A genuine hero. "Family members say the man killed by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis on Saturday was an intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in his city."

The UCP government should simply do the right thing and respect human rights, respect individual freedom, and respect medical doctors’ autonomy and professionalism. Rescind this discriminatory and hurtful legislation.

DHS says it “has body cam footage of the Pretti incident.” If the agency had real, untouched footage worth seeing, we would have heard about it days ago…you know, when multiple bystanders released footage from multiple angles showing a man being executed by their agents.

As a VA nurse, Alex Pretti was a member of AFGE. This union also reps Border Patrol, and may have repped Pretti's killer. I talked to VA workers who are furious and want Border Patrol out of AFGE. "For a union member to kill another is a fundamental betrayal of what a union is supposed to be.”
Alex Pretti’s Killer May Be Part of His Union
Border Patrol agents belong to the same federal workers union as VA nurses, a situation some of Pretti’s colleagues are determined to change.

Just to give a sense of scale for how many people are out here in the snow and cold, this is just the outer fringe of one half of a block of Congress Plaza, which is completely full.

Struggling to imagine who would go to this but someone should get a list up of theater numbers where it's being screen when they're up
So here‘s a question.
Why are Canadian theatres planning to screen Melania Trump’s 40 million dollar MAGA propaganda piece?
Can’t they read they read the room? Surely this is propaganda on behalf of an adversary?
Boycott time!

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

If all it takes is for good people to do nothing, stopping it begins the moment good people do something
So unbelievably proud of Minnesota for making it so loud and so clear that good people won’t be cowed, won’t stand for ICE terrorizing communities and neighbors - just so many good people, goddamn, there you are, I see you all
These headlines are in prominent, if not top slots on the largest outlets. By this alone, it has already been an incredible success.
