Alex Pretti did not take his gun out of his waistband. An agent confiscated the gun and accidentally discharged it. He did not violently resist arrest. He was trying to help a woman that agents had shoved to the ground. He was still executed in broad daylight on the streets of Minneapolis.

I refuse to listen to a guy who thinks pull-up bars in an airport will solve the staffing problems with the FAA.

Alex Pretti never had a gun. CBP murdered him in cold blood. They can't produce a gun with his finger prints or a clip. I demand an explanation of Obstuction of Justice. The picture they released came from a crime committed last week. Its from the internet. @maddow.bsky.social, @schiff.senate.gov

We're calling you Liars, Terrorist, And Thieves We'd hear it and see it on our screens We're calling you Liars, Terrorist, And Thieves Every day your masked men come around And and spray their bullets at the free

Republicans are liars, terrorists, traitors & thieves They must be stopped

To Duffy:

Sean Duffy: "If you come to a protest with a 9mm firearm, that's fine believing in the Second Amendment, but you stand on the sidewalk and you hold your sign. You take that 9mm and you start to engage with ICE officers, and then you resist arrest -- listen, I don't want anyone to die, but ... "

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."

When you're a Republican justifying evil, every office ages you disproportionally. Or maybe it's just the Sith thing...

He can't cancel the midterms legally by any means. The military has nothing to do with voting. They are only to be used as law enforcement. Will the military take illegal orders to shoot US citizens from a president? No. They swore an oath to the constitution,not a president.

I think Minnesota has an uphill climb in this lawsuit, but if they have a leg to stand on, it's because of the ransom note from Pam Bondi. "You must bend to the will of the federal government" feels like it *might* fit the anti-commandeering aspect of 10A.

My old university used to have 'Guides' to systems etc & how they work. My new university, showing the heavy hand of management consultants, now has 'Knowledge base articles'. I think I need to check whether information is the same as knowledge. That would be a philosophical question. #PhilSci

This sums it up.

Get ready for Trump to throw Noem & Bovino under the bus—and maybe even the shooting agents too—as he desperately tries to be the hero and boost his cratering approval over this chaos. It’s what he always does. He’s the arsonist who then puts out his own fire & claims to be the hero. So predictable

Here's a diff from public violence of protest and repression from mid-1960s through mid-1970s. -Some of the thugs were masked. Mainly the Klan -I don't remember any of them dressing up as Nazis. (Probably because more people remembered WW II.) Now, w Noem/Miller/Trump support, Bovino paves the way

an administration that understood it needed at least *some* public opinion on its side would dump bovino immediately

Bovino and Noem are trying to avoid accountability for the crimes committed by their subordinates It won't work

The Department of Homeland Security isn't killing people indiscriminately Pam Bondi made it crystal clear The Trump administration dispatched Noem and Bovino-with their secret police-to Minneapolis so they can grab full control of future elections They are cementing their fascist hegemony

JUDGE: So your point is that it doesn't matter how clear the statement of the quid pro quo (Bondi's letter) is that it can never implicate anti-commandeering as long as it's law enforcement? (It seems that this Bondi letter is a big issue)

Bovino says they will never tell us which agents killed Alex Pretti— and they will keep working the streets.

Stained glass summit from the #ScamperDownTheSomersetCoast #HuntspillToKilve leg: #StMaryCannington. Good stained glass is thin on the ground often it's Victorian and undistinguished. There's plenty of unremarkable glass here but when it's framed like this...#StainedGlassSunday

Today’s theme is birds paddling/standing in water, with robins for Janet as the alt. Here are a greenshank, little egret, mute swan and black-headed gull all standing around the Fishbourne estuary, and a robin just #ForJanet #BirdOfTheDay #Birds #Paddling #EastCoastKin

So simply naming someone is doxxing, but taking photos and license plate numbers to create a database of the opposition for government stalking and harassment purposes is not? Naming someone is not doxxing them, and moving them to another city to kill more is conspiracy against rights.

MN brings up the leaked DHS memo instructing ICE to enter homes without a judicial warrant in the 10A hearing happening now. Judge: "Where is the law suit on that? I can't be the global keeper of all the things. That's an important legal question that isn't before me in this 10th Amendment case."
