3/ It is unclear which agent fired the initial shot, shortly before Pretti’s body went limp. They were reporting to Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino as part of “Operation Metro Surge.”

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

women & children scream for help inside a detention camp in TEXAS, where private prisons like core civic make billions of taxpayer dollars holding them while abusing, neglecting them, refusing them health care, feeding them dirty food & water, etc.

Republicans need to take a stand. This is an assault on the Constitution.

1st Amendment: peaceful assembly.

2nd Amendment: Alex Pretti was a lawful gun owner.

4th Amendment: unreasonable search and seizure.

You can’t call yourself a defender of liberty if you won’t defend it when it counts.

For decades, the biomedical industry has relied on a compound in horseshoe crab blood to protect medical equipment from contamination, saving untold human lives.

But conservationists say modern medicine’s dependence on this bloodletting is upending a globe-spanning ecosystem.
These crabs probably saved your life. Can we save theirs?
The medical world relies on horseshoe crab blood in the production of vaccines and equipment. A synthetic is available, but companies have been slow to adopt it.
