HOLY CRAP: New Epstein files. Here is an FBI report:

“Donald Trump had parties at Maralago called 'calendar girls' Jeffrey Epstein would bring the children in and trump would auction them off. He measured the children's vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness.“

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

Powerful. Brutal. Inspirational. A loving tribute to Renée Good, Alex Pretti & the good people of Minneapolis.
Plus, it name-checks all the villains: the Puppy Killer🐶, Pee-Wee German🇩🇪, the Orange Atrocity🍊💩 & above all: ICE🧊🚫

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

So, Trump just said Alex Pretti in Minneapolis should not have had a gun.It was in his holster and an agent pulled it put before they shot him. Minnesota accountability.Thought Trump was a big NRA 2nd Amendment guy; unlike his Democratic opponent.👀

Excellent Tim Miller.

A reshuffle of the faces in charge, and one guy leaving isn't even the beginning of being enough. We need ICE and CPB out of Minnesota. And we need fundamental changes in the behavior of ICE everywhere.

ALEX PRETTI’S PARENTS: “He was a VA nurse who cared about people deeply, and he was very upset with what was happening with ICE... kidnapping children, grabbing people off the street — he knew it was wrong. He loved this country."

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Law enforcement officers are trained to de-escalate conflict. These guys seem to be doing the exact opposite.

Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded (Gift Article)
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

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.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

Let the picture of the little five year old boy standing facing the car and the old man being dragged out of his house with no shirt on, let those images burn into your brain. We don’t have to be this country. We don’t have to live this way.

Donald Trump was a choice, Republican voters made for us.

Trump says we never got anything from NATO. What an uninformed person of my age. Remember the Cold War after WWII US vs USSR didn’t become a Hot War because of NATO—Western Europe stood with the US against Soviet threats and aggressive policies. The USSR had Eastern Europe (Warsaw Pact) vs NATO/USA

Trump is such a dummy—if not for US, Switzerland would be speaking German. 🤪🤪🤦🏼‍♀️
January 21, 2026 at 3:29 PM
OK—need to remind Trump that to some of us he is a descendant of immigrants. I’m the descendant of colonizers on both sides. We were here by 1680. So, maybe he needs to be deported🤪
