BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

btw the civility panic a few years ago was about precisely this: the ability to have polite conversations about how black people are racially inferior in public without criticism or backlash bsky.app/profile/hann...

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

DOJ is Trump's personal law firm that we pay for. Free for him to use its unlimited resources to harass people like Lemon, Lisa Cook or Comey. We collectively pay the price both in our taxes and in losing a nonpartisan legal system. The individual victims must pay ruinous financial costs and stress.

Nick Fuentes called Alex Pretti a “race traitor” for opposing ICE. I argue that sentiment is actually widespread on the MAGA right. My latest for @liberalcurrents.com www.liberalcurrents.com/after-alex-p...

Shooting protestors ✅ Killing citizens ✅ Arresting journalists ✅ Attacking free media ✅ Raiding electoral offices ✅ Overturning election results ✅ Going after political opponents ✅ Enriching yourself in office ✅ Attacking academics ✅ Eroding rule of law ✅ Ignoring courts ✅ Disinformation campaigns ✅

Anyway congrats to our Free Speech Champions(tm) who helped usher in the most censorious American government since the Palmer Raids

We’re just not a free country. Any American watching this play out between regime forces and journalists overseas would recognize it for what it is.

Hussien’s detention has reverberated through the tight-knit Somali community and beyond, alarming his children’s teachers and neighbors who have known his family for years.

An extraordinary document. Read it. “Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

my guy was back out there doin Good Work with a broken rib from his previous encounter. name a fucking high school after him.

to the extent that there is a “carrot” to trumpism it is the same carrot that slaveholders offered to lower class white men: “you can be an overseer”

When reading the physician's sworn statement under penalty of perjury on shocking denial of medical care to Alex Pretti ⬇️ Remember Kristi Noem's statement earlier today: "Medics were on the scene immediately and attempted to deliver medical aid to the subject."

Dems should introduce legislation now defunding ICE and CBP operations in Minnesota, so they have to leave the state. One sentence bill. Demand an immediate vote. Maybe refuse to vote for cloture on any funding bills (or other bills) until a vote. Make the GOP Congress break w/ Trump or own it all.

i think this attitude — that all opposition is illegitimate and nothing we do can be questioned— is probably pervasive in the white house and helps explain why they keep making terrible political choices

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

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.

This was merely a Kavanaugh shooting.

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.

we need to abolish ICE right fucking now these are violent thugs who want to kill everyone. this is the gestapo. this is nazi germany. this is state execution that will be approved of by those on top

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Minneapolis TODAY (Jan 24, 2026). They’re executing people in the streets. (🎥 ICE of Tik Tok)

from what I can see, the video shows a beating followed by an execution.

> @startribune.com www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Should go without saying but it is appalling how racist the Portland Maine operation is. Obviously it is All rabid, lawless racial profiling and militarized barbarism, but there are about seven people who live in Portland right now. There is no reason to do a federal invasion of it except that it…

We will win. A better world is possible.

“and then our goons will kidnap that life and send it to a concentration camp if we deem them the wrong color”

i don't *care* how they feel but as I watched this I wondered what it felt like to be one of those cops, sent out to arrest clergy peacefully praying for the humane treatment of others. and agreeing to do it.

Well, one person in this exchange is attempting to evoke an ominous sense of terror, but it's not the observer. (via @nathantbernard.bsky.social over in the other place)

The existence of this agency, staffed the way it is today, is just completely incompatible with a democratic society.

In the last 24 hours, we have learned that the regime's secret police claim powers to enter homes without a warrant, thus ignoring the Bill of Rights, and that the regime arrested and deported students for their Constitutionally protected speech. There is no ambiguity about what is going on here.

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

“If the person is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

They know their audience has an insatiable appetite for seeing black women humiliated for exceeding their station, so when it didn’t happen they used AI to complete the fantasy bsky.app/profile/nyti...

"just lie back and take it" An administration with a rapist mentality.

There is one word in the English language that explains what Minneapolis is experiencing right now: tyranny. We are under assault by a tyrannical government and its little jackbooted commandant. We are going to keep fighting, and we will win, stand with us.

BREAKING: Immigration officers are asserting sweeping power to enter homes without a judge’s warrant, a memo obtained by AP says.

when I talk to my European friends my stance isn’t “sorry”, it’s “I hate that motherfucker with every bone in my body and will do everything in my power to achieve a world in which he spends the rest of his life in a prison cell”

These are concentration camps. And these are the numbers they're comfortable sharing.

To Republicans, someone making you feel bad about your opinions or actions is violence, but an agent of the state shooting you in the face, dragging you out of your car, or tear gassing you is not.
