Occupied Minnesota Minneapolis right now reminds me of what I've seen during my time in the West Bank.

"As someone who has spent a significant amount of time in the West Bank of Palestine, I know an occupation when I see one—and what is happening in Minnesota right now is an occupation."

Key Witness in Alex Pretti Shooting Says Feds Are Totally Ignoring Her Minnesota resident Stella Carlson says no one in the federal government has reached out to her while investigating the shooting.

Minnesota resident Stella Carlson, who filmed federal agents shooting and killing Alex Pretti, still hasn’t been contacted by the government days later.

“Feels like a cover-up to me..." Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said on Tuesday. trib.al/IvqzsaT

Help us to end new coal mining in England. Take action now The Government has finally listened to us and is recommending that English planners should not be able to approve new coal mines. It is now incredibly important that we back that proposal by showing o...

This.

The regime thugs are trying to use the murders to cause the surging opposition of the citizens peacefully resistance to stop out of fear or being executed as well.

Call your congressman, demand accountability, do not pass DHS funding bill.

Thank you Leah & Ezra💙
THIS HAS TO STOP!🛑✊🆘
Decent innocent people are being murdered, kidnapped, tortured & harassed for expressing their 1st Amendment rights!
DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY - USE YOUR VOICE & REFUSE THE LIES & INJUSTICE! #RESIST #Minnesota #ICE #Pretti
#TRUMP IS ATTACKING AMERICAN CITIES!

Second direct witness to Alex Pretti's killing comes forward.

Court declaration:

"I saw him yelling at the ICE agents, but I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind.
Suddenly, an ICE agent shoved him to the ground."
🧵

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

The stabilized version is brutal.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

"The real domestic terrorists – they're in the White House right now. They're people like Stephen Miller. They're people like Donald Trump. They're the ones who are terrorizing these communities..."

Senator Chris Van Hollen

🔥 Tennessee’s own sheryl crow bringing it

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

NRA @NRA This sentiment from the First Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California is dangerous and wrong. Responsible public voices should be awaiting a full investigation, not making generalizations and demonizing law-abiding citizens. Quote F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli @USAttyEssayli · 15h If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you. Don’t do it! x.com/dhsgov/status/… Readers added context The U.S. Constitution (particularly the 2nd, 4th, and 14th amendments) prohibit officers from shooting citizens merely for possessing a weapon that is not an “imminent threat”. This was reaffirmed in Graham v Connor, which says force must be reasonable.

Even the NRA is not having it. Bill Essayli is the makebelieve US Attorney for LA, who was already DQed by a judge.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

Please share. 💔

All to please a wannabe king who is demented and thrives on violence.

Walz: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this.

As I told the white house in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period.

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand

I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time.

The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets.

I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

Holy shit.

Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.

nursesonja • 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control. This is about total control. O240 Q5 G34 → 21

The nurses are pissed

Lawyers, legal advocates march through downtown Portland to protest ICE arrests Friday's march from Deering Oaks park into the Bayside neighborhood was the latest of several 'rule of law' gatherings held over the last year.
