Genuinely pretty alarming how many huge accounts insisted that the Alex Pretti video was AI instead of focusing on the obvious facts that it’s not justification for murder and that it raises additional suspicion that he was deliberately targeted.

here's the thing about this - nobody is ever responsible for this because the frost and PWHL will launder all of it through curl's on-ice performance. everyone involved expected it to be a non-issue because transphobia isn't considered a "real concern" among most of these people.
A little over a month ago The Athletic ran a piece on Britta Curl “clearing the air” on her transphobic social media activity.
Yesterday, Curl posted a video on Instagram with a brand called Fierce Athlete, who actively solicits donations to fight “transgender ideology in sport”

Agreed. I think it's even worse: many politicians don't WANT people to do more than give money and vote. They don't want people calling them about issues, questioning their decisions. I strongly prefer politicians who come out of activism, actually care about things, and want to involve community.
100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.
I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.

Meaning he was a known entity to them and this may have been a premeditated murder.
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”

A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.
The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force.
