IT'S COMING ... FASCISM IS IN CONTROL ... JUST LIKE PUTIN ... tRUMPSTEIN WILL GIVE HIMSELF 95% OF OUR VOTES ... 🤬🤬🤬 SO WHAT'S THE PLAN???

World's least surprising stat, now with alt text:

If fascists are getting out of bed in the winter and making things, we also need to get out of bed and make things. The horrors persist, but so do we.

This is Alex Pretti.

Imagine this in a trial. Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing Declaration filed in federal court: "I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

🚨 Breaking from the US Senator for Connecticut. 👇 There you have it. ICE has never been about immigration enforcement. It's a weapon used to brutalize Americans and stoke enough fear so that Trump can rig the elections and usher in dictatorship.

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

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

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.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it? [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
