If this is true then we are in a new place.

In three years either ICE will be abolished or the USA will be a police state. Hard to see it ending any other way.

It appears the shooter saw another agent remove the gun from Alex’s waistband, waited for that agent to clear, then shot Alex in the back. I don't see a defense for this.

Just released my free weekend update. This week answered an important riddle. How was the US to be paid from seized Russian assets? why the new "Board of Peace" is the perfect vehicle. Completely unaccountable and unsanctionable, it is a corrupt ruler’s dream. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Also, I full believe is started in Minnesota specifically because Trump hates Walz. These are people being murdered because he doesn’t like their politics and their political leaders stood up to him. It’s got nothing to do with immigration

The mendacity of Kristi Noem is of world historical level - just a thoroughly vile and worthless henchwoman of evil.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

The task for political leadership now is not just to tell the truth, but to make people care about what is true and what is not.

JFC you know there’s federal laws against knowingly lying about an investigation into a crime… along with ordering your goons to violate the Constitution #ImpeachNoem & prosecute her and Homan, Bovino etc, under state laws first so their evil boss can’t pardon them.

No. They do not "appear to" contradict it. They contradict it.

AOC: "Early reports are that he was an ICU nurse at the Mpls VA. So we are talking about Donald Trump accusing a VA ICU as being a terrorist against the United States. A man who was treating service members to our country ... his final act on early was helping a woman pushed to the ground."

The psychopathy is glaring. She is extremely dangerous.

Alex was an ICU Nurse at the VA. To choose that line of work, and to do it a VA, says everything about him and his selflessness. What a profound and brutal loss for his family, community, patients and our country. Every elected official should condemn this unequivocally.

on the issue of “who scored more goals, bournemouth or liverpool”, differing perspectives are emerging; on the one hand, video evidence suggests that bournemouth did. however, sources inside anfield say these images “lack context”, and it seems to be becoming a footballing litmus test

Nicht nur die USA - aber dort können wir sehen, wie schnell der Umbau passiert.

Vielleicht sollten sich deutsche Nachrichtenmedien die kursierenden Videos aus #Minneapolis, die verschiedene Blickwinkel zeigen, erst einmal anschauen, bevor sie die Lügen des US-Heimatschutzministeriums als ganz normale Aussage wiedergeben.

When gentle-faced nurses and young mothers are summarily executed in full daylight, there is no both-sidesing this.

Propaganda-level lying and discrediting of DHS handling any investigation.

The same experts that dissect Russian propaganda now dissect statements of the DHS. This is painful to watch - but utterly necessary.

A lot of double figure follower accounts super keen on armed resistance on here right now. The correct response, whether a bot or just an disagreeable tankie with an appropriate number of followers, it to block immediately and not engage.

Yes the US has reached the ”nothing is true and everything is possible” stage. Refer to Russia for further information how it continues from there

He sounds like a kind and wonderful human being, and ICE murdered him in cold blood.

I don’t think the USA is going to have elections anymore. Not under Trump, this Senate, or Congress. They’re going all in and know they’ll be tarred and feathered, or worse, if they ever lose power.

Historically, the response to systematic institutional failings and injustice doesn’t start inside government. It starts when groups of people refuse to let failure fade away, they keep attention on it, document it, repeat it, and make it costly to ignore. For example, the civil rights movement.

MS NOW: "I'm just getting something handed to me -- a statement from DHS -- that it will investigate the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old protester by its officers rather than the FBI. So they're gonna be investigating that which they already issued a summary about. It would seem like a closed book."

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

ANOTHER ANGLE. This man was NOT brandishing a firearm. He was holding his phone. He then put his body between ICE thugs and woman. He was then sprayed with a chemical agent, tackled, disarmed, and executed. Plain as day. DO NOT let them tell you otherwise.

Once you learn how to build things, the desire to keep doing it never goes away.

"In der Stadt Minneapolis nahmen ICE-Mitarbeiter mindestens vier Kinder in Gewahrsam, wie Behördenvertreter mitteilten." Rechtsextremismus und seine Folgen. Solche Zustände für Deutschland verhindern heißt: AfD verhindern. #afdverbotjetzt www.deutschlandfunk.de/ice-beamte-n...

This, among other things, entails the complete collapse of any separation (whether intra-institutional or inter-institutional) of powers within the federal government. The unitary executive is already reality

American Fascism is testing the limits of what it can get away with, having already gotten away with a failed coup, we are now well into the rounding people up without due process and extrajudicial executions stage.

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

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.

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

I usually don't like the 1930s DE parallels but here is Nacht über Minneapolis. 😞

A nurse.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

Gang sounds right.

NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

Teilt bitte nicht den Quatsch von FoxNews & Co, sondern den @startribune.com. Die Redaktion zeigt seit Wochen, wie wichtig unabhängiger Lokaljournalismus vor Ort ist. Mir ist kein US-amerikanisches Medium bekannt, was derzeit näher dran ist in #Minneapolis. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Witnesses are being taken to Whipple. From a lawyer friend: “They’re trying to keep local PD and BCA from getting statements and confiscating any phones with video.”

Das gemeinsame Schlagen und Erschießen von einzelnen Menschen ist historisch zumeist der Vorläufer von Einsatzgruppen und Kommandos, die dies in großem Stil praktizieren und als ihre Aufgabe verstehen.

7 guys beating up a man who told them he was a corrections officer. They shot him 4 to 5 times.

Not sure our brains were made to process extrajudicial executions in the streets in real time

Genuinely not sure how the States lasts another three years of this.

1/ Others have pointed this out, but there are massive hidden costs in terms of effort and contingency planning to all the Trump threats that never materialize because he never meant them, TACO'd, got talked out of it, or got distracted. I wanted to talk about why by explaining risk mitigation.
