A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot. "They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets." "They had the professional demeanor of criminals." ht: @paulgraham.bsky.social

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this.

FIFA ex-President Blatter backs call to boycott World Cup. "For the fans, there's only one piece of advice: Stay away from the USA!" Pieth told Swiss paper Der Bund. #StopAmericanFascism #Wrldpoli🌐 #WorldCupBoycott🚫 www.dw.com/en/fifa-ex-p...

This is the democratic opposition party in Italy protesting against ICE involvement in the Winter Olympics in Milan

"My poll numbers have never been hotter!"

Imagine watching the president declare an entire African community unworthy of the American dream, while readily granting asylum to only white South Africans, and still believing this is about solving our immigration issues.

If your political party is making the argument that a guy with a gun is not allowed to defend a woman from a mob of masked men or else he's a "terrorist", I regret to inform you that you're the Baddies.

So basically Albert Speer’s defense at Nuremberg.

“To you this is murder?” “Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.” She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward. Stella is the best of us. 🇺🇸

“If you raise your voice, I’ll erase your voice.”

No shit, Stephen.

"Bovino to Leave Minnesota, But the White Supremacist Agenda is Still in Play" Bovino is the scapegoat for Trump's intentional reign of terror in Minnesota, but as long as Stephen Miller is in the White House, this is just window dressing. Dems must go on offense! open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

At this point, he's gonna have to release the full, unredacted Epstein files to distract people from all the murders

Some wishes do come true...

Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) is planning to fly to Minneapolis tomorrow. Ro Khanna flew in today. We've been telling Dems to do this last week. You have to be in Minnesota. You have to be with the people. You have to stand next to Walz and Frey. Coordinated effort, leadership, and pushback.

It’s time to investigate. I am launching a review into whether TikTok is violating state law by censoring Trump-critical content.

Chris Madel Republican candidate for Minnesota Governor: “I can’t look my daughters in the eye & say I’m running as a Republican, when they’re pulling over Hispanics & Asians because of the color of the skin — I did not sign up for that”

Many TikTok users recently reported problems uploading videos, sudden drops to zero views, or posts getting stuck “under review.” Almost all of those complaints involved videos criticizing ICE or discussing the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

America, We Are All Minneapolis open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

You have a First Amendment right to record videos in public. You have a Second Amendment right to carry a gun. You can exercise both of these rights at the same time, full stop.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

Exactly. We need to stop circulating these AI enhanced images. The video can stand for itself and we need to put out the truth even when the government lies.

Let them use these doctored up images….it will eventually be used against them. Using fake images on federal websites and to blatantly lie using these images as false witness to protect a murder is a crime.

Two goons with guns killing a guy holding a mobile phone. Unbelievable.

Where's Alex Pretti's phone? He was recording during his murder. Even though the video may not show much, the audio may reveal a lot. So where's the phone?

I never thought I’d see something like this in my time and in my country:

💯

Mamdani: "I call it murder because, after watching those videos, there is no other possible conclusion." What we have seen in Minneapolis from ICE is horrific. Americans are being asked to not believe their own eyes, not believe their ears. People want the truth.

This sums it up.

He carries an AR-15 too.

Didn’t have that on my Bingo card.

“I just checked—it turns out that Art. II, Sec. 1 of the Constitution of the United States does *not* say ‘The executive Power shall be vested in a bunch of sociopaths who think they can do whatever the f*ck they want and make sh*t up as they go along.’” — George Conway

The BBC is the world's most respected broadcaster. @bbcrosatkins.bsky.social is its most respected fact checker. Here he analyses, frame by frame, what happened in Minneapolis. Border Patrol removed Alex Pretti's gun, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 shot him — TEN times in five seconds. The Trump regime is lying to us.

Two former presidents felt compelled to comment publicly

Here’s TMZ with a headline every outlet that cares about the truth should have. www.tmz.com/2026/01/24/n...

WSJ says ICE is lying. Read that again…. The Wall Street Journal is calling out the lies
