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.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Fury. Grief. Anguish. Locals on the frontlines of Trump’s attack on Minneapolis are speaking out following the killing of another one of their neighbors. We’re on the ground with @samveep.bsky.social tracking the aftermath.

While ICE is killing innocent people, teargassing babies and pastors, and kidnapping our neighbors to ship them off to foreign torture prisons, SEVEN House Democrats just voted with the GOP to give the regime’s secret police even more funding. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO...CALL THEM OUT! PRIMARY THEM.

Call. Call. Call again. Call.

You have Democratic reps and always feel like your calls don't make a difference? Well right now they make a difference. Call and keep calling.
So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.

There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.

Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.

24 hours. Go.

Release the Epstein Files. Call your reps: Democrats and Repugnants today. Demand the release of these unredacted files. Our country is being destroyed by the chief pedophile. Call 202-224-3121. Survivors are depending on you - make the call. Stop raping our children. Put them in prison. #Epstein

Since Congress passed a law requiring Trump to release the Epstein Files, Trump has:

- Tried to start a war with NATO over Greenland

- Threatened to use the military to suppress free speech in Minnesota

- Illegally withheld 99% of the files and heavily redacted the ones that were released

Many Democrats are demanding ICE Out For Good and drawing a line in the sand on the upcoming Homeland Security funding bill.

There are two important Democrats who have not: Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

We will not sit by while violence goes unanswered and our communities are terrorized.
