Not a “paid protester.”

Not an Antifa battalion commander.

Not “bussed in from out of state.”

A registered nurse at the VA who broke no laws and cared about humanity.

Murdered by the Trump Administration.

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:

CW: EXTREME VIOLENCE

I've synced up videos from both perspectives about as well as I can

Audio from both is included

They are both slowed down to ~.5x, zoomed in, and have their colors enhanced

The captions are from the pink lady's video on the left

I spent an hour watching today live. I had to disconnect from it for a bit.
Conclusion that's easy to reach is one I reached a long time ago: None of this should be happening, ICE shouldn't in the streets, the military shouldn't be in the streets, and the blame goes right to the White House.
I agree

I remember how I felt after frantically posting right around the time of renee good and - i was a little a little bit afraid to go back and see what the heck I said.

I'm trying to do the opposite.

Stephen Miller called the victim, an ICU nurse at the VA filming ICE, a “domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Greg Bovino said he “wanted to massacre law enforcement.” You saw the videos. How can any Republican not call for their resignations?

FBI supervisory agent Tracee Mergen in Minneapolis resigned after FBI leadership in DC pressured her to discontinue an investigation into ICE agent Jonathan Ross, who shot & killed Renee Good. An investigation following an agent-involved shooting death is commonplace. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/u...

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

You can tell the administration is serious about rooting out fraud in Minnesota by the fact they just forced all of the prosecutors working those fraud cases to resign.

Congress should pass a law requiring agents to show their faces, identify themselves, & wear their badges. It’s not agent safety we have to worry about these days.

End so-called Kavanaugh stops & admin warrant-based forced entry into homes too. Let’s have a Constitution.

America is now at the heavily armed secret police doing warrantless door-to-door house raids in search of undesirable ethnicities and/or political dissenters stage. The difference from well known historical cases is down to scale.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

In case people tell you that public criticism of the court doesn’t matter, here’s Brett Kavanaugh trying to walk back what he said in the ICE roving patrol case - when he blessed racial profiling & called the stops prompt.

He was lambasted; @akalhan.bsky.social coined the term “Kavanaugh stops”

This ruling is a big deal; the deployment of the guard was awful, harmful, and autocratic.

But SCOTUS isn’t all good now!!
You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to the Supreme Court

Brett Kavanaugh assures me this is the sort of minor inconvenience that shouldn't disturb anyone.
This is terrifying!

ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents)

This is Trump’s America.
