I thought of a great way to spread the word in Northern US about the general strike on Jan 30th.

Snow paint!

After killing Alex Pretti, the Trump regime’s propaganda is collapsing. They’re watching as the American people turn against them. People across the aisle know they’re being gaslit and are fed up. Now, Leavitt is backing off some as they try to course correct. But the damage is done—they’re exposed.

BREAKING: We are calling on DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.

So long as she heads DHS, we cannot trust that the agency has a leader that will keep our communities safe or be accountable to the public, our laws and the Constitution.

So long as Kristi Noem heads DHS, we cannot trust that DHS has a leader that will keep our communities safe from the violence we saw this weekend. Noem must resign.

Northern states have a megaphone the rest of the country doesn’t: snow. Write it where everyone can see it. Snow paint the truth. Jan 30 general strike. ICE out. Justice for Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It doesn't matter what the Constitution says. If the government can execute you on the street or in your own home on a whim, you have no rights. None.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution.

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.

A pediatrician who attempted to save the life of Alex Pretti, who was shot and killed by Customs and Border Protection agents, has alleged that agents denied Pretti medical care for several minutes after the shooting took place, then appeared to count his wounds rather than administer CPR.

“There was absolutely no need for any violence, let alone lethal force by multiple officers,” the witness stated.

I see the Independents who make up a third of our country are mad at Democrats too for not doing enough. I agree. I think the entire DNC needs to resign.

Peretti is a "model Republican":
1. He cared for veterans;
2. He defended vulnerable and assaulted women;
3. He legally owned a gun, but he didn't use it in combat;
4. He peacefully protested when someone was trampling on the freedoms of the state.

And MAGA disarmed and killed him.
