It was an extrajudicial execution. Anyone who defends this is defending a police state.

Trump’s goons treat shooting at and tear gassing protestors like a video game, caught on national TV on a hot mic
One even clapped after Alex Pretti was killed

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

How do Democrats frame their arguments? For this piece, we interviewed a man who covered up a murder.
Trump is unpopular, but how do Democrats frame their arguments for a comeback?
Two veteran politicos, Rahm Emanuel and Gretchen Whitmer, have thoughts
In NPR video interviews. Worth watching on a snowy day.

This piece of shit war criminal can read the writing on the wall better than 90% of the elected Dems- what does that tell you
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

The moment the first agent pulls his gun: Alex Pretti is on his knees with three goons holding his torso. This is an execution.

Oh.

Trying to watch a Trump “press” conference is like watching a combination of Hitler in “Downfall” and Captain Queeg in “The Cain Mutiny” but without any of the entertainment value.

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.
Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.
ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

I hate to burst everyone's bubble but if you think that CBS News losing ratings or prestige matters to David Ellison, you're mistaken. Murdoch ran the NY Post for 45 years without turning a profit. They want these media companies to pump propaganda, not to get ratings or make money.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.
