If the outrage tht’s spreading around the country over Alex Pretti’s murder continues, as I believe it will, I’m hopeful tht his legacy might b that finally, finally, a few Repubs came 2 thr senses, more Dems woke up, & changes may finally happen. ICE must b abolished; a 1st step is 2 rein it in!

just watching some reporting about Alex Pretti, the person he was. I believe CBP/ICE chose the wrong person 2 murder here, in the sense tht he was clearly a helper, NOT a domestic terrorist. He was an ICU nurse at the VA hospital in Minneapolis…I am hopeful this may lead 2 chnge, at long last.

This is really impressive! Weather was awful in Chicago for much of the day!
#GVerse Chicago turnout this morning was INSANE.
Thousands hit the streets demanding justice for Alex Pretti and calling out the federal crackdown that killed him.
This isn’t “local unrest” anymore. It’s national.

#GVerse #Shit4Brains is either leaving office peacefully, or he's going to be forcefully removed. The U.S. Armed Forces have a choice: Either support the American people and the constitution — or a fascist authoritarian regime that is a facsimile of Hitler's Third Reich.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

This made me cry. What a beautiful use of the Minnesota National Guard!!!!
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

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.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Good for Walz!
Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands….
Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

Part of the issue here is that they percieve opposition as unfair. You’re supposed to let them win and kiss their feet. If you don’t, that’s not only unfair, but if you win, it’s a kind of cheating. Like a toddler you let win so they won’t have a meltdown. bsky.app/profile/jeff...
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.

Stupid question. He was a legal owner of a licensed handgun, whch millions of MAGA Trump supporters usually love 2 advocate. The fact tht he had a handgun on his body means nothing. He never took it out. All u have 2 do is look at widely shared videos 2 see tht. Irresponsible reportng, shame!

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
