Congressman Chip Roy of Texas declared open season on open carry. 2A will obey and surrender.
Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

This is the most eloquent, poetic, moving speaker I have heard in decades. Never met the guy. He has summarized our point in history & what our duty is, using the inflection point of Alex Pretti's execution. The last quarter of the clip is the most important, so stick with it all the way to the end.

"The executed this unarmed man, when he was not only defenseless, but he was easily controlled by multiple ICE officers."

Every politician who calls this “freedom” should be dragged back to the dirt roads they forgot. We are not the fringe. We are the foundation.
The working class is not your ATM, your cannon fodder, or your political theater. We are the muscle behind the myth … and we are wide awake now.

I’ve always expected there to be the silent shitheads. But the high volume stupidity on display in these United States is like watching drowning people refuse a life raft because they don’t like the color.

Wow! Powerful and succinct. Will 2A proponents obey and surrender? I bet they do. I bet they get in their knees and do whatever they are told to do.

DON'T MISS THIS BBC VIDEO ANALYSIS OF ALEX PRETTI'S EXECUTION.

Some new angles, especially the removal of the gun from Alex's waist holster, first agent firing the first shot, multiple agents standing back firing up to 10 shots total.

Good concise summary.

BBC Verify has analysed footage of the shooting from multiple angles, piecing together a detailed picture of what happened.

Then one fat ICE POS clapped right after he was killed. CLAPPED... this is what they are.

He was the antithesis of the violent Nazi pieces of human garbage that murdered him. They should all be arrested and charged with murder. Especially the scum bag that put shots into him after they all walked away and he had been down and was already shot. How can they spin that!
WTF??

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Bondi's letter—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after:

They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

STREET PROTEST- BANISH ICE
I forgot to take a photograph today but will take one on Tuesday when we go back to the college.

We live in a mixed MAGA-liberal area in the PNW. The response to the Renee Good/Alex Pretti signs was MASSIVE. Few MAGA middle fingers, but they have become VERY angry.
