Irony isn’t dead

In the wake of Alex Pretti’s assassination Scott Galloway proposes that a general strike on all AI tools (making up the overwhelming majority of 2025 market growth) would throw the US market in a tailspin and be the most effective message to the white house to fuck off with their fascist bullshit.

Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

😂🤣😂🤣

Projected on the US Justice Department building in LA. #AbolishICE

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Journalists, please remember that repeating obviously false statements is not balance or fairness. It is actively participating in deception.

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 I blocked most of them, but if you are of the ilk of “don't yell at Chuck Shumer on line…”, fuck you, this is what Jeffries and Shumer should be doing 👇

I don’t see too many people talking about what an incredible accomplishment it was for MN officials and lawyers to get those affidavits and that motion written and filed and to get a Trump appointed judge to issue a TRO against the feds to stop them from destroying evidence - all in the same day.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Thread is noteworthy

There are just the loveliest little candlelight vigils for Alex Pretti being held all over Uptown right now. People building little candle memorials on street corners in the snow. This city is in pain but we will win together

Imagine this in a trial. Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing Declaration filed in federal court: "I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

That's what I’m talking ‘bout

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.

👀👀

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

It should’ve been DOA in the house

Q: They defied a search warrant this morning. Do you think they'll abide by a federal court order? FREY: Everybody listen to that question. The question is 'will this administration abide by a court order.' These are the underpinnings of our democracy and Constitution. The answer better be yes.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

And he didn’t. He tried to help a woman who’d just been assaulted. There was nothing rash, stupid, or radical about what he did. He showed kindness. And they killed him for it.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

ICE has now killed a white man and white woman. Both citizens. It isn't just immigrants, brown folks, Black folks, pro Palestinian activists and Muslims. If this doesn't wake up "white moderates" and privileged centrists, then...all I can say is good luck.

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

They shot him 10 times while he was face down. It was a 3rd world style public execution DHS is telling Fox the man "had a gun" and they "recovered" it. We all saw the video. He never pulled it. And owning a gun is legal in America. So why is he dead? bsky.app/profile/muel...

Saw this on @indivisiblechicago.bsky.social’s instagram but not here yet

Board of Peace - Season 1

"I was hit so hard with the fact that this man would not do this for me," she said.

NEW: I was one of 3 reporters granted access to the convening of 600+ clergy in Minneapolis this week. It was a striking show of solidarity with MN clergy resisting ICE, but heralded something else: the emergence of a vast, faith-based network trained to resist ICE. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/i...

Jesus

Oh FFS

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

genuinely stunning image

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Yesterday I got to sit down (well, stand in a crowd) with Rt. Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal Bishop of Washington who made headlines last year for her sermon asking Trump to "have mercy" on migrants. A year later, she's in Minneapolis, preaching the same message. religionnews.com/2026/01/23/o...

I've covered a lot of protests and resistance movements of various kinds in my days on this earth -- I've never seen anything quite like this epic day in Minneapolis today. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

Well said, Der Spiegel. The Germans would know.
