A partial government shutdown is increasingly likely following the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old ICU nurse by a Border Patrol officer, an incident that has hardened Democratic opposition to a Department of Homeland Security funding bill that includes money for ICE and Border Patrol.

Been reading that it’s mostly foreign posters, particularly some of the most egregious
That's fair. I admit I've never actually been on X/Twitter so I have no idea what it's like beyond what little I hear on news or other social media.

Glad I dodged being associated with it in any way, to be honest.

Hi Pete's Staff.

I am BEGGING you to take the extra step of copying and pasting the actual text from the bad place, instead of just posting screenshots. It's minimal effort.

Thanks, and please use your status and access to push someone -- anyone -- to do SOMETHING to stop this.

Love,

“The new conservative position on gun control is apparently that lawfully carrying a licensed handgun means you deserve to be executed in the street by masked federal agents.”

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.

Any second now, I'm sure.

He was a white guy, if that helps?

Hello? NRA?

In this video, it appears Alex Pretti is trying to protect another protester from being assaulted by federal agents when he is sprayed in the face with some kind of substance and then shot to death:

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God. Thank God we have video. Because according to DHS, these 7 heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against him or something. It's nonsense, people. It is nonsense and it's lies."

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

And they better. Republicans also have a responsibility to stop this terror and abuse of American citizens. Where are they? Call their office offices and demand they do their job.

The DHS defense of Pretti's killing focuses on the existence of the gun. But look at everything that happened before the agents discovered the gun.
DHS agents escalated: macing and mercilessly beat Pretti as he tried to protect two people being assaulted. None of that was remotely acceptable.

The hard truth for anyone filming wrongdoers is that the same tech that can hold the state accountable can also make ordinary people more visible to the state.

Filming ICE is legal but exposes you to digital tracking – here’s how to minimize the risk
Federal agents have pepper-sprayed, tackled and detained people recording their actions. If you post your recordings of agents, you also risk the feds tracking you and those around you.

We have to fight this at every level or we will continue to see people being gunned down who oppose this authoritarian movement in what once was a free country
The House GOP point person for election issues asked ten states how their voter registration systems verify citizenship.

The demands come as Republicans draft "an even stronger" version of the SAVE Act, which already sought to mandate proof of citizenship for voter registration.
House Republican demands voter roll info from states amid GOP push for suppression law
While the SAVE Act passed the House in April, it's been stalled in the Senate, where it would need the support of Democrats to clear a filibuster.
