I snort laughed …

AOC: If you can keep people divided, then you can continue to loot the economy. They are they are trying to distract from the fact that prices have exploded, that people's health insurance is being stripped, $1 trillion out of health care to fund this violence.

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

holy shit they are still asking Democrats if they will tone down the rhetoric

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

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."

AOC: "This really isn't just about Democrats. This is about Democrats, Republicans, and independents. There has been this permission structure where we have all universally accepted that the GOP will simply just have no morals, or fall in line, and we have to challenge that logic and rhetoric."

Worse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

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."

CW: EXTREME VIOLENCE I've synced up videos from both perspectives about as well as I can Audio from both is included They are both slowed down to ~.5x, zoomed in, and have their colors enhanced The captions are from the pink lady's video on the left

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

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.

I just phoned my senators, Schumer and Gillibrand. It was hard to keep the white hot rage out of my voice as I demanded that they defund ICE. You can sound any way you like, but you need to phone your senators about this.

holy crap youtube.com/shorts/hyqtA...

it is a sign of the total absence of trump from political decision making that they are letting this guy go out and say stuff that dramatically worsens their political position

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.

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect. /1

Minneapolis turning into a war zone

Walz: "I call on all Americans to see the decency this state is exhibiting, and the horrific cruelty, unprofessional, absolute abomination that is passing for what these f--- ICE agents are doing on our streets."

Tim walz needs to active the guard under state orders to protect citizens from ICE. If Trump federalizes them from under the Governor, this needs to go to court immediately as proof that the militia clause of the second amendment is violated

But when you go into work today, tomorrow, next week, next month, think about whether you are being asked by those in power to violate that oath. Think about whether you are comfortable looking at your family, at your children, and at your community when explaining your conduct. If you are,

A call to Federal law enforcement officers: I have represented countless of you over 20 years. I personally know many of you. I have had civil and professional interactions with untold numbers of you throughout my time as a practicing attorney. I never cared about your party affiliation.

CNN cuts to reporter Sara Sidner, who is in distress: "I'm trying to breathe"

Project this killing on the buildings of all the corporations giving money to Trump and the GOP. This is on them too. Project this footage, Renee Good, Epstein and Trump. Make them explain their support.

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)

The unc who went viral a few weeks ago protesting in MN is back: "5 shots they put into that man's body. How do you look me in the eye and tell me you can justify this? I'm a veteran. I swore an oath back in 1969 to protect this country against all enemies foreign and domestic. This is unbelievable"

This is extrajudicial murder. It’s a paramilitary execution of an unarmed civilian in cold blood. Horrifying.

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

O'Hara: "Initially some information was relayed to me that our officers were told that they were either not needed or could leave. I gave a direct order to ensure that Minneapolis police maintain the scene."

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."

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...

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

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.

This can have consequences for how agents see themselves. If they put on clothes designed for war, they are more likely to see cities as hostile terrain and citizens as enemy combatants, which can increase the chance of violence. Link to the story here: www.politico.com/news/magazin...

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.

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...

CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed. www.startribune.com/detained-by-...

Exercise commanders had to ask 🇫🇮 reservists, the most formidable Arctic warriors, who were playing the role of invaders in the war games, to go easy on the Americans. “The Finns had to be told to stop beating the Americans as it was embarrassing and demoralising for them,” a mil source said.” 3/

General strike. Nation wide.

"Experts on the formation of internal security services in authoritarian regimes point to a sense of impunity as a warning sign. Regime officials abuse their power when they know they will be protected, and even praised, for doing so." Very clarifying.

"We have a nice little database. Now you're considered a domestic terrorist." www.reddit.com/r/Maine/comm...
