No civil rights violation probe into latest MN shooting, sources tell MS NOW As DHS takes over the federal investigation, current and former law enforcement agents warn that Trump’s DOJ isn’t committed to facts or fairness.

Breaking MS NOW:

Trump's Justice Department has decided there will be no civil rights investigation of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, and instead two units of DHS will investigate their own officers and the man they killed.

tRUMPSTEIN IS DESTROYING OUR CONSTITUTION!!

1st Amendment: GONE
Right to Assemble
Freedom of Religion
Freedom of Speech
Freedom of the Press
Right to Petition

2nd Amendment: GONE
Right to Keep & Bear Arms

4th Amendment: GONE
Unreasonable Searches &
Seizures

So the manufacturer is at fault for Pretti's murder? What is the NY Post trying to argue?

Call the piece of legislation that ultimately abolishes ICE the Pretti-Good Act

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

DHS are domestic terrorists and traitors to the American people.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.

The next could be you.

What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.

This is personal — to every one of us.

Donald J. Trump is a liar and a traitor to the American people, with everything that goes along with that truth.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless….

Remember this.

Hearing Mike Johnson fantasize (i.e., lie) about Trump being the worthiest person ever to deserve the Nobel peace prize because he stopped oh so many wars, it just occurred to me: the only war Trump ever actually stopped is the war against the sexual predators on Epstein Island.

The Department of Vengeance continues to protect pedophiles and sex criminals.

The US is a great place to live for the super rich and super famous. For everyone else, plenty of other places would offer a better life. And yet, a big chunk of the latter group doesn't demand better from the US, because the former group convinced them that they too could be rich or famous someday.

ICE are paid agitators.

I have mine!

I need it in 5XLT and they don't have that. 😕

this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

* SEEK justice outside the courts.

Compulsive liar and geriatric fascist lies some more. 🙄

This corruption only encourages people to sell justice outside the courts, since they can't trust in our justice system.

If Trump ever gets removed from office for "high crimes and misdemeanors", he's abused his power and the pardon process so much, he better not get one himself! #NoPardonForTrump

The NY Times concludes that the ICE agent who shot Renee Good was NOT hit by her car

“the visual evidence shows no indication that..Jonathan Ross, had been run over..It also establishes-millisecond by millisecond-how Mr. Ross put himself in a dangerous position near her vehicle in the first place”

ICE are paid agitators.

Dear trump,

You're a desperate loser.
You took a guy's Purple Heart.
You lied about Michigan's "Man of the Year" award.
You took Machado's Nobel Peace Prize.
It's a participation trophy.

On Obama's worst day, and your best,
he will ALWAYS be better.

The world laughs at you.
Pathetic.

Let’s talk about abolishing ICE.

Very few people who say “abolish ICE” mean “abandon all immigration enforcement.” Rather, they mean “the structure of immigration enforcement is irretrievably broken and needs to be reorganized, just like we did 23 years ago when we created ICE.”

Stop saying we shouldn’t impeach Nazis because they’ll be replaced by someone worse. We should never stop fighting to remove these evil monsters. Don’t obey in advance.

I've read most of the scholarship about US policing since the early 20th century. What you learn from this is that violence is inherent. You cannot "separate" out violence from policing. Police in the U.S. are violence workers.

Hey white folks, listen up.

This is what happens when you give proud boys a badge. 😡

Murderers belong in prison, not on the taxpayers' payroll.
