#EPSTEIN survivors
Listening to the Attorney General of our country sitting as a witness in an Oversight hearing screech, scream and call sitting Representatives “that woman,” and refer to a Representative who is questioning her as “she” is truly a testament to how low Trump has brought all our institutions.

Rump is using the his #ICE paramilitary force, "to carry out his own personal grudges, to inflict pain and violence, and discomfort on people that he sees as his political enemies.”

The First Amendment fully protects our right to record ICE agents, police, FBI, National Guard troops, and other government officials performing their duties in public.

The First Amendment protects your right to take photos and videos of law enforcement officers performing their duties in public.

“This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will. We will find you. We will achieve justice.”

A push to double the ICE workforce, and reduce training (again) for recruits, raises concerns about the qualifications of quickly deployed new agents.

An extraordinary document. Read it.

“Attached to this order is an appendix that identifies 96 court orders that ICE has violated in 74 cases. … ICE has likely violated more court orders in January 2026 than some federal agencies have violated in their entire existence.”

This is a terrific piece of rhetorical construction that also happens to be a very good point. A lot of us have been heartened by the courage and integrity so many Minnesotans have shown over this past week, in the face of intimidation and spiteful violence.

We’ve placed the available videos of the shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis today into the same synchronised timeline and are continuing to analyse further.

The sound is bad:
But, this eyewitness says he served two combat tours & never saw anything like this. It reminded him of Isis videos. He said six men had this guy on the ground pinned, &then they shot him execution style. Share this video everywhere so that evidence doesn’t disappear.

Execution
Holy shit.

He was filming. He went over to help a lady that ICE shoved down. Agents engaged him.

His hands were on the pavement when he was shot.

He never had his hand on a weapon.

Cold blooded murder.
NEW VIDEO: this appears to be the footage from the woman in the pink coat.
