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.

with the midterms looking like they are, the Democrats have an opportunity to put Joe Lonsdale, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and Mark Andreeson in fucking barrels with suspenders on them.

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

This ain’t the most conservative place in MN, but it has has a lot of centrist “stand with the cops” kind of folks.
The pendulum really has swung hard: "St. Cloud City Council punts on resolution supporting law enforcement, passes one welcoming all"

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Today's challenge, introduce yourself to a neighbor you don't know. It doesn't have to be politics, but we need to begin to know and trust those we live near
"We can do this. But it will not be easy. Even if all goes well, we still have three more years of Trump in the White House. And there’s no guarantee that it will. But whether American fascism triumphs is not a foregone conclusion either."
🧵 The people of Minnesota, especially Renee Good and Alex Pretti, have shown that American democracy still has a lot of strength left within it.

But the battle is far from over. The US is in a liminal moment, a time of transition. We can do this, but there's much to know and to do.

Since we published this, Pam Bondi's X account has started posting mugshots of Minnesotans arrested for impeding ICE/CBP. Sharing a defendant's photo publicly in this way is forbidden under DOJ rules
