Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Kristi Noem and her department’s latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately.

She has also violated the public trust by wasting millions in taxpayer dollars to put herself in advertisements, buy two expensive luxury jets, and give government contracts to firms with ties to her political operations, all while terrorizing American communities.

She’s either too incompetent to rein in the agency under her purview, or she endorses the blatant constitutional violations being committed.

Kristi Noem has been an abject failure leading the Department of Homeland Security for the last year – and the abuses of power we’re seeing from ICE are the latest proof that she has lost control over her own department and staff. 🧵

FOLLOWING THE NEWS OF YET ANOTHER FATAL SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS, A CITY THAT HAS BEEN ON THE FOREFRONT OF THE FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICES, NBA PLAYERS CAN NO LONGER REMAIN SILENT. NOW MORE THAN EVER, WE MUST DEFEND THE RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND STAND IN SOLIDARITY WITH THE PEOPLE IN MINNESOTA PROTESTING AND RISKING THEIR LIVES TO DEMAND JUSTICE. THE FRATERNITY OF NBA PLAYERS, LIKE THE UNITED STATES ITSELF, IS A COMMUNITY ENRICHED BY ITS GLOBAL CITIZENS, AND WE REFUSE TO LET THE FLAMES OF DIVISION THREATEN THE CIVIL LIBERTIES THAT ARE MEANT TO PROTECT US ALL. THE NBPA AND ITS MEMBERS EXTEND OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILIES OF ALEX PRETTI AND RENEE GOOD, JUST AS OUR THOUGHTS REMAIN FOCUSED ON THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF ALL MEMBERS OF OUR COMMUNITY. NBPA

The National Basketball Players Association has released a statement on the killings in Minneapolis:

“Following the news of yet another fatal shooting in Minneapolis, a city that has been on the forefront of fight against injustices, NBA players can no longer remain silent”

Watch Pretty Woman instead. The hooker in that is a good human.

🚨"Minnesota can't you see, a general strike is what we need!" -thousands of Minneapolis ICE protesters chant as they march a day after Trump's border patrol murdered U.S. citizen Alex Pretti ⬇️

Walz: "We have got children in Minnesota hiding in their houses, afraid to go outside. Many of us grew up reading that story of Anne Frank. Somebody is gonna write that children's story about Minnesota."

TikTok has been removing videos of Alex Pretti’s shooting.

They’re owned by the regime now.

Users who try to discuss it are being suspended or throttled.

We don’t need more state sponsored propaganda.

Boycott TikTok.

Lift up independent journalists.

Keep sharing the truth

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Thank God there were people filming. This administration would have said Alex Pretti pulled a handgun, a package of fentanyl, and a signed copy of the Communist Manifesto if they could.

The march has begun. I've been standing at this vantage here recording for a full three minutes and still can't see the end of the column.

I *can* see still more people joining the march a few blocks south.

The crowd is so big there are mini-rallies taking place inside it.

This group, dancing with puppets and an antifascist action flag, chants "general strike, shut it down!"

Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue.

Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

IL congresswoman Delia Ramirez addressing now the crowd as well, calling attendees freedom fighters.

Just to give a sense of scale for how many people are out here in the snow and cold, this is just the outer fringe of one half of a block of Congress Plaza, which is completely full.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.

Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

NYT EDITORIAL BOARD:

“.. When the government kills, it has an obligation to demonstrate that it has acted in the public interest. Instead, the Trump administration is once again engaged in a perversion of justice.”

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

why do no republicans ever feel ashamed about anything ever

I still brutalize myself internally on the regular for mispronouncing "awry" in fifth grade and being corrected by the teacher in front of a girl I had a crush on and these motherfuckers lie, get caught, and just smile and repeat it.

If people are being asked to cut back on water usage so AI centers can have more for their cooling systems then we’ve already reached the point in the movie where the bots have taken over.

Ken Paxton is great because he's never not testing the limits of human reasoning. He's a pioneer in stupidity. He's like an astronaut for the completely spaced program. You've never seen someone more dedicated to being openly moronic without a shred of charm to show for it.

Texas Republicans being more committed to cheating voters with a frankenstein map than to doing emergency legislation to fix the state's flood warning systems is pretty much all you need to know about them.
