ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

UPDATE: TIKTOK IS COOKED. Our videos went from tens of thousands to 0. (seemingly a direct result of Trump & Bibi’s friends taking over)

“The next phase is not reconstruction.” After the return of the remains of the last Israeli captive held in Gaza, Israeli PM Netanyahu said the next phase of the ceasefire will be “disarming Hamas and demilitarising the Gaza Strip.”

"The murder of Alex Jeffrey Pretti was not a mistake, or a tragedy, or a misunderstanding. It was a choice. The president of the United States and his regime saw what its masked agents had done to Renee Good and decided to do more of it."

Good morning Fam it's monday again Remember it's no shame to grab whatever moments of happiness you find along the way, it's actually a must during times of chaos. Have a good one #ThePoet and #TheBoy

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

Across the U.S., farmers are struggling. Prices for nearly every major crop are below what it costs to grow them. Farmers in Mississippi are perhaps worse off than farmers in the rest of the country. Rice is one of their biggest crops, and almost no one is buying.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Trump just said that Israel has killed 70,000 Hamas [his phrase]. So according to the president of the United States, the 70 000 Palestinians killed by Israel ( which includes over 20,000 children) are Hamas. Trump also referred to Israel as " we ".

Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, was shot and killed by ICE agents on Saturday.

Bessent: I'm sorry he is dead, but he did bring a semiautomatic weapon to what was supposed to be a peaceful protest. Karl: There's no evidence that he brandished the gun whatsoever Bessent: But he brought a gun! Karl: We do have a second amendment in this country.

Hey NRA, are you good with this? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

How the BBC sees it today.

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.

Pritzker: "The GOP is nowhere to be found. They're the ones that scream and yell about 'federal tyranny' about interference with states' rights. And now, their president is violating states' rights and attacking our states and Republicans are nowhere to be found to talk about it."

Gov. Walz: "We're creating a log of evidence for the future prosecution of ICE agents and officials responsible for this."

Palestinians do not die of natural causes Awful journalism from Isreali client media @cnn.com who STILL REFUSE to NAME THE CULPRIT

Clean up on aisle 47

This is how the administration is maligning Alex Pretti A caring, 37 year old male US citizen who worked in the Minneapolis VA ICU as a nurse caring for sick veterans. This is shameful and indefensible.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

I guess it’s fine to point out the murders were against US citizens because I think that point needs to break through to the normies. However, I don’t like the implication that it means non-citizen should be shot and killed either. 😐

The working class needs a Workers Party, not the Democratic Party.

How many January 6 insurrectionists were armed? Is the position now that Capitol police could have shot them all? Just trying to keep up

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

The victim of Saturday’s fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis was identified as 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

This is how you know the shooting was completely indefensible without even having to watch the videos.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

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

Another Gestapo murder in Minnesota. Six agents wrestle someone to the ground and then shoot him in the back www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

Alex Pretti:

Megyn Kelly is an evil person and Glen Greenwald is a pos for not calling her out

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

More than 400 years of history and a decade of advocacy were torn down Thursday afternoon when National Park Service employees removed every single display at the President’s House. 🔗 What's next? We explain: www.inquirer.com/politics/nat...

A man was wrestled to the ground and shot multiple times by federal agents in Minneapolis

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

@pbsnews.org The PBS News Hour does some good work but the feature Brooks and Capehart is an absolute disgrace. Today, Friday Jan 23, there was a discussion of Trump's so called Gaza Peace Board and both idiots (Brooks and Capehart) failed to mention THE most important flaw of this board: ZERO

"Donald Trump’s plan to include Tony Blair in the running of Gaza is causing dismay among survivors of Israel’s genocide The so-called ‘Board of Peace’ seems far removed from daily reality in the Gaza Strip, where residents are preoccupied with securing water,bread and warmth"(Declassified UK) #Gaza
