Agents Suspended After Their Story of Shooting an Immigrant Falls Apart A judge dropped charges against the immigrant and another man after the top federal prosecutor in Minnesota said new evidence was not consistent with the agents’ testimony.

Hey remember the shooting in Minneapolis that happened between Renee Good and Alexi Pretti, the guy they claimed was shot by an agent after he had attacked that agent with a shovel? I know it's hard to believe but the agents' story fell apart and charges were dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/u...

James David Van Der Beek photo, looking

Our beloved James David Van Der Beek passed peacefully this morning. He met his final days with courage, faith, and grace. There is much to share regarding his wishes, love for humanity and the sacredness of time. Those days will come. For now we ask for peaceful privacy as we grieve our loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend.

James Van Der Beek, who starred in the teen drama series "Dawson’s Creek," has died at 48

Cambodian genocide survivor detained by ICE Sithy Yi was detained despite a pending visa application. She’s one of potentially hundreds of crime and human trafficking victims impacted by policy changes, attorneys say

Sithy Yi was just 9 years old when her family was approached at gunpoint by the Khmer Rouge, a violent regime that murdered and abused more than a million Cambodians in the 1970s. 🧵⬇️

Picture of Crispus Attucks who was the first American to die for the Revolutionary cause. "The first to defy, the first to die." Attucks was shot in the "Boston Massacre," the first fight leading up to the Revolutionary War. As the first person to die for the American Revolutionary cause, Attucks was buried with honor in the Park Street cemetery in Boston. "Crispus Attucks Day" was begun by black abolitionists in 1858; in 1888, the Crispus Attucks Monument was built in the Boston Common.

I did this as a series years ago for Black History Month but this site didn't exist so I'll share it all again here.

"It may take time to prove you're right, but you have to stick to it."
- Fred Korematsu

Jailed for refusing to abide by FDR's Exec Order 9066, he took his case against internment all the way to the Supreme Court - and lost. Remember him on Korematsu Day, January 30th. 1/

Japanese Americans who lived through WW2 like George Takei know firsthand what it's like to be targeted based on your ethnicity + wrongfully imprisoned by the Govt.

It was unacceptable then, and it’s unacceptable now. We refuse to have our taxes be used to repeat this dark chapter of U.S. history 🧵

At Sundance, Asian American stars like Kelly Marie Tran and Jimmy O. Yang spoke out passionately against the brutal, murderous actions of ICE toward immigrants and their defenders.

If you’re fortunate enough to have a platform, large or small, you should be doing the same.

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan 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 has 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."

Armed self defense is morally justified against lethal violence.

ICE needs to be held legally accountable, but in the meantime, we need to keep people from being kidnapped and murdered.

Consider community organizing to stop ICE from entering your community, or at least deter them.

Now: With double digit windchill, thousands marching in Downtown Minneapolis during a general strike. Marching and protest against the actions of ICE. Prince dance party outside First Avenue and the Prince mural - where there’s been many Prince dance parties before.
