I mean even the fucking White House is backtracking (however slightly). If Dems EVER had a moment to get their messaging right... it's now. Executing US citizens and kidnapping children is not law enforcement.

If a non-citizen neighbor gets kidnapped by ICE, you supposedly have about 4-5 hours to file a habeas petition in Minnesota to prevent ICE from shipping people to Texas. They are moving people that quickly regardless of whether or not they have legal status.
ICE detained hundreds of thousands of people last year, shuttling them between jails and detention centers around the country, limiting access to legal support.

Today we remember the Holocaust, not as distant history, but as a warning.
It was made possible by propaganda, scapegoating, and the acceptance of injustice. By institutions not resisting.
We must remain vigilant — especially when familiar patterns begin to reappear.
Never again. Hold the Line.

Even presuming this is true, possessing a gun is completely legal if he had the appropriate permit. They're not even claiming he pulled it or brandished it, just that he had one. That's no reason to execute someone.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
