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.

Hundreds marched through San Francisco Saturday evening in solidarity with Minneapolis after federal agents shot and killed 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti. It was at least the third shooting involving federal agents in the city in three weeks.

I've been playing Pikmin Bloom and it is keeping me calm during all this. I walk. Plant flowers with my Pikmin and join mushroom battles. I did make some in game purchases and my son said the micro transactions are taking me over. 🤐

Kash Patel claims Walz telling Minnesotans a couple weeks ago to film DHS "to create a database of the atrocities" is rhetoric that "is leading to violence against law enforcement" and should be investigated

Worth noting that the @wsj.com has joined with the @nytimes.com and Bellingcat to say that ICE is lying in its description of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The video evidence more and more supports the view that this was a gratuitous execution. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

The Republican numbers on these polls are never going to move - what's going to happen is that in a few years, nobody will have ever been a Republican.

Shooting mothers, nurses, while arresting priests and toddlers - this is what comes of that. Their terror campaign is completely backfiring on them. People aren't backing down, they're just getting enraged and radicalised.
YouGov is out with a new poll after ICE killed another person in Minnesota today. Abolishing ICE is now +5 among all adults, and **+12 among independents**

There’s no way around this: They will lie to justify the killing of their political enemies. They are doing it. This is a fascist regime.
It is also a weak and unpopular one, and it won’t last.

Noem:
"An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently."
Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit.
Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

I've been carrying my passport card with me ( I have both a book and a card). Today I went on a SF City Guides tour of Chinatown which explored the horrible racism they lived under. One of the things was that people had to carry their papers. I commented nothing has changed.

Umm... I have to say something... Wuthering Heights is not a romance novel. It's a story about one man's revenge against two families he feels wronged him. The novel has elements of Gothic romance, but Catherine and Heathcliff are far from romantic. 💀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bf_...

I've seen some folks giving into doomerism by citing the US's history of paramilitary violence shutting down fair elections in the South, and I want to add some historical context to support Jamelle here (as an historian of Reconstruction paramilitary violence)
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Ah well. Can't disagree here really. Americans did vote for masked agents of the state to kill innocent people, whether they understood that at the time or not. Too bad they didn't listen to anyone who tried to explain it to them bsky.app/profile/atru...

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular.
From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.
