Hiding in Plain Sight Democrats push to unmask ICE

“Five days after a second American was gunned down…heads should be rolling. People should be held to account and fired. Agents should have been marched out of the city. The Department of Justice and the FBI should have opened an investigation. Instead, the president is still playing the bully.”

Six women accuse filmmaker Brett Ratner of sexual harassment or misconduct Natasha Henstridge was watching a movie on Brett Ratner’s couch when she fell asleep.

A reminder, now that this “Melania” film is out, directed by Brett Ratner:

“In interviews with the Los Angeles Times, Henstridge and five other women accused Ratner of a range of sexual harassment and misconduct that allegedly took place in private homes, on movie sets or at industry events.”

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

Seems like a good video for his trial

I cannot stress how completely bizarre & unheard of it is for the DNI to be personally present for a search warrant execution, never mind this one.

AZ secretary of state Adrian Fontes:

“This isn’t leadership. This is blackmail. This is the way organized crime works. They move into your neighborhood, they start beating everybody up, and then they extort what they want. This is not how America is supposed to work….”

German soccer federation official wants World Cup boycott considered because of Trump A German soccer federation executive committee member says it’s time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump continues to lie and incite violence against Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I think she's a fraud ... she probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."

The woman who survived five gunshots from a Border Patrol agent in Chicago, only to be criminally charged and then cleared, now wants a judge’s permission to share records showing how the feds respond when agents use deadly force. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Scary! I hope their protest remains peaceful.

“To you this is murder?”

“Yes. I know it is. — People are feeling like there’s nobody here to help us. What can we do? The constitution doesn’t seem to matter.”

She witnessed the killing of Alex Pretti, now she is bravely coming forward.

Stella is the best of us. 🇺🇸

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

Who ARE these weirdos? I mean talk about “the elite” and being totally out of touch, at the minimum…

January 27, 2026 The murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday morning at the hands of federal agents has put wind in the sails of those trying to rein in the Trump administration at the same time it has sent t...

“About a week before his death, Pretti stopped his car to observe federal agents chasing a family on foot, shouted, and blew a whistle. Five agents tackled him and one leaned on his back, breaking a rib, before they released him. Medical records confirm Pretti was treated for the injury.“

Get rid of them both!

ICE Force Meets an Immovable Object and Shoots to Kill We Will Not Acquiesce To This

“The President has pitched us into the dark night of a police state, using the same tactics of victim-smearing, lies, and justifications for lawless conduct that has been perfected by police officers engaged in brutality for decades in this country.“

7 Times Conservatives Praised Gun-Toting Protesters They're attacking Alex Pretti for having a gun. But here are some famous moments when Trump and the right treated armed protesters like heroes.

“It goes to show that conservatives have lavished plenty of love upon their vigilante supporters over the years, but have none to spare those who stand in the way of Trump’s federal immigration agents, whether armed or not.”

One Family Doc’s Rx for a Sick Republic Of bandaids and scalpels, and a critical condition.

“I can tell you that almost every doctor, nurse, and health care worker is feeling a visceral sadness having lost one of our own. Hauled down, pepper sprayed, gang beaten, and then shot ten times, killed by a posse of “Immigration and Customs Enforcement” agents in Minneapolis.”

Alex Pretti's gun is like Renee Good's car: irrelevant to the central fact that they were murdered by ICE. ICE wants us to debate whether Pretti should have been carrying because that avoids the central fact. Pro-carry, anti-carry--that has as much to do w/ his murder as his fashion choices. Zero.

Lies and Lawlessness The Camps, the Executions, and the Future

“It is indeed the job of some local, state, and federal authorities to enforce the law. It is a disservice to them when federal employees carry out public executions. It is a greater disservice to them when such actions are defined as ‘law enforcement.’ “

City View Apts in Near North, Minneapolis (1149 N 7th St), approx. 9-10am: ICE and CBP BORTAC raiding an entire apartment complex after breaking in

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

The Language of Public Violence; My Conversation with the Anti-Authoritarian Experts of STROIKA US government agents behave like Fascist blackshirts and state security forces in Turkey, Iran, and other autocracies.

“Like the original Fascists, ICE agents want their violence to be public. They want the world to understand that anyone who challenges their authority and occupation…can be “taught a lesson,” humiliated (parading their victims around in their underwear was a Fascist specialty, too) or eliminated.”

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Alex Pretti was a customer of ACF. A member of our local cycling community. An integral community member serving as a nurse at our local VA hospital. Murdered while standing up to bullies in his city. Then falsely smeared in the media as an agitator with an agenda. Do not believe the lies. He could be any one of us standing against evil, but evil cannot get us all if we stand against it!

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

January 24, 2026 This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

“Just hours after the killing of Alex Pretti, agents pinned U.S. citizen Matthew James Allen to the street while he screamed: ‘I have done nothing at all. My name is Matthew James…Allen. I’m a United States citizen…. You’re gonna kill me! Is that what you want? You want to kill me?’ “
