(1 of 2) I've now seen the video taken by the woman in the pink jacket—she was just feet away. Only watch it if you have a very strong stomach. It confirms that the man Trump agents executed in broad daylight was killed because he dared to try to protect a woman who was being abused by Trump agents.

Reminder: If the Supreme Court upholds Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship, some of the ICE officers currently brutalizing Minnesotans may be reassigned to apprehend newborns from the hospital for immediate deportation. Just read the Trump administration’s own memo.

For decades, Conservative 2nd Amendment zealots have screamed about needing weapons to protect their nation from a tyrannical government. Then, when it actually shows up and murders citizens, they change the narrative. What a bunch of sick, sad, phony patriots...

It’s actually useful that they’re lying so brazenly about Alex Pretti’s killing because it shows how badly they were also lying about Renee Good, as most of us already knew.

Videos verified by The New York Times show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him. In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.

Federal agents killing civilians with no consequences makes escalation inevitable. Someone will retaliate and an agent will be killed. I oppose all violence. Impunity plus street-level killings is a recipe for chaos, and this is entirely predictable. This has to stop.

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.

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."

WaPo’s editorial board STILL doesn’t grapple with why THREE trial judges, and THREE appellate courts found a gag order against Trump was necessary. It also sidesteps that Smith AVOIDED a 1A battle by selecting charges that didn’t require proving incitement.
