They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

We always thought that green away shirts wouldn't be allowed for quite a few games this season, but I do like seeing black and white on the road (though I doubt the university will be too pleased).

And, to the extent it matters, the video does not show Pretti "spitting in the face" of anyone – a reverse angle shows he spat on the unmarked car, and vented his rage at the agents 6 day after they murdered Renee Good, a few blocks away, as we reported www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

After Alex Pretti’s Murder, it’s Clear That MAGA Media Views White Liberals as Race Traitors
