❤️Minnesota. ❤️ if you aren’t watching what Minnesota did today you are missing history.

They shot Renee Good in the face. They kidnapped Liam Ramos. They just executed a man on the street. Unmask them. Prosecute them. No more secret police.

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old. He was a licensed nurse. He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression. And they executed him.

ICE can't function without the private sector. Here are ICE's top corporate collaborators: Amazon/Whole Foods Target Palantir Every major hotel chain Home Depot Lowe’s AT&T Aramark Eastern Airlines Global X Omni Air Flock Systems Dell UPS FedEx Motorola Solutions LexisNexis

100% of actual Christ Followers do not support ICE. And shitty right wing “Christians” do not follow Christ; they use Him. MAGA rejects the Beatitudes and Matthew 25 bc they found an authoritarian pussy-grabbing messiah whose words they conclusively prefer to Woke Jesus’s.

Abolish ICE, abolish DHS, redistribute the other agencies, prosecute actual criminals, such as people who commit execution-style murders of Americans in broad daylight.

AOC has the best response to this shit: “They are asking you to give up your belief in your own senses and instead hand over your belief to anything they say…an innocent man (was) executed in the street.”

Logging off because if I see one more smug "if you're armed don't get into a confrontation with the cops" post I'm going to lose it. The guy peacefully put himself between an agent and a woman that agent was assaulting. That's it. It's all on video. Use your eyes and your brains.

Today is the tipping point.

Chilling notice that Pam Bondi is trying to "trade" the departure of ICE for Minnesota voter database. This is about trying to steal the election in 2026.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti:  “We are heartbroken but also very angry.    Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA

“Please get the truth out about our son.”

Cynics and defeatists share the same story as authoritarians do: that nothing is worth trying, the conclusion is foregone, hope is naïve, and attempts to resist are too small or futile. Don’t listen to them. Do not give up. Try. A better world is possible. We will win. We must.

Today DHS assassinated a VA nurse in the street, Bondi is attempting to extort voter files, and half the country is bracing on the eve of a potentially crippling ice storm with FEMA gutted. So what is the President up to? Having a movie night at the White House. He’s unfit.

If you're angry because Springsteen used to be really good, and the music was great, but his new song about Minneapolis is crude virtue signalling, and you wonder why he's changed, the answer is he hasn't. You have. Springsteen still has fire in him. You're an old reactionary.

From conservative oilman JP Bryan: “Those advocating for this insane project should stand up … so their names may be indelibly placed on that border wall and remembered forever in infamy.”

Zohran Mamdani and the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection have announced a "Click to Cancel" rule. The rule would make NYC the first city in the nation to ban subscription traps and force companies to make it just as easy to cancel subscriptions as it is to enroll.

140 police officers were beaten. With flagpoles. Batons. Baseball bats. Four died. Today the Justice Department erased the convictions of the men who organized it. And called it justice.

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history. Media giants are now threatening to do this. We can't let this happen. Pass it on.
