They can’t fathom that people have come together because they care about their community, their neighbors, and their nation.

Not because they’re getting paid.

A total lapse in humanity and imagination.

What a sad & blatant lie.

Reporter: ''So you agree that people who break in and vandalize a building should be prosecuted?''

JD Vance: ''Yes''

Let's also bring in the connection with tech giants: Google hosted a CBP app that used facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group.

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

Actually, it appears they’ve now lost the NRA..

NRA “disavowed statement from U.S. attorney who said law enforcement authorities would be legally justified in shooting someone who approaches them while possessing a gun, calling remark ‘dangerous and wrong.’”

When the Vice President tells law enforcement they’re above the law, people die. A U.S. citizen was killed in cold blood and the message from the White House is clear: zero consequences. This won’t stop without accountability.

Remember, in his first term Trump asked military leaders of protesters:

“can’t you just shoot them.”

Back then his officials refused. So he found ones who wouldn’t.

This is what he’s always wanted. It’s not an accident. It was his vision. www.npr.org/2022/05/09/1...

This is absurd to put all of those CBP agents involved in the murder of Alex Pretti back onto the streets already.

They pose a very real, proven danger to the community.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru... #ProudBlue. For 50+ years Republicans have defended a 2nd Amendment right to ’keep and bear arms“. Until yesterday. Noem and Bovino made clear legally carrying a weapon is justification for the federal government to murder us in cold blood. Totally unconstitutional
Trump administration goes after Second Amendment rights in justifying Minneapolis shooting
A number of pro-gun rights Republicans pushed back on the administration's argument that Alex Pretti was dangerous because he had a gun. Pretti was legally licensed to carry one.

What’s happening in Minneapolis might be the template for what the Trump admin wants to bring to your hometown next. How they resist should be your template too. trib.al/vHJIBAq

Sign up for the ICE watch that’s happening near you—because ICE is almost certainly already there.
The Key to Minneapolis’s Successful ICE Resistance
The city’s rapid mobilization against ICE was aided greatly by a community with well-worn connections and a tradition of mutual aid. You can—and should—start building this resilience where you live.

The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you.

Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

Minneapolis is going to win. Can’t you feel it?

They have no support, even the most timid equivocators are quietly shuffling out the back door. All they have is guns. They can hurt us and they can threaten us but there is no road to victory for them.

It’s a quagmire and they’re suffocating in it
