Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

The columnist Jamelle Bouie argues that the Trump administration’s immigration policy has more in common with ethnic cleansing than actual immigration enforcement.

Lots of good signs here, but I have to confess my favorite is a rebel alliance where they replaced the red insignia with blue and the Minnesota loon.

This is historic footage right here. Will be used to recall the shame of this fascism. And to recall the hypocrisy of white Christian nationalists who claim to defend freedom of religion.

Ice is intimidating medical staff.

They are present during patients' baths and private medical examinations.

Only 5% of those detained in Minnesota have violent crimes.

So 95% do not!
From protesting to donating to immigrant action orgs you can make a difference! More⬇️

"They're hunting our patients!"

We're in a national emergency. And we all need to step up.

I know that a lot of these legislators are busy & perhaps aren't seeing the extent of this tyranny, but if they're willing to give more money to ICE, they're nuts.

They are voting today.

There is a winter storm coming, that the NYT says is atypically powerful. Strange white homunculi assault random travelers, and are said to be ice itself.
This is George RR Martin's fault for not finishing the books.

This is why it isn't political for me anymore. It's more fundamentally civilized vs barbarity.
Eight minutes matters.
A pulse matters.
Denied medical care matters.

Doctors don’t speak out like this for politics or optics. They speak out when a line is crossed, when an oath is violated, when someone who could have been helped is instead left to die.

It’s utterly vile they have to do this.

They lie in the most venal ways, in the interest of cruelty, constantly.
We all want to get violent criminals off our streets, and the State of Minnesota has never wavered in doing so.

The federal government’s propaganda machine is taking credit for work that happened long before thousands of untrained agents showed up to put on a show for Trump.

@timothysnyder.bsky.social is sharing an extremely important #CupOfJoe. Drink it in.
As the state uses and normalizes violent forms of resistance, that makes it all the more important for the rest of us to use non-violent forms of resistance.

Ive said this before but I think it bears repeating in this moment:

If we lock ourselves in our homes and stay silent because we are afraid he will declare martial law,
Then we are already living under martial law.
We are Martial Law-ing ourselves.

Do not obey in advance.
Be as brave as you can.
