From Whittier a few hrs ago—after shooting & killing an ICE responder in Minneapolis, 37 yr old Alex Pretti, DHS agents brutalized a crowd that gathered & flooded the area w/ tear gas.

@andral404.bsky.social captured this moment against a building where a fed then pointed his rifle at someone.

Rick speaking like this should be noted. This is not how he posts.
Absolutely reprehensible that AG Bondi is offering ICE stand down in exchange for access to voting rolls. Outrageous and disgusting. It shows ICE is in Minneapolis is not for law enforcement purposes. Instead it’s a way to stir up shit in blue states and extort them.
In the wake of another fatal shooting in Minneapolis.
AG Pam Bondi sends Gov. Walz a letter today making several asks including:
"Allow DOJ Civil Rights division access to state voter rolls"

People are nervous about watching video, but this one is not of the murder, it's of the lead up, and people need to see it before the spin takes over.
Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.

Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.

There's nothing "moderate" about voting to give billions more to Trump's lawless and murderous secret police force. This is a morally repugnant and politically reckless vote by members who embarrass and weaken the Democratic Party.

🚨URGENT: The House will vote as soon as TOMORROW on increasing funding for ICE & CBP.

More funding with no accountability is essentially an invitation for these agencies to keep violating our rights.

We have to stop this. Tell your reps to vote NO on more funding: act.nilc.org/page/93101/a...

Republicans claim there’s no money to keep your health care costs down… yet give ICE a $75 billion budget, bigger almost every military across the globe.

Because of Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” the annual ICE budget — at $28 billion — is now larger than the annual budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Prisons COMBINED.

No. The American people do not want Trump's domestic army.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.
