Former Senator from the Commonwealth.
Fascists were convinced that Charlie Kirk would be their Horst Wessel.
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.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib.
He thought he was going to die.
Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors.
And a mob of agents killed him.

The deciding factor over whether a leftist or a liberal fights or flees from fascism is how willing they personally are to stand by their convictions and fight for them, not some abstract pissing contest over who read the better theory in their undergrad poli-sci courses

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

what I'm somewhat confused about on this website is what posters think Dems should do
should they make policy demands that unify their opposition instead of splitting them?
these read to me like pressing an advantage in the hopes of getting the GOP to break, which is the real goal right now.

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

If strong-form unitary executive theory is true and there’s no executive *branch*, just a president and a bunch of subordinates carrying out his will, then immigration “judges” and administrative “warrants” must be false in any way that carries constitutional significance.

One thing I hope people take the time to acknowledge: The sea change in public opinion has been achieved because violence, though encourage by a lot of people here online, was never once employed by the movement. Violence was solely the purview of the state and that is why the state is losing.

Right. Edina lady is welcome to the protest. Rauch would be too, if he'd just stop being a putz and put his shoulder to the wheel. If he's not willing to do that and needs to show us what a special boy he is, he can sit down and shut up for a while.
Let's dispense with this "people" nonsense and be clear that most of us see a distinction between an Atlantic writer sneering at those who warned for years that this could happen then coming around after the murders and the mom from Edina who shrugged it off then showed at a protest.

Beyond the post 2024 election and 1/6 coup attempt purges of their remaining merely conservative/non-fash editors, Fox News also sees OANN and NewsMax as threats to their business model and have reacted by making sure they don't get outbid on the conspiracy front.
Then there’s…this. This is a news article, not an op ed. I reviewed Fox’s December 2019-March 2020 COVID coverage in their online news section and it didn’t throw in shit like this, even since then they’ve deteriorated

They can't win if they act so abominably that they break negative polarization and also push non-voters away from them. And they won't have the loyalty of the security forces if they try to go full IRGC on peaceful protestors. It will get darker before dawn, but dawn will come.
A lot of Trump supporters voted to have masked federal agents hold US citizens down and shoot them in the back, yes. Many right-wing influencers have fantasized about things like that for years.
But other Trump voters did not. Don't know how many, but it's millions. And that's how the regime falls.

Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.
