“In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock
Take a moment, so much more…

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Minnesota needs impartial investigations, the departure of federal forces, and an end to the campaign of retribution against our state.

It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

Fun fact:
Matriarchy is not the female version of patriarchy.
It isn’t hierarchical like a patriarchy is, but with women on top.
It’s community focused and most especially focused on the well being of children. There is leadership, but it is communally shared.
Mind blowing, right?

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms.
We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.

Excellent Tim Miller.
A reshuffle of the faces in charge, and one guy leaving isn't even the beginning of being enough. We need ICE and CPB out of Minnesota. And we need fundamental changes in the behavior of ICE everywhere.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

🚨MIC-DROP: In a power move, Oversight Dem Rep. Robert Garcia demands Kristi Noem be IMPEACHED and says ICE “should absolutely be abolished”… and “not exist.”
He says the Senate must block DHS funding until ICE gets OUT of our cities. This is amazing.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
