The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)

This is a really incredible piece. Share it widely 🎁https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/01/minneapolis-uprising/685755/?gift=C-rzmQ8PsUHt15odxTKJDn7xrpPNxSpotkNz_P27oI0

"This is a criminal president and a criminal administration. This is straight-out fascism. This is about ending democracy. These people are destroying the Constitution. And if we say it in words that are any less blunt, we are not telling the truth." www.ms.now/the-weekend-...

I call on members of Law Enforcement to remember their duty to protect and serve the American People. Those who know what this administration is really doing and stand up to the tyranny. Those members of the FBI and DOJ that can blow the whistle on the corruption and lies.

ICE and CBP are Trump's brown shirts and they are not in Minneapolis to detain criminal immigrants. That's their cover story. The shooters in both murders were experienced, according to DHS. They have a plan to use violence to incite violence. So they can stop free and fair elections.

Bellingcat concludes that Pretti's gun was not discharged (unless their analysis is updated since I read it) www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

Can’t help but notice a lot of social media reports of Tik Tok censoring anti-ICE content in its first weekend under Trump-directed US management, and no mainstream news coverage thus far.

The arrest rate of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents (.5%) has been HIGHER than the arrest rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States (.4%). The really bad guys are being given guns and permission to arrest your neighbors.

CBP was harassing protesters in Minneapolis. There is NO evidence they were conducting a "targeted operation" to arrest a criminal.

Federal statements described the Alex Pretti murder as part of efforts targeting an undocumented individual for a violent or domestic assault, but no warrant details, names, or court documents were released in available reports.

No federal charges have been publicly announced or brought in connection with the specific “targeted operation” where Alex Pretti was filming.

Trump send CBP to arrest and kill US citizens in Minnesota to see whether the federal government can quash state power. The feds won't let the State investigate a murder of their own resident. That position cannot stand.

Trump thinks lots of snow and ice disproves global warming. A rapidly warming Arctic reduces the temperature gradient with mid-latitudes, making the jet stream wavier and more prone to trapping cold air masses over regions like the US. Trump, as usual, is wrong.

Scientists link climate change to factors like a warmer atmosphere holding more moisture for heavier snow and ice, plus Arctic amplification weakening the jet stream to allow cold air outbreaks.

Bellingcat documents the fact that essentially every claim made by DHS about the Pretti killing is an easily verifiable lie

Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Border Patrol agents conducted the targeted immigration enforcement operation and carried out the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on January 24, 2026.

Authorities have not released any information on indictments, arrests leading to charges, or court actions tied to the operation’s target—an undocumented individual allegedly linked to a violent or domestic assault. Why were the Feds pushing civilians to the curb?

No federal charges have been publicly announced or brought in connection with the specific “targeted operation” where Alex Pretti was filming.

We have a US city living under occupation by fascist presidential secret police right now.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

No notes

It’s hard to overstate how freakish it is for law enforcement who just shot someone to be shuffled off to other assignments with no investigative period at all.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month. Statement from Standing Rock:

The arrest rate of CBP officers and Border Patrol agents (.5%) has been HIGHER than the arrest rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States (.4%). The really bad guys are being given guns and permission to arrest your neighbors.

This is the message:

Curious why ICE and CBP agents are so brutal? Here's a useful explainer I wrote last week, before Saturday's outrageous murder, about how uniquely unsuited ICE and CBP are for this moment—and why they were so corruptible into Trump's own fascist secret police: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-101-ho...

We have a US city living under occupation by fascist presidential secret police right now.

ALEX PRETTI is on the ground, he has these thugs on top of him…the gun is no longer an issue…THIS IS MURDER! ICE IS MURDERING AMERICANS! THIS IS THE MURDERER OF ALEX PETTI

Trump deserves to live in his own rubble without a safe bunker to hide in when he gets scared.

Where is @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ???

Enough Dems have made the funding bill dead in the water. Now we need Noem impeached and ICE dismantled. Are there any folks outside Mike Johnson’s house?

Congressional Republicans gave Trump a slush fund for ICE and CBP in the "Big Beautiful Bill." Tens of billions of dollars that is still usable even during a shutdown. Democrats must make rescinding that money the price of any future govt funding, as Republicans did with IRS money from the IRA.

What "targeted operation" was (supposedly) going on where Alex Pretti was filming? Who was ICE/ CBP trying to detain and where was that person at the moment Pretti was killed? What was the role of the agents in that "targeted operation" and how did Pretti "impede" it by filming them?

Americans do not want ICE in their neighborhoods. Undocumented people are not dangerous. They are much preferable to trigger happy masked brutes in camouflage, armed with guns and chemical weapons.

Who has Alex Pretti's phone?

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming We're finally on our own This summer I hear the drumming Four dead in Ohio.

2/ "Initially, I was stunned. From what I could see from my apartment, there was absolutely no need for any violence, let alone lethal force by multiple officers." Document: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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.

Who was the illegal alien ICE was attempting to apprehend who was guilty of violent assault? Who are the agents who murdered an innocent U.S. citizen?
