This is what Trump doesn’t want you to see. Trump and Vance pretend that Minneapolis is a war zone. I just returned and this is mostly what things looked like: Thousands of Americans coming together protesting in below-0 weather peacefully and embracing their community.

I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department. I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty. Impeach and remove Trump—now.

Americans are no longer being asked to choose a political party, a political side. Americans are now being forced to pick a side of *reality*. You either believe your own eyes or you believe what you’re told. And that is the scariest most frightening thing I’ve ever

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.

Alex Pretti was a Minneapolis ICU nurse who spent his days caring for and saving others. Today, he was shot and killed by a Border Patrol Agent. Alex’s life was extinguished by state violence. We must tell the truth about what is happening. My father warned us, “When evil men

This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital. The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message: “RIP Alex Pretti, he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he

IRAQ WAR VETERAN: “I wouldn’t do that in a war. There are no rules of engagement I’ve ever had that would justify shooting someone in that situation… and he shot an American citizen. This should scare the shit out of everyone.” (From Louis Laurant)

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see. Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him. It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

Edward Luce Maybe just maybe this will be an inflection point. I don’t think that means change will be easy but objective reality can be a powerful weapon …(sometimes 🥺)

They shot him when he was on his knees, his back to them, unarmed, and defenseless. Those who remember history are doomed to watch it repeat itself.

NYT video review confirms this. Pretti had a 2nd Am right to carry a firearm. He wasn’t pointing it at anyone or threatening agents. There is no legal justification for the execution-style shooting & no basis for DHS’s claim he was there to massacre them. He was a helper.

The only thing Alex Pretti had in his hands when the Icemen set on him was a cell phone camera. Like thousands of others citizens of Minneapolis, he was there to record their actions. We know this because others were recording, too. We have seen the video. Had they not been

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head. There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government

My mom was stopped and harassed by masked ICE agents while shopping at an outlet mall in Texas. Because she has an accent, they assumed she spoke Spanish and started talking to her in Spanish. When she said she doesn’t speak Spanish, they began demanding where she was “from,”

when they say that everyone should have a right to carry a weapon in public they mean only loyal Republicans have a right to carry a weapon in public. if you don't agree them politically and you carry a weapon then that's justification for them to shoot you dead.
