happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

I stand with Alexander Skarsgård...is that a thing

Alex Pretti's coworkers taking a moment of silence to honor him

Target's incoming CEO tells staff violence in Minneapolis is 'incredibly painful' — without naming Trump or ICE Target's Michael Fiddelke told staff in a Monday video message that the "violence and loss of life in our community is incredibly painful."

Incredibly painful but no mention of Trump or ICE? Fuck Target!

“The Homeland” Is War on America: The Blood-and-Soil Nationalism That Killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti In the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Trump has clarified an inconvenient fact: the culture war is an actual war.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: With the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, "Trump has clarified an inconvenient fact—the culture war is an actual war"

One thing that struck me from Pretti's execution video was what happens first. A thug shoves a woman from behind, pushing her to the ground. Alex helps the woman up which seems to enrage the agent/thug. He asks the woman if she is okay, then turns to verbally engage with the thug. Who is this woman?

Thank you Mina for posting this. So important for people with media influence to take a position. Neutrality is complicity. I am from the era of Jim Brown, Ali and Bill Russell and wish more athletes spoke out.

Not enough fucks.

Alex Pretti - who DHS labeled a domestic terrorist - honoring a veteran that passed away in the ICU.

Fuck fuck fuck. We should be even angrier than we are.

It's so great that you are speaking up, Sarah. We need more of this from leaders in media. I am from the era of Bill Russell and Ali, and wish more of our current athletes used their public platforms to take critical stances and call for justice.

Donald Trump confuses Iceland and Greenland multiple times in Davos speech "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you," the president said in a remark that appeared to be about Greenland.

Iceland...Greenland. It's the new 6-7!

Nails it!

Nobel Prize for literature. After gifting the medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels in 1943, the whereabouts of Hamsun's Nobel Prize medal remain unknown.

The Virgin Democratic Party Establishment Candidate: "ICE isn't coordinating with local police. This is no way to bring down prices!"

The Chad Episcopalian Bishop: "I have instructed my priests to prepare for martyrdom."

Renee Good’s last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: “Fucking bitch.” And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.

and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle.”
Standing in front of a moving vehicle is called “officer-created jeopardy/ danger” and is not an excuse.

(1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury …

From Title 1, U.S. DOJ Policy on Use of Force:
“Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless:

Barnes v. Felix (U.S. Supreme Court, 2025)

An officer cannot manufacture a threat by placing themselves in harm’s way, like jumping in front of a car trying to get away, and then claim self‑defense just because the car moves toward them.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Make that 4-1!

Resistance and change starts with one or two brave people.

Mike Nellis (@mikenellis) This is the best messaging I’ve seen from any Democrats on the shutdown. Kudos to AOC, Bernie, and their teams for putting this out there.
