I grew up with Alex Pretti
The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

All these people need to go to prison, at the least. We learned from Jan 6 that we need to jail everyone right up to the top, or they just come back after being pardoned by the worst president in American history.

Border Patrol is pulling out of Minneapolis. Bovino is ending his punitive tour of blue cities. Calls for Noem's resignation are mounting, even in conservative media. Senate Democrats are dug in now on refusing to fund DHS and ICE. "Abolish ICE" is now a mainstream position.
They are losing.

Mike Johnson has shut down the House of Representatives and has completely disappeared. If MAGA Republicans are as smart and righteous as they claim, they wouldn’t be hiding from their jobs, they’d be at work doing what they were elected to do.

Nomani is notorious for this kind of faux journalism.

This was our response: would it shock you to learn she didn’t publish it?

I wouldn’t have to beat you so hard if you simply complied with this beating
Over the last 48 hours, the talking point on the right has solidified; the only reason that we are seeing violent clashes against ICE is because of sanctuary policies and failure to cooperate from city officials who are fanning the flames.
Take a look; it's wild how quickly they're all adopting it.

My old college classmate, a part-time TikTok influencer, just openly wondered on Instagram whether something's wrong with her TikTok algorithm.
TikTok's sale to the Ellisons has been finalized. The best time to delete the app from your phones was yesterday; the second-best time to do it is now.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.
Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.
Well, here’s a link:

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

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.
