Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

There is no question this was a lynching and public execution. They didn’t even know Alex had a gun in his HOLSTER until he was on the ground. He never touched it. They beat him then shot him 10x.

This is testimony… 📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti. “After the shooting, they (ICE) decided to just scatter and save themselves.”

This is the BEST explanation I have seen so far.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

“Don't know what happened But somebody lost their mind tonight Not sure what happened But I don't think I got home tonight And there's blood on my shirt The clap of thunder And I see my life go flashing by The smell of sulphur And I weep as I embrace the sky I heard somebody scream

i am deeply disappointed that, after the horrific & unjustified murder of Alex Pretti on Saturday, Tim Cook still chose to socialize with those in our government who are most responsible.

trying to understand ’why?’ and ‘how can we help them see the connections?’ is exhausting.

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.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

"The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. ... "Next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

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.

I hope that Democrats realize what’s happening in Minnesota is also a dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms.

Renee Good was shot 3 times by ICE The first two shots were non lethal. One to her left forearm & another to right breast The final shot entered the left side of her head & exited the right side He didn’t have to keep shooting. He was out of the vehicle’s path before the kill shot That’s murder

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

He murdered her

I was already certain the moral character of ICE agents was pretty low, but when I saw that not one of the other agents even attempted to render aid to a young woman who they just saw get shot in the face I knew the caliber of the men we are dealing with was basically sub human.

Don't really need to imagine -- there have been 9 ICE shootings in the last few months, all of which were agents shooting into someone's car, as far as I know there was no video of any of those, and except for one in Chicago they just didn't get any attention

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Watch. “Keepers of the Flame” (1942). 🖖

So Bari Weiss’s first real editorial intervention at CBS is to repress coverage of American concentration camps.

The argument has been that having the Bible back in schools would improve morality. It doesn’t work in churches does it? You might parade around thinking you are righteous and moral quoting Leviticus 18:22. But the fact that you are a cnut of a human being with no real

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

The bottom 90% lost a collective $79 trillion in wages over the past 50 years. Why? Because the top 1% ate up an increasingly larger share of the national income — so that $79 trillion flowed to them instead of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Donald Trump is already laying the groundwork to throw the 2026 midterms into chaos. His success could have dire consequences for American democracy, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic’s December issue. theatln.tc/WSldt5aa

there’s something so weird about Dumbo… he seems to delight in causing pain; but can’t handle witnessing distress in person. he won’t visit our injured soldiers; he freaked out when a Mar-a-copro guest had a bleeding head wound, etc. no compassion & no guts. 🐓🌮

Nothing to worry about here, no sir.

In case you're wondering whether the Tr•mp is serious about persecuting people for the things they think and write about, consider the case of Mark Bray, a historian who writes about the origins and evolution of antifascism 🗃️ #Tyranny #edusky #signalboost www.nytimes.com/2025/10/08/n...

This is a 9-0 Supreme Court decision from just last year.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok
