Oh they are fucking TERRIFIED

You know why we’ve spent the last 10 years hearing republicans telling us, ‘they’re coming for your guns’? Because, as it turns out, republicans were coming for your guns.

🚨 JUST OUT from @schumer.senate.gov ▶️ "“Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included." Now we are going to need him and every one from Sen. Dem to hold the line.

Trump’s thugs shot & killed again in Minneapolis. They’re creating chaos & there’s no accountability — they don’t investigate & it’s almost impossible to sue. It’s why I’m advancing the No Kings Act — vote next week — to let people sue federal agents for violating their rights. End the impunity.

hang it in the fucking louvre

There is no evidence that Pretti ever drew his gun. Can the family not sue for libel everyone who is claiming he did so--especially administration officials who absolutely know better, are in a position to know better, and are lying with malice aforethought?

lol maga accounts creating brand new accounts here on Bluesky hiding their identities just like the agents do because they’re all spineless losers who will never show their faces in public even in an online setting. So staunch in their beliefs and hate but never enough to put their names next to it

there we go

I know it’s controversial but I will always side with “why should we change the idealistic symbols, they’re the ones who suck.”

there's some degree of political opportunism and wind-shifting here from Democrat leaders here, but I don't think we should underestimate genuine moral outrage as a factor too.

They hate us immigrants so much they are willing to kill those who they should see as “their own” in order to continue the cruelty. Truly evil.

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.

For some context here: Melissa Joan Hart is, um... NOT what you would call a "Hollywood Liberal" by any remote definition 👀

Took them long enough to grow some balls (but thank God that they finally dis).

“ICE > MN” is impeachable by itself.

I’m tired of so-called leftists belittling the basic liberal mobilization of No Kings. Everything fits together. Everyone should be friends

Someone should remind Trump that in his first term everyone knew he was "the boss" because he fired people in Miller etc's positions frequently when things went wrong

Did Minnesota STOP being an open carry state at some point? Because I'm pretty sure Minnesota is an open carry state.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

"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."

This is how the administration is maligning Alex Pretti A caring, 37 year old male US citizen who worked in the Minneapolis VA ICU as a nurse caring for sick veterans. This is shameful and indefensible.

I’ve reached out to both Gov. Walz and Sen. Klobuchar following the latest shooting involving federal agents in Minnesota. Marylanders have witnessed this cruelty in our own communities – during a school drop-off in Salisbury and in Glen Burnie on Christmas Eve. These are not isolated incidents.

Pritzker: "An American president should be standing up, calling for calm. That's not what this president ever does. In fact, he wants the temperature to go up. Why? Because what he's looking for is an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act, to bring actual troops into American cities."

Kyle Rittenhouse was on Infowars the day after the Renee Good shooting saying he had heard on X that Renee was putting cigarettes out on her kids. This wasn't true. This is a government by and for school shooters and their apologists.

I will canvass for whichever candidate runs on putting this man in prison in 2028.

In some countries the outbreak of bloodshed inspires the opposition party to call for the leader to resign

Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position, Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.

Seriously, though. You're asking this about BOOKS AND ESSAYS and meanwhile several major industries and arguably the U.S. Govt are in *ruins* because the lunatic idiot who runs Tesla is making it the entire world's problem that he is grotesquely unqualified at fatherhood? bsky.app/profile/sohr...

...are both of you f---ing kidding me? "Men and fathers venting [these same and other] anxieties" is not only OCEANS of celebrated literature and art going back CENTURIES; it's the current basis of multiple entire governments, government agencies and international military/economic policies 🤦‍♂️

The NYT not utterly dropping the ball on coverage here is an interesting tea leaf.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

It's time to abolish Trump’s ICE.

Why Minneapolis? Because Kamala/Walz actually won the election. Why California? Because Kamala/Walz beat his orange ass. Why Chicago? Obama. Why Maine? The governor defied his unlawful orders. Any questions?

Anyone who starts a fire is working for ICE whether they know it or not.

Yes, that’s exactly it. The whole reason they’re there is they want revenge for the George Floyd protests

Obviously, it happened that way because people couldn't avoid derailing into the tired fake argument about "Video game violence!" instead of the very REAL and meaningful argument about propaganda and messaging. Oliver North played himself in a 'CALL OF DUTY' game. Remember that?

It's ancient history now, but there WERE game critics at the very *beginning* of the generational changeover of "grey/brown military FPS like Call of Duty" becoming THE dominant gaming genre in the 2000s saying "This will have a specific bad ripple effect" and it was widely shouted down. Oh well.

What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?

It's good that you're saying it, Senator, but... I mean, you're the Senator. Do something about it.

ICE just tackled a man, beat the shit out of him, and shot him in the chest while he was subdued and on the ground. They call themselves law enforcement, but it’s really a gang of murderous psychopaths.

Legendary Grammy Award-winning opera singer Renée Fleming has also withdrawn from performing at the Kennedy Center following the orange felon’s destruction of the arts, controversial directives and adding his disgusting name to the JFK memorial. Love this. 💙

If you’re to the right of Bill Kristol at this moment get off your ass.

To repeat: Abolish ICE.

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

Call your senators NOW and make it clear that their funding of ICE will not be tolerated. They are executing people in Minnesota. They are preying on children. Any Congress member who votes to fund them is complicit in these death squads.

I say this with love: no. Every person who doubts the atrocity should witness, so they understand. There is no need to watch if you read a description of the atrocity, register its moral significance, and commit yourself to speaking out against these horrors.

"abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved" is the moderate position

Like despite the cosplay, these idiots aren't the Army or even the National Guard, eventually SOME of them are going to think "I didn't sign up for this, I'm calling a Lyft home and pretending I didn't do this."

In a realistic best-case-scenario, the next "new" ICE storyline will be when the agents themselves start 'disappearing' because the sizable "I wanted the money" contingent starts abandoning gear/post/etc and trying to walk away from what's obviously gone out of hand

What the "Miller wing" of Team Trump wanted out of ICE was to goad people into 'freaking out' b/c the TV show they want is a replay of the Floyd/BLM "riots" (that never happened IRL) where they 'fight back this time' but since this is still reality there's no "riots" so ICE are the ones freaking out
