Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy
This is from Georgia Fort’s video.

DEA?!? Gotta be a “task force.”

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

🚨 BREAKING: Don Lemon was arrested in LA following a protest connected to a disrupted church service in Minnesota.

This is an assault on independent journalism. Think about it. The right has tightened its grip on large chunks of mainstream media, but it can’t fully control independent voices.

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

They won’t reveal who Alex Pretti’s murderer is because he’s probably a pardoned J6 proud boy.

Best as I understand, Pam Bondi did not intervene in the case of a Jan6er, Christopher Moynihan, who threatened Hakeem Jeffries.

She has not intervened in case of Christian Joel Young, who assaulted Maxwell Frost.

But is intervening in the case Trump weighed in on, the Ilhan Omar attack.

Here’s a podcast that does a good job of laying out what’s at stake, and why all of us need to get off the sidelines to demand change.

Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop?

Yes, liberals have guns too. You don't hear much about it because we treat our guns the same way Republicans treat abortions. We have them, but we just don't talk about them.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

The strongest qualification Kristi Noem had to build the kind of terror squad Trump wanted, was that she shot her own dog rather than take the time to train it.

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.

His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.
They are wounded and flailing. Press the advantage.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

"My guns keep your rights safe from an oppressive government."

No. They don't. You'll get executed for the crime of being armed while not a Federal agent. You'll make the tactical decision to not shoot.

They allowed insecure people to feel powerful.

We sacrificed school children for this myth.

At this point, the media should start ignoring any description of the circumstances of government violence offered by government spokespeople.

A man was shot at a protest. That's it. Don't publish any qualification the government offers until you have evidence that supports or refutes it.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."
