People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.
Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.
Any second now, I'm sure.
He was a white guy, if that helps?
Hello? NRA?
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
Good. Took too long, but I’ll take it.
Nexstar made a deal to acquire broadcast conglomerate Tegna in a $6.2 billion deal, which will require government approval.

Whew! Sen. Susan Collins should be “very concerned”
She showed up as the main guest at a ribbon-cutting in Searsport, Maine. It backfired.
The crowd was not happy to have her: “Shame. Shame. Shame.”
FIFA should pull all of the 2026 World Cup matches scheduled to be played on US soil & reassign them to venues in Canada.
That includes the World Cup final scheduled to be played at the Meadowlands.
This is not a country suited to host an international event now & won’t be until 2029.

Anyone who accepts a Kennedy Center award at this point is a quisling to be shunned. No one with any self-respect would even attend this ceremony. I would hope that whatever TV network broadcasts these awards would get the lowest ratings imaginable.
CW: Sexual assault
In multiple states, men have impersonated ICE agents to kidnap and assault women.
This is one of many reasons we shouldn't have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Our elected officials can and must act now: www.bluestatedefiance.org/no-secret-po...
POLITICO compiled a list of all the Washington Post staffers who have left in the past eight months. It’s at least a hundred names, many of them among the biggest names in journalism. This is the fastest erosion of a major outlet ever.
We have to reset our priorities from top to bottom.
ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days.
They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention.
Under this regime, no one is safe. apnews.com/article/us-a...
The Democratic Party's approval ratings are terrible, a young Democratic politician solidly wins a primary in the country's biggest city by generating enthusiasm and high turnout, and Democratic leaders think the move is to publicly distance themselves, even denounce him, do I have that right?
Now THAT's a cease and desist letter
Nobody forces anyone to be an ICE agent. These thugs have all willingly chosen to do that job. They could quit any time they want.
Remember that.
The “for profit” model of helping poor people is deeply flawed. See Bridge International Academies model as well.
Same thing with crime stats, stolen elections, and “great healthcare plans.”
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
I strongly condemn the votes of Reps. Tom Kean Jr, Jeff Van Drew, and Chris Smith that will hurt countless New Jersey families.
Tom Kean broke his promise and voted to continue the SALT tax cap for another decade instead of just letting the cap expire this year. 1/4

We need to throw the GOP out. They’ve just handed us the playbook.
Shameless plug: I've gained many new followers as I've covered Congress's attempts Trump's spending bill. In my downtime, I write about disability policy. Specifically, I'm an #ActuallyAutistic author who wrote a whole book about autism. You can buy it here.

The US has denied the visas of all 12 members of the Senegalese women’s basketball team who were scheduled to travel to the country as part of their preparation for the Afrobasket tournament that begins in August. Afrobasket is also the African qualifiers for the Olympics.

The US should not be hosting either the World Cup or the Olympics.
