Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

Statement from United
Association of Union Plumbers and Pipefitters (UA) General
President Mark McManus
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was our union brother, dedicated to helping those who served our nation as an AFGE member and ICU nurse at the Veterans Affairs hospital. On Saturday, he was doing exactly that: helping others, including a woman who was pepper sprayed. Alex was legally carrying a concealed weapon - as was his Second Amendment right - before he was tackled, disarmed, and shot in the back by federal agents who swore an oath to protect their communities. This state-sponsored murder has no place in our society. The labor movement was founded on the very idea of standing together in solidarity with our brothers and sisters to fight for a better future for all workers, and that includes our First Amendment right to peacefully organize and protest. Alex Jeffrey Pretti embodied what it means to be a union member and an American, from his dedication to serving others as an ICU nurse to his commitment to standing up for his community in Minneapolis. The federal government must listen to its citizens and stop the violence and chaos in our cities. The thoughts and prayers of our entire union are with Alex, his family, his union brothers and sisters, and the people of Minneapolis. Mark McManus General President, United Association

You’ll recall Dominic Cummings told that committee that Tory PRs could tell the BBC and ITV basically anything, no matter how plainly absurd it was, and their senior correspondents would read it out live on air as urgent breaking news

I think it shows the culpability of our mass media, which laps up these briefings & reports them & at no stage wonders, even now(!), if they're being used.

I stated weeks ago the autopsy would have final say. And, it appears it will. This is all a prosecutor needs. They don't even need any of the video that has been aired in the court of public opinion. We know who fired the shot. We know the fatal shot was from the side. ME should rule it Murder.

Renee Good’s autopsy destroys the self-defense narrative. She wasn’t a danger when Ross fired the fatal shot to her head from the side of her car. DOJ shut down the FBI probe, sidelined MN agents, and targeted MN prosecutors and Good’s widow. This isn’t justice — it’s a cover-up.

ICE secretly told its officers that any time someone has been ordered removed, ICE can break down their door.

It has been accepted for generations that the only thing which can authorize agents to break into your home is a warrant signed by a judge. No wonder ICE hid this memo!
May 12, 2025 MEMORANDUM FOR: All ICE Personnel FROM: Todd Lyons Acting Director SUBJECT: Utilizing Form I-205, Warrant of Removal On January 20, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion, directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to "ensur[e] the successful enforcement of final orders of removal." 90 Fed. Reg. 8443, 8444 (Jan. 20, 2025) (E.O. 14159). Essential to the removal of aliens subject to final orders of removal is the ability to locate and arrest them. To this end, certain supervisory immigration officers within both Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) are authorized to issue an administrative warrant, Form I-205, Warrant of Removal (Form 1-205), for the arrest of an alien with a final order of removal. 8 C.F.R. § 241.2(a)(1). All U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) special agents and deportation officers are authorized to execute Forms 1-205. 8 C.F.R. § 287.5(e)(3)(iii) - (y) Although the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has not historically relied on administrative warrants alone to arrest aliens subject to final orders of removal in their place of residence, the DHS Office of the General Counsel has recently determined that the U.S. Constitution, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the immigration regulations do not prohibit relying on administrative warrants for this purpose. Accordingly, in light of this legal determination, ICE immigration officers may arrest and detain aliens subject to a final under of removal issued by an immigration judge, the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), or a U.S. Arrow) district court judge or magistrate judge in their place of residence.23 ICE immigration officers should consider all available enforcement mechanisms, including the use of a Form 1-205 to arrest an alien in their place of residence, to achieve the requirements of E.O. 14159 in accordance with applicable law and policies. This guidance informs the use of Forms 1-205 and provides to ICE law enforcement personnel a reminder of the general limitations and exceptions that may apply when effectuating arrests in an alien's residence. General Guidelines ICE law enforcement officers receive extensive training on the legal and procedural requirements for making administrative and criminal arrests. ICE personnel must remain cognizant of all existing laws and policies pertaining to arrests when carrying out civil immigration enforcement actions. Prior to entering a residence to conduct an administrative immigration arrest pursuant to Form I-205, officers and agents must ensure the Form 1-205 is properly completed and is supported by a final order of removal issued by an immigration judge, the BIA, a U.S. district court, or a magistrate judge. This is essential because that order establishes probable cause. Officers and agents must also have reason to believe that the subject alien resides at and is currently located in the address where the Form I-205 is to be served.

Well, let’s note that British politicians have developed an astonishing number of huge blind spots in the 21st century, and most of them involve very rich and well-connected Americans and their proxies committing absolutely egregious crimes, without bothering to hide it.

HAPPENING NOW: In federal court in MN, DOJ is struggling to articulate why a person following an ICE vehicle — so long as they are obeying traffic laws — can be stopped for "reasonable suspicion" of a crime.

Judge Menendez sharply questioning that contention.

I feel like this is extremely relevant again

Not “this was not self-defense” but “this was murder”

Not “she didn’t run the ICE agent over” but “she was murdered while trying to drive away”

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

This is correct, seen from afar: a big problem identified in the BLM period was regular, intensive police sweeps of poor and black areas to search and arrest people at random for whatever minor offences could be found, a thing the cops do not do in richer, whiter areas. This looks like expansion.

Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸
