TODAY WOULD BE A GREAT DAY FOR DONALD TRUMP TO BE ARRESTED!

Just got done with our hearing. We have another status hearing next month with a trial date (hopefully) in the spring.

It’s more important than ever to stand strong against ICE and with the people protesting it.

We’re fighting these charges and we’re going to win.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

Rest in power, Alex. Thank you for your compassion and kindness to the very end.

We also need to thank his parents, for raising such a quality human.

The Day Minnesota Claimed Its Power: The Murder of Alex Pretti Journalist Johnny Palmadessa recounts the hours following the killing of VA nurse Alex Pretti.

Please READ. This is an amazing first-hand young man’s account & reporting that is visceral & illuminates what we are SEEING. As a boomer activist, I fought against this day. I join with these young leaders who fight the GOOD FIGHT. meidasnews.com/news/the-day...

ICE wouldn't DARE to come try this shit in California! I'll Thai Chi kick those flashbacks right into Nick Fuente's big fat bussy!

Ms. Omar, visibly shaken after the assault, insisted to her staff and security that she would continue. She asked for a napkin and told them: "Just give me 10 minutes. I beg you. Please don't let them have the show." Ms. Omar then turned the crowd. "Here's the reality that people like this ugly man don't understand," she said. "We are Minnesota strong, and we will stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us." Someone in the crowd later thanked Ms. Omar for staying and continuing after the assault, which had shaken not only her but the entire room. "I learned at a young age you don't give in to threats," Ms. Omar said.

That money went straight into Dumpy's pocket, where it will stay. Same with the tariff money, same with the money being raised for a new Ball Room, that no-one needed or asked for. Now it's just a slush fund for him, to coerce people, or just for mad money for the mad king.

It’s just nuts to me that senior DOJ officials are on social media all day shitposting and trolling. The unprofessionalism and psychosis is unfathomable to anyone who has ever worked for any DOJ agency - especially the posts about pending investigations and prosecutions.

Warnock: "You can't ask me to be an accomplice to the killing of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. It's to make a butchery of my conscience."

Sad 😭, angry 😡, my son is a medical professional, around the same age, in Minneapolis with staff under him. He is a veteran. He will not allow ICE to violate his staff’s rights. I fear for his safety because he WON’T allow it. I can't tell him not to intercede & protect a person being threatened. 😡

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.
