Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: #3E #GoodvsEvil

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

I really need Democratic lawmakers to understand that we're fed up with them simply posting on social media "this has to stop" without calling for specific actions to make it stop. We know this needs to stop. We elected you. Tell us what needs to be done to make it stop.

"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."

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights. There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us. This is my favorite guide.

All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

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.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

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.

Miller is as mentally ill as Trump is. He no longer can distinguish between the dark fantasies that bounce around in his mind and the real world around him.

As I write in new post 👇it's time for free state Govs/AGs/Dem Congressional leaders to rally for the people of Minnesota as Europe rallied for Denmark. We must come together to act & speak with one, unified voice. The assault on Minnesota must end. Now. 1/ www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-courag...

Per his colleagues: The victim’s name was apparently Alex Pretti and he was an ICU nurse caring for severely injured veterans at the VA Hospital. He was acting as an observer, filming the raid. Any suggestion that he was there with violence on his mind is horrific gaslighting.

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)

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

This is why it’s so important to see all the video you can before making a judgement (looking at you DHS). Video appears to show the victim trying to protect another person & being pulled down by agents. There needs to be a credible investigation, not one by CBP/ICE www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

In anticipation of this weekend's winter storm, we have partnered with the City of Durham to open a mass care emergency shelter at Northern High School on Saturday, January 24. More information below: ⬇

The Trump Administration has made life harder for millions thanks to its reckless tariff policies, devastating cuts to our health care system and SNAP, failure to bring down costs and more. Virginia families paid $1,269 more in 2025 due to rising inflation. Nationwide, they paid over $1,600 more.

In Trump’s “Golden Age,” you get to eat one piece of chicken, one piece of broccoli, and a corn tortilla. Remember when he promised to lower grocery prices on Day One? Turns out that was yet another lie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EXi6xyOXSk

Murphy: The United States Congress should not fund a Department of Homeland Security that is not obeying the laws of the United States of America

things off the top of my head that i can think of that conservatives have called tyranny - health care subsidies - seeing pronouns in an email - being suspended from a social media platform - pride month - baking a cake for a same sex wedding - legal rulings against donald trump - EV benchmarks

There is not a better messenger in this moment than @aoc.bsky.social

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

This is a hate crime. Shooting an unarmed queer woman point blank in the face—three times—is an act of hatred.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

If you wanna be nihilistic and say nothing really matters and nothing's gonna change and there's no point in fighting back, that's your choice. But don't expect the rest of us to humor it. Don't expect others to make space for chronic negativity. Nihilism is useless and irritating and repulsive.

Frey: "We have hundreds of thousands that are standing up for their neighbors right now. We have people that are not taking the bait of this Trump administration because we know they're looking for any excuse to come in with greater force and occupy our city."

YES!

.@PabloReports: What do you make of Republican efforts to increase ICE funding? Menendez: There should be no more money for ICE. There needs to be accountability for ICE. We need to do that before another fucking dollar is spent on them.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism. Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

If we had a normal President, he'd express human decency and offer condolences for the MURDERED U.S. citizen under his watch. Instead, we get a paragraph of propaganda and excuses that put the blame on the victim – a tactic Trump has used on women for decades. Disgusting.

"This was a family that could've been like mine" -- Philip Bump breaks down crying on MS NOW when talking about the stuffed animals in Renee Good's car when she was killed

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

While the GOP is turning a blind eye to what’s in the Constitution, can we go in and fix the 2nd Amendment real quick?

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Run another country? Donald Trump couldn’t run a casino

The White House says the Kennedy Center board vote was “unanimous”… BULLSHIT. @repbeatty.bsky.social, a Congressional member of the board, was on the call. They muted her and didn't let her voice opposition. This is beyond absurd, totally illegal, and a disgrace to the memory and legacy of JFK.

The Kennedy Center was given its name by an act of Congress after President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Pretty sure its current board, which includes revered fine arts dignitaries like Laura Ingraham, Pamela Jo Bondi, Maria Bartiromo, and Lee Greenwood, can't undo that law.

Renaming the Kennedy Center, our national fine arts center, after such a coarse, lowbrow, and ignorant buffoon is America at its very stupidest.

This could have been an email.

Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

HERITAGE FOUNDATION: "Nice state ya got there. Pity if anything happened to it." INDIANA: "Oh, *do* fuck off."

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?
