A moment of silence that ends with someone shouting "fuck ICE!" and the crowd roaring in response

signs left at alex pretti’s memorial in minneapolis: “i love you so much / i’ll miss you forever” photo with a friend, “i would have done the same. RIP alex,” a stethoscope and “we’ll take it from here, alex” and a tshirt for the minnesota nurses association

National Guard trucks pulling into parking lot across from the Whipple building tonight. J

The march is now passing the Chicago city hall / Cook County hall building. The chant goes up, "Minnesota don't you fear, we, the people, are right here"

these banners are printed with the coolest giant banner system ever, developed by @laborcamp on IG the letters are cut from insulation foam and rolled with paint

Two memorials in three weeks. 1.5 miles apart.

The feds deployed HC in Portland tonight and heavily gassed people and a neighborhood over people standing in a driveway that wasn’t even being used.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

ton of factors at play here and trying to boil it down to any one on it’s own will be inherently missing stuff- but it really is hard not to notice that once the victim is an average looking white man all the average looking white men in charge of the news realized they can just tell the truth

Friends don't let friends follow AltNPS

01/25 9:45AM Border Patrol is out in Los Angeles, sightings in Echo Park/ Silverlake and South Central. Please stay alert, get vulnerable people inside. Record everything and be safe.

new signs up every day

I cried in the car yesterday and apologized to my partner for pushing for us to move here. He stopped me and said "This is happening here because of the same reasons we wanted to move here. This is the place we should be."

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

rahm emanuel has relevant experience to comment on the trump administration, since they’ve both covered up murders for political gain

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September. They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police. If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

Concentration camp victims protest! The incredible bravery and fortitude and care involved in doing this ✊🏽 ‘some of them holding signs that included “Libertad para los niños,” or “Liberty for the kids.”‘

I'll also add, if you can't protest for whatever reason, replying to people on the ground at protest sharing content with alt-text and captions can be a good way to participate. I'm very pro team alt-text, but also have sympathy for how hard it can be to type in the cold for people on the streets.

This summer, my family went to My Huong Kitchen on Eat Street and my toddler grandson couldn’t have been treated better by the proprietor. Yesterday, she displayed all her humanity provided refuge and car to teargas victims. youtube.com/shorts/XxFvg... Give her your business! myhuongkitchen.com

yes.

The thing that haunts me the most at night is that they're going to kill another person in the next few weeks. They're going to kill another and another and another and another until we fucking stop them Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The virgin "we must slowly move moderate voters through moderate slogans" falling before the chad "the struggle illuminates the real relations of a society like lightning lights the pitch dark sky" Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

We don't know the true count of how many times agents brandished their guns at people in Minneapolis yesterday. But it definitely happened in multiple locations near 26th/Nicollet yesterday morning. Should go without saying, but will say it anyway—and this was after they just killed someone.

This is Minneapolis. Literally every corner along Lake St. packed with people holding candles, many singing, honoring a person who by all accounts was an absolute gem of a human, whose life was tragically stolen by a fascist, paramilitary occupation force.

-9F. Walking down sidewalk on 25th, block from memorial. Guy ahead of me, alone but w/ a Hamms at his side. Locals recognize this from a mile away. “Hamms huh!” “Yeah, you need one?” “Naw, thanks though. You local?” “Yeah woke up to gun shots” “Aw man, get some sleep huh” “You too” 01/24/26

Nation's largest nurses union repeats calls for ICE abolition, pledges to do "everything in our power to vote out any elected official who supports funding for this all-out assault on the health, safety, and civil rights of our people."

Minnesota says the US government will engage in a cover up: "The actions of federal authorities to date indicate Defendants will continue to withhold, destroy, alter, or conceal (or allowed to be withheld, destroyed, altered, or concealed) evidence, if not restrained from doing so."

If you want to support legal defense for people being detained, Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota is providing direct legal support to people in ICE custody right now. They're in the thick of it at the moment. ilcm.org

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Mourners gather at the site where federal agents shot and killed nurse Alex Pretti this morning in Minneapolis. 📸: @andral404.bsky.social

@lukeoneil47.bsky.social ‘s verse about this never fails to move me

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.

"Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard. Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds."

just punched me right in the heart

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.

-5°F in Minneapolis tonight. At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades. Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."

Cool times, normal times

National Guard has fully arrived. Franklin and Nicollet.

One of several aid stations in the area. This one across from the crime scene, providing hot pizza.

People quietly observing the spot where federal agents killed Alex Pretti, while about 50 yards away the crowd in the intersection lets out booming chants of ICE OUT NOW.

Yeah this is EXACTLY what they did after killing Silverio Villegas González here. The ICE agents who killed him walked around the scene, picked up dropped gear and a magazine, holstered their weapons, and then one drove their car away. Cops helped them out and never even asked their names.

Media: do not lead with the false government framing of what happened

the "and you're surprised by this?" guys have never been less vital than they are right now

In the past I have rolled my eyes internally at the phrase "we keep us safe" - but that's literally all we have right now as the federal govt executes our neighbors in public, on video, and lies about it. Local and state government appearing powerless to do anything about it.

From Whittier a few hrs ago—after shooting & killing an ICE responder in Minneapolis, 37 yr old Alex Pretti, DHS agents brutalized a crowd that gathered & flooded the area w/ tear gas. @andral404.bsky.social captured this moment against a building where a fed then pointed his rifle at someone.

Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.
