Imagine what’s happening in the camps.
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

-5°F in Minneapolis tonight.
At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades.
Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."

Hundreds more people just marched up to join. Some bonfires going. Copious handwarmers being passed out.

Memory is a fragile thing in this moment, so it is important to keep in mind that Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his caucus against ICE funding earlier this week.

Democrats who voted to fund ICE, for ANY reason, are fucking collaborators and must be primaried. Democrats who don't do anything in the wake of yet another murder be ICE must be primaried. Governor Walz must be pressured to do more than send a strongly-worded letter. Otherwise We The People will.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

Feds now say they don’t even need a warrant to kick down your front door and also real warrants are no good at their murder scenes.
Multiple officials of the US federal government are spending their day rather blatantly obstructing Minnesota law enforcement and covering up a murder.

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

Kyle Rittenhouse was on Infowars the day after the Renee Good shooting saying he had heard on X that Renee was putting cigarettes out on her kids. This wasn't true. This is a government by and for school shooters and their apologists.

if you’re bobbling about like this with your head inside of your ass pretending not to know how a fucking death squad works YOU SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED TO KEEP THE PUBLIC SAFE
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz: "I don't know. You kill a man and then you just leave? You're law enforcement and you just leave? Is there a single case in American history where you just, like, walk away and say, 'I guess that just happened and we're not going to clean up our mess'?"

Yeah this is EXACTLY what they did after killing Silverio Villegas González here.
The ICE agents who killed him walked around the scene, picked up dropped gear and a magazine, holstered their weapons, and then one drove their car away.
Cops helped them out and never even asked their names.
