Lastest episode of @strictscrutiny.bsky.social mentioned issue of repeated pepper spray use on restrained protestors (I *think* it was @kateshaw.bsky.social?). Given extremity of the ongoing horrors inflicted by ICE agents, this issue may be getting less attention but I hope people it won't be lost.

Every Monday I listen to @strictscrutiny.bsky.social while working out and today when they read the opening from Alex Pretti’s parents’ statement, it made me cry while doing lateral raises
Their compassion, dark humor & intelligence is why it is one of my favorite podcasts for these bananas times

I'm only about 15 minutes into this week's @strictscrutiny.bsky.social but I think we the public ought to be furious about the disappearance of Bivens actions. If we can't sue for violations of constitutional rights, then in practice, the Constitution doesn't mean anything. It's just words on paper.

We got back together to record a discussion of the events in Minnesota - the brutal murder of Alex Pretti, a caretaker who was out documenting ICE's abuse of his community & the most vulnerable people in it - whose last words were "are you OK" to the woman ICE was pepper-spraying alongside him.
NEW: We talk about ICE killing another Minnesotan -- Alex Pretti -- & legal battles & issues on ICE's occupation.
