Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

"What stayed with Amundson most, was not the adrenaline of the moment but the realization that came while she was holding the agent’s head in her hands and keeping his airway open.

“I was hit so hard with the fact that this man would not do this for me,”

Living the golden rule anyway 👏

Journalists aren’t supposed to report “both sides.”
They are supposed to report the truth.

DHS is not telling the truth. Stop reporting their lies.

So far in Minnesota

They Shot a 37-year-old mother Renee Good four times, killing her, right after she dropped off her son at school.

Then Ice kidnapped a five year old.

Then ice kidnapped a two year old

Then border patrol murdered Va nurse.

Then Sec Noam went on tv and lied about it

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Absolutely! This is IMPORTANT! And they are telling us exactly who they are and what they want. Total control.

Yes.

In a world of ignorant haters, be a Susan B. Anthony.

Thank god

“ICE > MN”

Our fascist leaders explicitly declaring that their untrained paramilitary of goons, a two-decade agency whose massive budget funds thugs in hoodies and body armor with rifles, is more important than an entire American state of 6 million people.

Pete Hegseth praises ICE while demeaning the people of Minnesota

This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.

He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

Just an absolutely deranged thing for a member of the cabinet to say.

Even as the National Guard is deployed in a perimeter around half my neighborhood to try to prevent ICE’s campaign of violence from boiling over, ICE continues to send lurking cars of armed feds on patrol around the city and stage shows of force around the region. Insane. Unthinkable

So, hypothetically, if you were to make a solo-cup-in-chain-link-fence message over an overpass, you’d be putting in the letters backwards. And, again hypothetically, you might want a template for that.

Hypothetically.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity

California joins UN health network following US departure from WHO California said on Friday it will become the first U.S. state to join the World Health Organization's global outbreak response network following the Trump administration's decision to pull Washington ...

Thank you California for making sure we still have access to the World Health Organization even if this Federal regime thinks we don’t need it.

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old & was a licensed ICU nurse

He was recording ICE & helping a female protester after they shoved her to the ground

He was Legally carrying a weapon that ICE removed from him quite a few seconds before they shot him 5 times & executed him

"It’s parents worried about the safety of their daycare and schools. It’s neighbors worried about the family down the street. It’s anyone with a conscience—which is to say, it is everyone." www.welcometohellworld.com/there-is-no-...

There is no such thing as other people’s children It is intolerable

"We are out there in every place they are, showing them that every person in this city is one of our own, that there is no such thing as other people’s children, that collectively we are not afraid of staring them in the eye," @erikhane.bsky.social writes from Minneapolis.

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

network activity is way up today, presumably driven by ICE shooting Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

this hasn't been showing up in Bluesky Trending Topics. that is not intentional, and we are still trying to debug why it hasn't.

Bless you!

DHS is trying to justify the shooting/killing of a man in Minneapolis today. Once again, their narrative doesn't match reality.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.

The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

What are we even doing.

Warning
Violent images in 🧵

When you tell ICE & DHS agents that they have absolute immunity,

When you take FBI officials off the Renee Good murder case who then resign & lie,

And recruit Nazis given only 47 days of training

You send a message that murdering Americans is fine.

Bezos can rent the entire city of Venice for his wedding but can’t send a handful of reporters to Italy to cover actual news.

Priorities. 🤦🏻‍♂️
