"When one fed attempted to blow off the crowd by visibly watching basketball highlights on his phone, a protester shouted “You’re watching ads, you broke bitch! Kill yourself!” The federal agent returned to his room shortly thereafter."

Police Chief Lex Bell said if ICE tries to conduct warrantless, door-to-door operations in Moab as it is doing in other communities, MPD will not just “sit back and let that happen.”

Empathy is among the most important pillars of civilization. People who have no empathy for others are themselves barely human beings.

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

BREAKING: The Senate just passed SB 5855, Senator Valdez's bill to bar law enforcement from wearing face coverings.

In the United States, federal agents are roaming around with masks. We just can't get used to that. This bill must move quickly to my desk so I can sign it into law.

It’s the 1990s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see at Ruby Ridge and Waco reflect entrenched practices of law enforcement.

It’s the 2000s. I’m trying to explain many abuses we see under the PATRIOT ACT reflect entrenched practices of American law enforcement.

It’s 2025. Guess the fuck what.

Not to be snarky, but if he's dead, I'm wondering what will happen.
Otherwise, this.

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Yeah, they straight up murdered him with intent
It appears that this video is legitimate, as the BBC has confirmed that they reviewed and analyzed it for the The News Movement and verified that it is Alex Pretti.

And it doesn't change anything whatsoever about what happened to him, nor justify it.
