The next Quag watch?

Monsters. They will burn in hell.

This hit so fucking hard today.

GET THE FUCK IN!!!!! #ncfc

ALI FUCKING AHMED

SLIMAAAAAAAAAANEEEEEEEEE What a player he's proving to be... #ncfc

That was absolutely vicious from Asante. Should be retrospectively banned for it. #ncfc

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

Repost endlessly

Alex Pretti's gun is like Renee Good's car: irrelevant to the central fact that they were murdered by ICE. ICE wants us to debate whether Pretti should have been carrying because that avoids the central fact. Pro-carry, anti-carry--that has as much to do w/ his murder as his fashion choices. Zero.

Worth noting that the @wsj.com has joined with the @nytimes.com and Bellingcat to say that ICE is lying in its description of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The video evidence more and more supports the view that this was a gratuitous execution. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

The shamelessness is the point. We know she's lying. She knows she's lying. If she were trying to convince the public, that would be admitting that public opinion matters. This is a performance of dominance. This is "truth is what we say it is." This is "you'll believe what we tell you."

WOW.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Yeah all of this, re: Mitnick. Was opposite sides during Bush but needed his knowledge of agencies and GOP institutional thinking for a project. He helped but wouldn't be public. He really doesn't live for limelight.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

holy crap youtube.com/shorts/hyqtA...

Good: Dude, I’m not mad at you. Pretti: Are you okay? Final words before being executed by #ICE. Remind me, who exactly are the terrorists?

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

Correct

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” -Wilhoit's Law

The Republican position now appears to be that you have a constitutional right to openly carry a gun in public, unless you do so while expressing a view that the government dislikes, in which case the secret police can shoot you to death on the spot.

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, licensed nurse

Person shot by ICE appeared to be brandishing a phone.

Major content warning on this. He was directing traffic, and they attacked him and executed him. This is a point blank video. He did NOTHING wrong.

Murder. Cold blooded fucking murder.

"The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses." Properly disposing of this hexavalent chromium costs millions. Dumping it in the river is free. Therefore, EPA says do the latter. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...

There is evil and then there is this

Fucking insane.

The US has officially terminated its partnership with the World Health Organization.

This comes just after the president publicly demanded that ICE should start showing the public how terrible the people are who they're grabbing and arresting. In this case, his name is Liam. He's five years old. www.kare11.com/article/news...

A joke for the history buffs.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

So, Slimane and Ali are on the same wavelength, eh? Love it. #ncfc

Letter in Times today

State terrorism.

This.

These inhumane, inhuman bastards. I hope they come to understand and feel the pain and suffering they are causing. And I hope it breaks them.

What the Trump administration is doing, what Stephen Miller has schemed his whole sad, miserable, pathetic life for & Noem is gleefully implementing because she thinks it'll get her elected president in 2028, is state terror. 6/

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder. " Federal courts in Alabama are using a law last applied during the U.S. internment [incarceration] of people of Japanese descent during World War II to charge immigrants who don’t register themselves..." www.al.com/news/2026/01...

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen
