look at them. murderers itching to murder again but these people chose to stay, to film, to witness, to risk being next, to risk having their families targeted, their names dragged through the mud before their bodies are even cold. i wish they did not have to be brave but i'm grateful that they are.
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.

Alex Pretti was murdered while trying to protect a woman from being assaulted by federal agents

This is the pink jacket lady’s angle. (From Drop Site News)

Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.

Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

I wouldn't be surprised if they start using these lists to put people on the no-fly lists, audits by the IRS, etc. as retribution. Once a government starts making lists of its citizens like this, the abuses will inevitably follow.

The House Ethics Committee found that Matt Gaetz did all of the horrible things previously claimed—sex trafficking minors, prostitution (including of minors), drugs, drunk driving, obstruction, the works. The Florida Bulldog has secured and published the House report this evening.

Raymond Thomas Reynolds started off his day wearing a stars and stripes gaiter covering his face. By the time he and his fellow white supremacists were escorted to their cars, his mask was off and he appeared to be questioning the wisdom of screaming racist chants in Minneapolis. #MPLS

“There is no evidence of unchecked criminal activity in our community requiring a disproportionate presence of federal agents. [...] The consequence of law enforcement should not be chaos and violence, which only results in making Portland less safe."

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

'“The tribe does not intend to enter into an immigration agreement with ICE or Homeland Security,” Star Comes Out said in a letter. ... [He] said the detention of the four tribal citizens is a direct violation of federal law, various treaties and the constitutional protections owed to citizens.'
This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.
