Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals.
Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.

HEY MEDIA: I think when pro sports teams are holding memorials for the people the administration has declared terrorists, it’s safe to drop the “accounts differ” pretense and move on to “the administration attempts to smear the man it murdered”

This woman was five feet from Pretti when he was shot, she's scared to go home because of what they'll do when they find her, and, despite this, she is determined to bear witness. She is the best of us. There is hope as long as there are Americans like her

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Holy crap.
This is the most damning video yet.
It shows Border Patrol agents clearly taking Alex's firearm, running it away, and THEN executed him in cold blood by emptying a clip into his face.
Murder.

I’m completely fed up with elected Representatives saying shit like, “Republicans will tell you behind closed doors that they don’t agree with what ICE is doing”.
Playtime is over. Professional courtesy no longer exists.
Name them, record them, and make it public.

They wheeled this Nazi asshole into court in a wheelchair and he was still trying to hide his face in shame 76 years after World War II ended. That's the kind of commitment I'm looking for.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.
