I may be invisible, but you're transparent.

I think the thing that killed the administration was that they were so gung-ho to find a reason that Pretti deserved to die that they accidentally declared that that the second amendment isn't real.

ICE is a threat to public safety.

Killing U.S. citizens. Kidnapping Americans. Ignoring the Constitution.

That’s not law enforcement — that’s weaponization and abuse of power.

And the cruelty starts at the top.

the southern aristocracy was built on pedophiliac rape and that was the thing that more than anything else converted Northerners who encountered it from begrudging soldiers to crusaders.

Alex Pretti's coworkers taking a moment of silence to honor him

That's a little sad.

I've been using the term vice signaling but this works

just an extraordinary vibe shift rippling across every cultural, business and political context all at once

the elite cover for indulgence of evil shit collapsed in one weekend

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

Is she sorry though? This is another example of conservatives not listening to advice I'm sure she could have gotten from the people in her newsroom about what works and what does not.

Bari Weiss already having 'sorry I fucked up and it cost us our audience' town hall style meetings at CBS news sure seems like its going great and will continue to do so

A stark moment in this morning's hearing in Minnesota when an attorney for the state is staying this:

They were calling us the enemy of the people during the election and people thought it was just locker room talk.

"Republicans say... debt cancellation is unfair 2 people w/out student loans & that the latest financial strain & mixed messages r former Pres Joe Biden’s fault."

Cross ref this w/ I'm not paying for "their" kid's lunch & snap micro manage

Connect the oppress, shift blame, & scapegoat dots...

I am once again tapping the sign that says “If you won’t allow us to hold individuals responsible, the only other option is collective retribution”

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Hey can we also pause and unpack what “quotas” means

I believe that is was the cool kids call “the accidental guerrilla”

that could literally speak to this whole administration and the social forces driving it. Grievance, bigotry and dim misogyny.

For Alex Jeffrey Pretti Murdered by I.C.E January 24, 2026 by Amanda Gorman We wake with no words, just woe & wound. Our own country shoot ing us in the back is not just brutal ity; it's jarring betrayal; not enforcement, but execution. A message: Love your people e you will die. Yet our greatest threat isn't the outsiders among us, but those among us who never look within. Fear not the those without papers, but those without conscience. Know that to care intensively, united, is to carry both pain-dark horror for today & a profound, daring hope for tomorrow. We can feel we have nothing to give, & still belove this world wait ing, trembling to change. If we cannot find words, may we find the will; if we ever lose hope, may we never lose our humanity. The only undying thing is mercy, the courage to open ourselves like doors, hug our neighbor, & save one more bright, impossible life.

The heartbreakingly beauty of Amanda Gorman’s words for humanity. Be the light. Save a soul.

This will hit you no matter who and where you are. Visit family, get a face of tear gas.

This is sickening. Here and everywhere across the country.

Good grief. "Good enough" will be whatever the airlines and manufacturers decide will increase profits, safety be damned.

This is how a nation becomes a pariah state that causes other nations to deny your aircraft overflight or landing rights.

Like Russia.

‘ICE OUT’ pins, political panels and a punch: How Sundance Film Fest grappled with Minnesota news There's a long history of activism at Sundance. But this year, politics weren't top of mind until news that federal agents had fatally shot a second person in Minneapolis on Saturday.

I'm told the "free speech absolutist" doesn't like this.

Except they're lazy bigots and their "perfection" has yet to be "good enough".

this is completely insane and more people need to say that doing this is completely insane

‘All-out assault on our democracy:’ Bondi’s Minnesota blackmail letter draws righteous fury from state election leaders “This isn't leadership. This is blackmail," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said. "This is the way organized crime works."

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.

Bari Weiss in the news again had me look up her article on wikipedia and boy does it jump out at you how much she liked to harass Muslim professors out of a job

understandable frustration with respectability politics but worth acknowledging that this kind of political situation is what it was for
