We‘ve lost our way as a nation.

"Alex was murdered while he was helping."

I thought murdering puppies was the worst thing she would ever do but it turns out that was just a warm up act. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and Minneapolis resident, was murdered by ICE today. He was a lawful gun owner. Our government saw his Second Amendment right as a threat and executed him in the streets.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a nurse, was legally filming ICE when he objected to them shoving a woman. They rushed him, beat him, and killed him.

ENOUGH!

ANOTHER ANGLE: the original video was deleted but I screen capped it. Here it is.

Murder by numbers. #fdt #FuckICE

The man murdered by ICE in Minneapolis, Minnesota while he bravely shielded women from being brutally attacked by Trump regime thugs has been identified as Alex Pretti. He was a US citizen, a registered nurse, an athlete, a son, a brother, and a hero. The regime murdered him. #3E #GoodVsEvil

Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."

Another murder. #FuckICE #fdt

BREAKING: Thousands of protesters show up to protest against Donald Trump near the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. People all around the world really hate Donald Trump. I hope they realize that most Americans hate him too.

"The goalkeeper told me I'm an illegal immigrant even though I was born in America, and he said Trump was gonna get me and send me back. It makes me really sad." 💔

Yet again @anderspucknielsen.dk hits the nail on the head, this time with his explanation on how Trump's obsession with Greenland is equal parts strategy, narcissism and brain numbing stupidity.

Bahahaha 🤭👇🤣

NYT video analysis is pretty definitive. He was out of the path of the vehicle when he fired, the tires were clearly turned to the right, and the President and others are relying on the poorest quality clip to argue he was struck by the vehicle. He wasn’t

🤯🤯🤯🤯

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

It’s always “protect the children” Until it’s a black child Until it’s a brown child Until it’s a queer child Until it’s a trans child Until it’s a non-Christian child Until it’s an immigrant child Just say what you really mean next time.

MAGA are what would have happened if Nazi Germany would have lobotomized the Nazis and then given them crack.

Donald Trump is a fucking war criminal — here & abroad!

This is among the many sad posts I've seen today. Hold on, y'all. 🥹🥹🥹👇

This is so fucked up!!! She did nothing wrong. She was trying to get to her doctor, and they stood in the way! Why not just allow her to pass? Why did they drag her out of her car and handcuffed her? WTF? These thugs are out of control and targeting women. By Amanda Moore bsky.app/profile/notu...

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Spent the last few days in Ukraine where the security forces are heavily armed, but polite and under control. I never had the slightest worry that they would shoot an unarmed person at close distance and celebrate it.

For as long as I live, I’ll never understand how the man who incited this, was returned to the office he was trying to steal. Never.

It’s amazing how many people with crosses in their bios are like “fuck yeah they shot that soccer mom in the face!”

Any questions? 🤨

COACH KERR: "It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

A hundred and fifty years ago, the violent goons who today join ICE to hunt down human beings would have been Slave Catchers.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

Jesse Ventura, accurately comparing the fascist authoritarian Trump regime to Hitler's Nazi regime of 1930s Germany. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👇

The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

Trump was interviewed yesterday by a New York Times team. Considering that he gave them 2 hours, they didn't come up with much. The newsiest item was Trump saying the U.S. could be entangled with Venezuela for years. Very little on Minneapolis. Here’s a gift link, plus my thread with 3 thoughts. 🧵🧵🧵

Colbert’s cold open last night. @colbertlateshow.bsky.social @latenightercom.bsky.social

Murder.

Murder.

Mayor Frey: “To ICE, get the f out of Minneapolis.”

For months, the United States has had heavily armed, masked government militias roaming our streets terrorizing immigrants & American citizens alike. Today they shot & killed an American citizen who was a human rights observer. This should not be happening in this country.

COLBERT, on the Kennedy Center Honors ratings: “.. It is beneath me to gloat, but if it weren't, I'd call him no talent, low-rated Donald Trump." @colbertlateshow.bsky.social @latenightercom.bsky.social
