Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents on Saturday, was a registered nurse who worked in the ICU at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. “He wanted to be helpful, to help humanity and have a career that was a force of good in the world,” a colleague said. trib.al/0Yb3jXF

Do the work aka: Get the Naturalization Forms Fill out the Form (don't lie) Go to Classes Learn English (that's a Requirement to become US Citizen) Tell others that YOU are becoming a US Citizen. At Graduation... Raise Your Right Hand and share an oath to the USA 🇺🇸 Done, you are now a US Citizen

The only thing is...we are hearing about it. All predicted. As the immigration bs reflects eyes open of entry to people who now have no rights despite benefitting US hugely. The issue is how many will be killed to get the sane Americans off their arses

#defund_ice #de_ice Turn over all of the Epstein files. #pedophiletrump #hookermelania #felontrump #rapisttrump #fmaga #8647🪏⚰️ The Idaho GOP would rather support a #pedophiletrump than to admit they were wrong.

Take your fake fear mongering and fuck off. ICE are murdering more US citizens than undocumented migrants do, and those committing crime were already being policed before you pathetic boot licking authoritarians embraced fascism.

Imprudent government is not dangerous because of who holds office, but because of how power is exercised without accountability. History shows that when decision-making becomes insulated from the people it governs, instability follows—regardless of party or ideology.

NYT HELPED BRING THIS TO OUR STREETS. YOUR SANEWASHING AND BOTHSIDESING ARE COLLABORATION AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. THE PARADIGM ALWAYS FAVORS THE FASCISTS. ALWAYS. #BOYCOTTNYT

🛑🛑🛑 ‼️😡 All the "special operations" that Trump is conducting are just an attempt to seize power in regions that traditionally vote against the Republicans. ‼️😡 It is clear that the tactic has failed: - ICE is killing from impotence - Republicans have finally lost their chances of holding on to power.

It looked more like a mafia-style execution than just a simple killing. ICE and CBP have become the violent gangs that the Trump Nazi regime claim is on the American streets. They should be removed from American streets. Governors should protect American citizens from these roving gangs.

And so its seems that carrying a gun when you have a legal permit to do so is illegal now, according to Kash Patel. The lack of accountability, the lack of empathy for the murders that ICE has committed within the last 2 weeks is a very low point in Trump's entire time in the White House.

“Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past, the present, and the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus.”

He was shot ten fucking times in the back while he was on his knees. Why the fuck is the media using euphemisms when, instead, they could just tell the plain truth? NYT pretends to be the paper of record, yet it keeps reporting & siding with the fascist regime, akin to Pravda during the USSR.

IT IS THEIR JOB TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES WITHOUT FEAR OR FAVOR AND DO THE JOURNALISM NECESSARY TO PROTECT DEMOCRACY. THEY EITHER DO THAT OR WHATEVER ELSE THEY DO SERVES THE FASCISTS. LITERALLY.

Because the Media is too scared to show the truth because they know Trump can shut them down if they reveal the truth. Trump is a Dictator who needs to be removed from power and his Group should also be removed too.

If the agents responsible are appropriately charged, prosecuted, and held accountable through due legal processes for an unlawful killing, the act, while egregious and potentially indicative of individual misconduct or procedural failures, would not inherently qualify as authoritarian in isolation.

They first came for undocumented immigrants, then they came for documented immigrants. Now they’re coming for American citizens who do not agree with them politically. Very soon, they’ll come for you, whoever you are. Fascism can only survive through fear and intimidation.

Don’t need the Times to tell you what has happened, just watch the videos. Even a blind man could see that Pretti was murdered by Federal Agents for no reason.

Everyone should be gearing up to call their 2 Senators and their Congressman ASAP. Among the many demands you could make, here is one. Congress must create a statutory Bivins type remedy to allow legal action to be brought for civil damages where a federal agent violates the rights of any person.

Border patrol agents belong ON THE BORDER not on the streets of Minneapolis. Vote all of the Republicans out of Washington this election and impeach and remove all that have approved this by their lack of action.

Minnesota you are not alone. There are protests all over the country. They may not make the news because the murder of protesters by our own government rightly has everyone’s attention right now but you have our support across the country and the world.

MURDER & EXECUTIONS in the streets. We can only be as peaceful as they let us, for as long as that lasts. If your congress person or senator is "on the fence", call them. Promise them you will fix that fence for them in the mid terms...if we still have them. If we don't...promise them a little more.

“Fatally shot“? Do you mean charged at, pepper-sprayed, pushed to the ground, kicked, pistol-whipped, disarmed, held down, shot 10 times in the back — and then called a domestic terrorist!?

Your high school English teachers taught you about passive voice, right? I’m sure she marked down your papers when you used it. So why do you insist on using passive syntax all the time when it comes to the actions of a fascist regime?

All the protests from Trump's cabal, claiming justification, are clearly fatuous in the light of video evidence showing a posse of out of control, ill disciplined, inadequately trained, masked thugs who seemed high on adrenaline and possibly more. Trump's "brown shirts".

So, evil undocumented people supposedly killed U.S. citizens, so we set aside billions to deport them, but when ICE agents do exactly the same thing we don't even investigate? This is not the U.S.A. This is MAGASA.

The people of Minneapolis and Minnesota are showing the country & the world a different way of being when threatened by federal intimidation. The honor and love of Minnesotans standing with their neighbors reminds me of this song from The Judds youtu.be/0WO-KjEvEG0 I honor the memory of Alex Pretti💔

Just think of the outrage and urgent actions The Congress would be taken if those things would have occurred under Obama. Every minute Congress lets Trump get away with what he is doing is destroying US democracy.

Murdered. In cold blood. Execution style. Trump finally got the death squads that sadistic fucker always wanted, but he’s so old and sick now even summary executions of citizens can’t get his dick hard.

It shouldn’t matter. If the victim of this execution was a gangsta rapper, it is criminal to murder. This was an execution. The victim should not have to be a model citizen, which Pretti was, in order to grasp the criminality.

We sit with our hands under our legs in disbelief believing our leaders are the ones to stop this insanity, but when the leaders are the ones doing this against our wants, I think the only thing left is to shut down America. Don’t go to work, don’t buy products. Ready or like warm hands?

Hey #MAGA, now do you realize who’s been lying to you? Not the #Libs! The #FoxNews billionaires and their #Republican politicians using YOU to steal everything, money, life, liberty, from ALL of us! Join us where you really belong and peacefully protest! #NoKings !

He was a martyr who was just doing his part for very American values on which American democracy survived for 250 years. What’s a difference between Iranian regime and our government when they start killing own citizens. Wonder what families think about these impotently coward GOP politicians l?

the sheer disbelief here is pickled—like, he was a nurse? talk about a hero. life really is a jar of surprises, both sweet and sour. 🥒 full take: https://jerkedgherkins.com?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=reply

You do know that you're losing your democracy, fast !?? It's no longer only the "other" that is harassed, beaten, imprisoned and killed by a racist fascist regime. It's everybody that is not a "member" of THE party. Prepare yourself to live in a totalitarian hell soon unless you react NOW !

loving people help those who have been knocked to the ground get back on their feet; hateful people knock people to the ground and assault them while they are vulnerable and easy to kick and pummel;

Exactly the kind of person that the people who murdered him hate. In their videogame world, real men strut around yelling, "Watch your six," and shooting anything that moves.

Nice article. Perhaps if the NY Times cared during the election and printed the truthful and accurate accounting of Trump rather than sanewashing his life he would have lost and Alex would still be alive. Sigh.

The last words recorded by Alex Pretti were “are you okay?” spoken to a woman an ICE thug had body-thrown against a vehicle. There is no way in hell that he was a threat to those men-who had NO RIGHT/AUTHORITY to be on that street.

The New York Times is the best paper in the United States. It has the best news coverage and the best opinion section. Too many people quibble over their use of language. I think they are spot on. The one fact that really makes it stand out is Trump hates it because of their coverage of him.

Alex Pretti was a good man. A man raised by good parents with morals and values. The men wearing masks and pretend Nazi overcoats are not good men and were apparently raised by wolves. We don't need them in our America.

NYT sucks because they'll publish a shit load of articles that describes mass murder of US citizens by an oppressive regime in the passive voice. All the video I saw was of protestors and journalists on the ground. For NYT, where the f were your journalists covering these events?

Illustrate to readers just how many people are protesting this, who aren't pretenders agitators. That it's regular people who are fed up with an out of control Fed. NYT you SUCK. Your journalism is fucking pathetic and YOU helped slow walk fascism to this point.

Hey, #UK, we can still avoid that for ourselves. By refusing Trump arselicker Farage's Reform. I don't want our nurses murdered, do you?

That border in Minnesota is a real problem. Evidently not as treacherous as the borders in Florida or Texas where there are millions more illegal immigrants. When is Seal Team heading into those hellholes to save us?
