So was it ICE that murdered Pretti and Good, or was it CBP?

This is also radical action anyone can do: take care of each other.

A Minneapolis man spoke truth to power while addressing Rep. Ro Khanna at the Alex Pretti vigil, declaring that even though they are peaceful, they won’t be silenced while state violence continues.

The seeming inconsistency on 2A gun rights the current US regime is exhibiting after the DHS murders in MN should remind us: authoritarians are about reserving rights *unto themselves*, not to the rest of us.

Something to remember while the news of Alex Pretti's murder is dominating the airwaves: there have been five other people killed during the latest "immigration"* crackdown. He's not the only one, just the most recent.

If this is the shit ICE is willing to do in public while the world watches, imagine what those fuckers do when there aren’t any cameras.

Watching & reading & listening to reports of ICE agents shooting people on the streets & DHS justifying it with "they had a gun" & I can't help but think of Ashli Babbitt.

Thinking about forgiveness today.
Dunno why, it's just what my brain has latched onto, for reasons unknown.
I think the concept of forgiveness has been pretty twisted up, & it isn't really what ppl commonly think it is.
