenors) should file this letter immediately along with a motion for applicable sanctions and also asking for a criminal referral.

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

Tim Cook and Andy Jassy—and the rest—are accommodating an authoritarian who is presiding over a secret police force killing American citizens. The blood of Renee Good and Alex Pretti is on the hands of those who enable Trump. Hope they like the movie.

Rick speaking like this should be noted. This is not how he posts.

By Saturday afternoon, some Trump admin. personnel had already begun scouring the internet and other resources trying to find information on Alex Pretti, including social media posts, that could tie him to what Team Trump call “extremists,” two sources familiar with the matter tell @zeteo.com …

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

wrote about the camps for my newsletter this weekend www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/o...

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity

Leading up to that.. Eric Lee Atty Kids screaming "Let us out! Let us out!"

"There are more of us than there are of them" is generally true under any government, but it is especially true in a country where the vast majority of police are state/local beyond federal commandeering, and federal agencies are built for elite specialization, not mass manpower occupying streets.

NEW: Within minutes of Alex Pretti being shot and killed, the Trump administration began rewriting the narrative, labelling the victim as a "lunatic" and a "terrorist" contradicting all available evidence www.wired.com/story/the-in...

The House moved from a strong committee chair system to a caucus system so the party and its leaders could impose policy uniformity on key issues. Cuellar is ranking member on the approps committee overseeing ICE and he voted to fund them. Why are Dems keeping him in that job?

Democratic members of Congress are not bound by oaths to protect sources/congregants/patients like journalists, priests, and doctors are. If your GOP colleagues are saying privately that they decry what ICE or Trump is doing, time to name names.

Hey CNN, this far into the Trump admin, the fact that you lead with the blatantly false claims made by the administration is a *you* problem. If you refuse to do actual journalism, and only want to be a mouthpiece of the state, just say so and stop pretending to be journalists.

It's a good day to stop using Hootsuite and tell them why.

I think our constitutional order collapsed the day the supreme court handed down their execrable, lawless immunity opinion. What we're seeing now is just the logical working out of the violent authoritarian state that the supreme court legalized.

Beyond the obvious need for tribunals for the crimes Noem and others have committed and enabled, bringing shame back seems fundamental to the enterprise of rebuilding this country. No society can survive without a general understanding that this kind of shameless lying is unacceptable.

This is Piper’s weather! It’s 21° out and feels like 7°. As far as she is concerned, the colder the better!

There's a third video I just watched and it just confirms everything. He died trying to help people being brutalized by agents. His response to them shoving two women was to a) help the women and b) put himself between them and the agents WITH HIS HANDS UP. At no point does he reach for his gun.

The reporting I've seen from @startribune.com over the last few days is a great endorsement of the need for quality local journalism, which is suffering from fiscal setbacks across the country.

People should not have to be perfect victims to not be murdered by the state or by a racist game show host and his lawless den of jackals and elite pedophile cover up conspiracists, but still HOLY SHIT MAN

“Hundreds of immigrant mothers” in Texas concentration camp uprising

At a rally in Union Square right now, Council member @chiosse.bsky.social tells the crowd, “We certainly need to abolish ICE, but that’s not enough—we need Nuremberg trials.”

this is shit they never want you to see.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

Both the ones here and the multiple third-country torture camps they're shipping people to. Between what's almost certainly underreported in the domestic ones they're running, plus third countries, plus the boat strikes, it is fairly likely they have already murdered into the hundreds of people.

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.

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.

The CBP agent pushes a woman onto the ground and peppers sprays her, the man is trying to protect her from them and help her up, which they respond to by pepper spraying him, tackling him, and then shooting him from behind. It’s one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever seen happen in America

Masked ICE gestapo agents just murdered an ICU nurse after assaulting him, stealing the firearm he was lawfully carrying, spraying him with chemicals, then restraining him so they could shoot him point-blank. And the federal government's response is to shield the killers and justify the killing.

The term martyr means “witness.” The man was murdered for bearing witness, literally bearing it, not arms but a camera. Murdered for seeing.

And he didn’t. He tried to help a woman who’d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

There is a significant body of research about how playing Tetris and other flow-state inducing puzzle games after a trauma can minimize a lot of long term PTSD effects. If you watch a video of a murder please make that your next step

Good, the next thing that should end in the Senate is this presidency.
