I've heard organizers at multiple demos like this call for a strike in response to the Trump admin's mass deportation campaign. The call's repeated here, on the heels of yesterday's mass demo in the Twin Cities. "It is our duty, it is our right, strike, strike, strike, strike!" The crowd declares.

i've been lightheaded all afternoon 😭 wth

Fucking nightmarish that this I’m reupping this, but reports are now coming out that it was Border Patrol Officers, members of CBP, working under little-Nazi-trench-coat-Greg-Bovino who murdered Alex Jeffrey Pretti today. ICE =/= CBP, although they are both under DHS. This is why it matters.

is it illegal to publish the works of lenin with modernized language and say it was written by obama so liberals buy it

These people have lost their minds and souls.

“Well, why’d he bring a gun to a protest?” asks a man brandishing an assault rifle inside a Jimmy John’s off state road 35 in Muncie, Indiana

Fuck ICE Fuck AI Fuck America Fuck these bitches!!!

“Hundreds of immigrant mothers” in Texas concentration camp uprising

they just played an interview with one of the protesters that got interrupted by ice firing tear gas into the crowd. the chyron: “protestors clash with federal agents”

Three apartments worth of people on their balconies here are heckling agents down below. One person has produced a white board that says "ICE can suck my dick." "Fuck you all! Kill yourselves!"

Snow is lightly falling over Chicago's Little Village neighborhood, where people have gathered for an emergency demonstration in response to federal agents killing Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this morning. "We're gonna take this death as fertilizer to our soul," a speaker tells the crowd.

Just escalation after escalation

But the revolution NEEDS my condescending smug attitude

the "and you're surprised by this?" guys have never been less vital than they are right now

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

As someone who has spent over 35 years trying to explain that violence is inherent to policing only to have most people be OK with this, I could be excused if I decided to just give up. But I'm not. I knew we would be where we are today. I still think that we do not have to live like this.

always seeing the usual suspects say " trumps ice is good rhetorical framing!" and I think it's pretty clear that the reason people aren't fucking with this type of language is bc the squishy "leaders" of the party have been using that exact tactic since trump1 to literally no avail.

This is fucking gross

I was there and saw this happen, he was doing nothing illegal - he was on the side walk, with a crowd of peaceful protesters. his only "crime" seems to be that he was one of a group playing loud music, taunting ICE. and then ICE descended like angry animals, coming in for a kill.

don't post online, they're tracking your phone, they're in public signal chats, don't say anything they could target you for...

National guard to control protests but not ICE. They protect power not the people.

I’ve protested, I’ve organized, I’ve voted, I’ve done everything that I feel like u can do in my immediate community and it never feels like enough. I don’t know what else to do.

"you can't just call for a general strike by posting on social media" no shit? why is this always the first point to be made?

not for nothing but their '24 VP pick and his state are under complete, murderous siege and the Dem establishment can't even muster some united front to help their VP pick, their guy from 18 months ago, nevermind giving a fuck about the citizens. Depraved

dude can you even imagine the satisfying purple color his bald head is gonna turn

yeah

just unbelievable to watch the news in real time and see how hard it is for them to say “the video doesn’t match what the government is saying.” they’re literally shrugging their shoulders and scratching their heads

i will not engage with b*d emp*n*d* i will not engage with b*d emp*n*d* i will not engage with b*d emp*n*d* i will not engage with b*d emp*n*d* i will not engage with b*d emp*n*d*

socialism or barbarism

what do you mean by "sympathy protests"?

interaction with a law enforcement officer is definitively when due process begins

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

we only have to get lucky once

now the local nbc affiliate has a “use of force expert” and retired fbi agent on to say he watched the video and it was like football fumble where it was hard to figure out what happened and a bad time for him to tell them he was armed (??). thanks expert

abolishing ICE is step 1

ice watch is a great start but it is insufficiently radical because, ok now that we've watched them by what mechanism will we bring back the people they are taking away?

I think people need to start realizing that things are gonna get much much worse before they get better, and steel themselves to that. And maybe accept that the end of the project maybe won't be seen by them, but it can be built for the generations after us.

What's happening with ICE is quite literally what all the leftists & communists have been warning you about the police state for as long as you've been alive. People should start thinking about why so many people have been convinced by their government to demonize them.

They are removing any and all doubt that it can’t happen to you.

He's directing traffic. He steps inbetween ICE and two women who are being harrassed by them (one of whom was shoved to the ground for no reason), raises his hands and turns away from them and says "Okay! Okay!" to indicate he isn't going to be aggressive, at which point they start with pepper spray

ICE are abducting toddlers and using them as bait. They murdered a mother of 3 and executed a VA ICU nurse. They're beating, pepper spraying, and gassing US citizens protesting their actions. When is it enough? This needs to end immediately.

abandoning Abolish ICE as a goal in favor of Hang ICE

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Appears this is also true for fascism.
