#GVerse Chicago turnout this morning was INSANE.
Thousands hit the streets demanding justice for Alex Pretti and calling out the federal crackdown that killed him.
This isn’t “local unrest” anymore. It’s national.

Across the U.S., farmers are struggling. Prices for nearly every major crop are below what it costs to grow them. Farmers in Mississippi are perhaps worse off than farmers in the rest of the country. Rice is one of their biggest crops, and almost no one is buying.
Hard Times in the Mississippi Delta as Farmers Consider Letting Crops Rot

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

You can call it an “execution” if you want to, but let’s be clear on this…
Murder is a crime and is prosecutable.
Execution is a legal punishment carried out by the state after due process. There is no due process yesterday.
