Whenever I see things like this I save them to an album I named “for posterity” I hope one day these people will be rightly judged by history, the court of public opinion & hopefully criminally convicted (but not holding my breath) so I can reshare and folks will never ever forgot these faces

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank: “I received secretive orders to teach new cadets to violate the Constitution.”

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

From a Recent Wired article. The idea that reforms will fix this is such a pipe dream. The fact we have senators still spouting this rhetoric confirms we are cooked

McIVER: Do you consider yourself a religious man?

LYONS: Yes mam

McIVER: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?

LYONS: I'm not going to entertain that question


McIVER: Do you think you're going to hell, Mr Lyons?

“Opposition” party. That’s a good one 😆😭😭

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour WATCH: Minneapolis resident and U.S. citizen Aliya Rahman describes being detained by ICE

I’m sharing Aliya’s entire opening statement. We owe it to her, and those who no longer have a voice, to watch. youtu.be/zrcW8SZtYpI?...

I think it’s important to differentiate between the democratic base and those currently in government. The ones supposedly representing us are not reading the room rn. Also Historians and experts on fascism and authoritarian regimes have BEEN leaning towards this for a while.

YouTube video by MS NOW Snyder: Trump administration using words like ‘terrorist’ and ‘extremist’ is what tyrants do

"In order to build tyranny, you have to open zones where the law doesn't apply... one zone like that is the border. The logic of what they've been doing with ICE is to take the border everywhere."

It’s not a competition btw, but if this isn’t at least in your thoughts after mentioning Renee Good and Alex Pretti, then we still have long way to go…it’s also not just about killing but about adults and children being kidnapped and traumatized. Things that will have lifelong effects on so many

I expect this from the GOP, but we need a real opposition party and you are not it. You will not be missed. I’ll also make sure my kids remember your name so the same mistake does not get repeated.

Glad to see you getting ratioed so badly and that you’ll be remembered as one of the traitorous 7 democrats (although let’s be honest, the majority of the party is useless rn)…

My senator, doing the bare minimal as per usual. If you really want to serve your constituents you would resign and let someone else represent us who is actually willing to fight. This milk toast energy is not was is needed rn

stop taking corporate money (this is a huge one) stop supporting Israel and sending them money, stop doing politics as usual and posting strongly worded statements. Take some real and meaningful actions. So many things yall could do but you don’t.

This happened because of the people, not because of politicians. I don’t have faith that we will have a true opposition party any time soon. But perhaps more of you will actually recognize the urgency. Abolish ICE (they can’t be reformed), obstruct the GOP at every turn…cont

ICE Unloads Immigration officers speak out: “Fuck this.”

I interviewed over half a dozen ICE and Border Patrol agents who describe an agency that sounds like Reno 911!

“I thought federal agents were supposed to be clean cut but some of them pass around a flask as we are watching a suspect,” one told me:

Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

And don’t lose sight of the goal and keep the pressure on. It’s looking like they will throw Bovino under the bus & likely Noem along with others for optics. But remember, they were willing to disregard the law with impunity and they will find others who will do the same. Abolish🧊

Because umm…where else will they get their funny cat videos 😒

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Maybe you should call your senator so they can do something about this…oh wait….

YouTube video by CBS News Minnesota official says federal investigators blocked access to shooting scene
