Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Reminder: - Nothing being reported on ICE withdrawing - By govtās own admission, 2,000 ICE invaders here, a still-astounding number - Unclear how many CPB agents will be removed - Tom Homan, the new Bovino, was the force behind ICEās family separation policy, a bribe-taker, and a monster

"Those who were violent and those who were not have equal responsibility to be nonviolent" should lead to some pretty obvious conclusions. Unless you're NYT editorial in which case, "both the perpetrators and the victims had a responsibility not to do it but never mind who did it."

These organizations were not designed for the purpose of murdering civilians, but they were designed in a way that made these murders plainly inevitable, and every signpost along the way was met with indifference at best.

Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."
