Eyes on ICE: Document and Record · No Kings On Saturday, federal agents horrifically shot and killed 37-year-old Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who cared for veterans, in the Eat Street neighborhood of south Minneapolis after brutally beating him in...

Minneapolis Is a Second Amendment Wake-Up Call The federal killing of a Minnesota ICU nurse should worry every American.

"If you exercise your constitutionally protected right to bear arms, masked federal agents can murder you in cold blood, simply because an American citizen exercising their Second Amendment rights scares them." www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Yes, It’s Fascism Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.

Sure, there's no definitive definition of "fascist." But we're there. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A masked ICE officials with a 5 year old child

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Imagine if protesting was not actually a bank robbery, and that journalism was not a crime. Imagine if the people who were weaponizing the justice system to attack Trump's enemies took the constitution seriously rather than cooking their brains all day on social media.

It is a gorgeous spring day in Connecticut. Sitting in Southeast train, reading an endless stream of texts about Donut Lab. It is nearly midnight in Finland and people sit in darkness, texting each other: Donut Lab, Donut Lab, Donut Lab. A country in emotional turmoil.

Don't be hard on us here in home country. Prospect of a company that can potentially outshine Nokia by several orders of magnitude is refreshing in face of so many depressing economical news in past years. It's either our own Nvidia or Theranos, and we will find out soon, when those products ship.

Once everyone who deserves it has been impeached, prosecuted, or otherwise held accountable, I look forward to more discussion of the absolutely bonkers aesthetics of this:

the cowgirl outfit, the lectern draped in camo netting, etc.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.

The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.

This is not protection. This is occupation.

You can’t erase what was witnessed. Everyone saw it with their own eyes and ears.

An excerpt from The Washington Post's interview with photographer Christopher Anderson: Question: "Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor?" Anderson: "I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, 'Should I smile or not smile?' and I said, 'How would you want to be portrayed?' We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, 'You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.' And I looked at him and I said, 'You know, you do, too.'"

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

Apparent joint ICE / NPS checkpoint on Clara Barton Parkway Eastbound, between Cabin John Parkway and Glen Echo Park, pulling over construction vans.

Looks like ICE or someone pulling people over on Clara Barton parkway into DC this morning.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

In high school, I was complaining about how long the school day was and my teacher turned to me and said, "the days are long, but the years are short" and I was like "what the fuck are you talking about you lunatic" and then the bell rang and now I'm in my 30s.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
- Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed.

He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.
