End the Killings: States Must Unite to Stop Lawless ICE Operations
Text SIGN PQZSKS to 50409 — On January 24, 2026, federal immigration agents shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and U.S. citizen, on a public street in Minneapolis. Multiple verified videos show Pretti holding a phone, not a weapon, as agents pepper-sprayed him, forced him to the ground, disarmed him, and then fired repeatedly into his body.
This killing followed another fatal shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis just weeks earlier. Together, these deaths represent a terrifying escalation: heavily armed federal agents operating inside American cities with little regard for civilian safety, constitutional rights, or local authority.
State and local officials in Minnesota have condemned these actions. Governors and mayors have warned that federal enforcement teams are acting with impunity, obstructing state investigations, and refusing to cooperate with lawful oversight. This is not law enforcement—it is a breakdown of accountability.
While immigration enforcement is a federal responsibility, states are not required to accept federal actions that endanger residents, undermine public trust, or interfere with state law enforcement and judicial processes. State governments retain significant power over cooperation, access, and authorization within their borders.
I urge you, as a state legislator, to act immediately and in coordination with lawmakers across the country to form a unified response. Specifically, I ask that you:
• Join with other states in formally opposing the continued deployment of ICE and related federal enforcement operations that have resulted in civilian deaths.
• Adopt or support resolutions asserting state authority over cooperation with federal agents and rejecting operations that violate constitutional norms or public safety.
• Protect the right of residents to record law enforcement activity in public spaces without fear of violence or retaliation.
• Call on your governor to work with other governors—across party lines—to demand the withdrawal of ICE from states where its presence has led to bloodshed.
Governor JB Pritzker has already called on governors and legislatures nationwide to stand together against what he described as lawlessness inflicted on the states. That call should not stand alone. When federal power is abused, the Constitution does not demand silence—it demands action.
No American should be killed for filming law enforcement or helping another person off the ground. No state should be forced to tolerate federal agents who operate above the law. Unity among the states is not only justified—it is necessary.
Please act now to help stop the killings and restore accountability.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a resident of [LOCATION] I’m calling to ask that [SENATORS NAME] push to defund ICE funding and supporting legislation that claws back the $75 billion ICE slush fund created by H.R. 1 last year.
This lawless agency is violently attacking and killing immigrants and citizens around the country and must be defunded and dissolved for good. People are getting assaulted in our streets, kidnapped, an murdered in front of us.
Our friends and Neighbors are being violently attacked. It’s a total violation of our constitutional rights and completely evil. I encourage Congress to use their power to defund and disband ICE. Immediately
Thank you for your time and consideration.

I feel this in my soul. As I was telling my partner, it's the time of year when the depressed part of my brain argues with the neurospicy part about whether or not to use the happy light. Because. Sad. But heck is that thing bright.

But conservatives always yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.

With the start of Native American Heritage Month, and with the government shut down and the general state of the economy, instead of asking you to support Coyote & Crow, I'd like to ask you all to read, share, and sign this petition for Avatar Fire & Ash. c.org/mNWjkxpYPv #NativeSky #Indigenous

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Can anyone help me reach $150 for groceries and a phone cord TODAY?
My current cord is so faulty that it takes hours to charge my phone and might NOT charge if I have to unplug it and plug it back in. The grocery store is too far to make a quick trip, so I have to stock up when I'm there.

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled
A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.
An artificial heart for children with congenital heart defects was almost finished. Families had waited for years it.
Then, Trump canceled billions in grants for universities — including the grant for this device.
The cruelty is endless. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

The companies don't want you to know this, but you can just WATCH anime on Youtube, for FREE. Hundreds of abandoned series in copyright hell that will never, EVER get re-released, have been sitting there since 2009. This is how a lot of people got into anime before streaming.
