If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

Fändet ihr es nicht sinnvoller, ein AfD-Verbot vom Bundesverfassungsgericht prüfen zu lassen, BEVOR die AfD eine Terrorpolizei wie ICE bei uns einführt, die willkürlich Menschen ermordet?

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

The events of the last 24 hours show why it's important to build functional verification structures in public and counterpublic spaces to resist the authoritarian erosion of our democratic systems, as described in this thread.

Ein Hoch auf die Leute, die jede ICE-Aktion filmen. Das ist ein antifaschistischer Dienst an der Demokratie.

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed. When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL I was traumatized for years from reading the news story. The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

State and local officials have urged a federal judge to issue an immediate order that would temporarily halt the massive deportation operation in Minnesota. The matter is scheduled for a hearing at 9 a.m. Monday.

Vigils were held around Minneapolis and beyond Saturday night in the wake of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents. Photo and video: Jeff Wheeler, Anthony Souffle, Simon Peter Groebner/The Minnesota Star Tribune.

i am also going to be printing a bunch of these and putting them up with a photo of alex around the VA hospital near me. folks in other cities should do the same

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.

This is a MUST-READ affidavit. This eyewitness to Alex Pretti’s murder — who is too scared to even go home because she doesn’t trust federal agents — directly refutes what the feds are saying happened today:

"Pretti was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois. Like Good, court records showed he had no criminal record and his family said he had never had any interactions with law enforcement beyond a couple of traffic tickets." {gift link} wapo.st/3LxWTQV

Americans really need to ask themselves is this the bottom of it all, the worse it gets?

We are searching for the woman in a red jacket who captured the ICE situation on video. We heard she was taken by federal agents. If anyone has updates, let us know.

Bellingcat also has a system they recommend for auto-archiving URLs to videos posted online before they can get taken down. A techie could set this up and everyone could send links to it. Archival quality evidence. Big Cloud can't be trusted not to delete such. www.bellingcat.com/resources/20...

Vigil for Alex Pretti in S. Minneapolis - changing “Who keeps us safe? We keep us safe!”

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.

Anyone able to ID this patch?

The term “law enforcement” should not be used by media, except perhaps in quotations. It has sadly become an Orwellian term that is used to magically sanctify violence. Language matters. Be specific. Describe individuals with names and ranks. Say exactly what they did. Don’t repeat fascist hocum.

You could hear music to unwind by artist Nur-D who was assaulted today in Minneapolis and support his music: "Hey Mr Officer could you kill me on a Monday..." open.spotify.com/track/174cax...

I’ve formally requested National Guard assistance to support our 600 Minneapolis police officers. I’ve been clear for weeks: this situation is unsustainable. Our community is tired. Our officers are tired. Our businesses are tired. Our top priority is safety—and this support helps us get there.

After today’s shooting, Minneapolis is filing a declaration to push for an immediate ruling on our temporary restraining order. We need swift action to protect our city.

NEW REPORTING: “This is fucking crazy, I don’t recognize our country.” We’re on the ground in Minneapolis speaking with enraged and grief-stricken residents after federal agents killed another local in the streets.

"Hey Mr Officer could you kill me on a Monday... ... can I die another day... Lyrics by artist Nur-D who was assaulted today in Minneapolis. open.spotify.com/track/174cax...

"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."

Matt is a friend of a friend. He is not only an amazing hip-hop artist, but he has been a brave civil rights activist for a long time. He is one of the people that make Minnesota truly great. This song is especially poignant right now: music.apple.com/us/album/mr-...

Hundreds have packed a Minneapolis intersection near where federal agents shot and killed U.S. citizen Alex Jeffrey Pretti earlier on Saturday. 📸: Louis Krauss

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

"Kranke Selbstbedienung": Energie-Boss feuert gegen Ministerin Reiche. "Die Gaskraftwerke sind ungeeignet und unverhältnismäßig. Die Ministerin ballert da Kraftwerke rein, die der Steuerzahler bezahlt, die für alle die Stromkosten erhöhen und gleichzeitig für die Konzerne Geld drucken werden."

U.S. tech companies will hit the wall soon. As it is now Europe has no other choice than to break free from them. That the White House sit on a kill switch for everything related to U.S. tech means that they can stop us dead in our tracks. That is of course not possible to accept.

A little girl can’t go to the park with her parents. A mother trembles while taking out the trash. A father peeks through the blinds to see if anyone is watching. Years earlier, this family faced persecution in Venezuela, but now they’re living in terror in the United States.

Micah, get some medical training. That will be valuable too. Learn how to treat tear gas and gunshot wounds. You may need it. I took an EMT course and I’m glad I did.

This week in Glendale- bit.ly/trainglendale

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

i'm going to print some in memoriam flyers for alex pretti and put them up near my local VA hospital, if anyone needed an idea

🚨BREAKING: "Just an endless use of force!" @jtcestkowski.bsky.social reports. ICE & Border Patrol launch BLISTERING attack of grenades, tear gas, and pepper balls at unarmed Minneapolis protesters after immigration agents shot and killed ANOTHER person. LIVE NOW⬇️

We had a fellow court watch volunteer be attacked yesterday and end up in the hospital. He was just observing ICE actions at our local field office.

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.
