Stella Carlson - known as "Pink Jacket Lady" - is a hero! Anderson Cooper is gentle as she recounts how her phone & whistle don't feel like enough. And yet, with them, she created irrefutable evidence of Alex Pretti's murder. And now gives a sincere & articulate call for justice.

A federal judge has issued an order blocking the Trump administration from deporting Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old Minneapolis resident and Ecuadorian immigrant, and his father, who are both being detained in a Texas prison by immigration authorities.

"Police have made dozens of arrests after an anti-ICE protest broke out at a hotel in Manhattan on Tuesday evening, according to sources." People demanding that Hilton Hotels stop housing ICE. abc7ny.com/post/anti-ic...

"Proud Boys, stand back and stand by" And they did. They stood back and stood by. Now they're lobbing gas grenades at preschoolers and gunning down civilians in Minneapolis.

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition. We’ve also added a list of additional recommended reading:

Yes, the gun Alex Pretti carried was a Sig Sauer 320. No, it did not go off. No, he was not handling it. It was removed by a federal agent who shouted "GUN GUN GUN" as he walked away with the gun. It doesn't matter that it was a Sig. It matters that they shot him for daring to consider carrying it.

1) It didn't go off. 2) ICE has 320s. ICE has the 320 as their Duty pistol. They are officially contracted and supported through 2027. If killing someone for having a 320 was fine then every ICE agent would have already caught a bullet to the head. 3) You don't hate the modern Gestapo nearly enough.

When the NRA says it’s wrong…

To them, the second amendment only applies to Trump supporters.

From his parents: "I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting."

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

This just pissed me off even more than the re-handcuffing The notion that these motherfuckers were the ones showing grace, that the women should be appreciative and speak well of the agents, that substandard treatment is conditioned on the women's portraying then as benevolent Fuckin disgusting

Clergy standing with the oppressed, not the oppressors, as they should do. 'Civil disobedience from Minnesota faith leaders resulted in the arrests of about 100 clergy who engaged in civil disobedience by blocking a key road at the International Airport' inthesetimes.com/article/minn...

NEW: 'ICE Out of Minnesota' Day Leads to ~100 Arrests at Airport and Whipple Building The high temps reached -11°F during 'ICE Out of Minnesota' day. Clergy led a protest at the Airport, ~100 were arrested. Roads to the Whipple Building were blockaded & ice balls were thrown at federal vehicles.

Reminder! 💚✊

Trump is threatening to veto a bill that would extend enhanced ACA premium tax credits, even though recent polling shows broad, bipartisan public support for renewing the subsidies to keep insurance affordable.

Top DOJ officials are reportedly pushing to investigate Renee Good’s grieving widow instead of probing the ICE agent who killed Good, prompting a wave of resignations in protest over the department’s priorities.

Also, very important reminder in hopes the context here doesn't escape us:

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

“It was a massacre against defenseless people,” a mother of three said of the US operation to abduct Maduro.

"And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Police found a man and woman with apparent gunshot wounds. Emergency responders transported both people to the hospital and their condition is unknown, according to police. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/2026/01/08/f...

Here comes more normalization.

Here's a video of ICE agents deploying riot munitions against high schoolers during a raid. How is it possible to defend these people still? Who looks at this and wants more of it in their country?

Renee Nicole Good. Not a domestic terrorist. Photo from The Minnesota Star-Tribune.

ICE murdered a woman in Minneapolis and immediately turned around and blamed her for her own murder. Nobody is going to be punished for this and our neighbors are being rounded up into camps already. You do not hate the modern Gestapo enough. Pride is and always will be a fucking riot, y'all.

Kristi Noem just called the victim a domestic terrorist. If you don't think ICE should be allowed to murder you when you leave instead of letting them drag you out of your vehicle without cause, you're a terrorist and this government wants to shoot you in the face if you'd just give them an excuse.

Democrats aren't in it to win. Or for justice. Most simply want their pay check, pension, and stock gains. People with a lot to lose won't risk it all to fight for others.

As Trump escalates imperial aggression in Venezuela, corporate outlets are normalizing an illegal war, showcasing fascism unbound — armed with U.S. military power and shielded by obedient, complicit media narratives.
