Please take a minute to read this heartbreaking statement from Nurse Pretti’s family. After their son was killed in broad daylight, they are now forced to defend him against this administration’s lies. It’s another reason why Senate Democrats are united in rejecting this DHS spending bill.

NEW Statement from the family of Alex Pretti:

Schumer still thinks the institutions are salvageable. The Senate still having its cute little traditions like bean soup in the dining room, the Ohio Clock still standing, and a GOP senator having a drawer full of candy makes sure he thinks the world is still safe. We’re out here getting murdered.

Usually when a sports team loses to a joke team, twice, the coaches all get fired. Democrats have lost to Trump twice now. You and democratic leadership who led the failure should step down because you do not understand politics anymore - the game has changed. The Bailey’s are republicans

Priet and Goode must not have lost their lives in vain! Stand up! Cry out! Face the enemy! ENOUGH! Any politician who whitewashes this must be Primaried and vilifyied in history!

Face it - you are not the leader for this moment. You are tired, lack passion, and frankly, value your portfolio more than the people. Stepping down and letting someone else lead is the best thing you could do for the country.

Unfortunately I don't believe a word Schumer speaks. He has weasel words on EVERYTHING and ALWAYS has some little hidden agenda, plan, scheme, etc. that we will only find out about later. Mark my words, Schumer will ultimately cave with little to show and so will a bunch of the usual Vichy Dems.

I’m calling on ALL elected officials to put an end to the violence, and to hold this administration accountable for the atrocities that are being committed at their hands each day. It is beyond horrific what is taking place and it is time for action, not just words of condemnation.

Defund ICE. Abolish ICE. Charge everyone involved in the murder and coverup of Alex Pretti. That’s the least we can do. General strike on national level! Day by day, our rights/lives are taken away and fascism spreads. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Raskin: "I think the people have Minnesota have shown us with their mass demonstration and general strike the direction that we may need to go in nationally in order to send the message that American society does not accept this authoritarian derailment of the US Constitution."

YOU FUCKED AROUND TOO LONG PRETENDING THIS WASN'T THE KKKRISTOFASCISM IT IS. PERIOD. EVERY DEM IN THE HOUSE AND SENATE IS A SHAMEFUL CLOWN. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

Step 1 stop the DHS funding bill in upcoming vote Step 2 rescind and replace previous DHS funding with reforms on ICE policies Step 3 start private conversations planting the seeds of Article II, Sec. 4 as a path towards drawing the actual swamp Thank you for your service to this country!

Everyone, Impeach and removes will still leave most of the political rot intact. Article II, Section 4 of the U. S. Constitution establishes the grounds for removal from office for the President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States. Path to Sanity = impeachment 4 them all!

Can people stop trying to invoke neoliberals to save the neoliberals from the neoliberals own actions? Fuck Pelosi and fuck Schumer. Schumer is a shill for Israel and the fascists. LOOK AT HIS VOTING RECORD. Schumer needs to resign.

The lies of the Trump Nazi regime is despicable Nazi propaganda. Every one in America knows that including the American Nazis themselves. The name of Alex Jeffery Pretti will live on. The world knows what happened on that Minnesota street that morning when Alex Pretti was executed.

Not good enough, abolish ICE! They are easily weaponized, lawless and violate court orders. They are caging immigrants without sufficient food or medical care, raping their captors, using children as bait and now they're killing American citizens. You can't salvage evil. Abolish!

Dear Democrats, If, and HUGE if, you win the house and senate, you better work tirelessly in impeaching the 🤡! Hold EVERYONE accountable & send them to jail! Starting with Bondi, because to this day she still has not released the damn fucking Epstein files!

How long will it take Schumer to cave on the funding for ICE? One hour? One day? One week? How many millions are now without healthcare, with our medical system teetering, from his last cave? #Chuckschumer

Democrats in Congress appear to believe that “fighting back” is going on friendly media shows and providing a detailed narration of how trump is destroying America without actually suggesting a solution let alone taking any actual ACTION.

Stop any and ALL funding for ICE and entire DHS. Claw back any funding for ICE under Big Ugly Bill. Dismantle ICE and fire Noem and Bovino. We, the people, are not paying taxes to be shot by our federal government for exercising our rights granted to us under our Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Chuck Schumer's social media reposting Yashar Ali for this? He isn't the worst but below the dignity of you and the famaily. And "was killed"? Have you even tried to talk to the family? You want to address them directly, in your own voice?

Please hold to this resolve and don’t cave, don’t take the bread crumbs about training, body cams, investigation or Bovino’s resignation (“ICE/CBP under new management”, like they had roaches at the salad bar). Good, Porter, Pretti were murdered and weak concessions dishonor their loss.

Your inactivity and unwillingness to fight these monster head on and instead only talk about "affordability" helped embolden these monsters to take this good man's life. I am tired of heart breaking statements. When are you actually going to talk about fighting back against this?

Dear @schumer.senate.gov, thank you for blocking all DHS funding. We’ll continue hounding you to ensure you follow through. Also, please do everything possible to #ImpeachConvictRemove the current occupant of the White House. Wake up, it’s an EMERGENCY‼️ bsky.app/profile/kati... #AbolishICE #Impeach

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” ―Mahatma Gandhi Solidarity from NYC. I have long COVID, it was hard to go out in the blizzard today, but peanuts compared to what they face in MN. I stood in silence with Gandhi. Rest in peace, Renée Good & Alex Pretti 🙏 NY🤍MN #AbolishICE #Impeach

Time for a nation wide strike. If that happens it will send a strong message that the fascists need us. Violence will get more violence so we need to HIT THEM HARD where it’s hurts most. Shut down the country starting for 24-36 hours and they’ll panic. If not go to 2 then 3 then a week

They’re gunning us down in the streets. How Dem leaders react will tell me all I need to know about which Dem leaders should remain in power after the midterms should we be lucky enough to have them.

AND YOU THINK THAT MERE “LACK OF TRAINING” IS THE ISSUE?!? Genuinely…. Wtf… DEFUND ICE… DEFUND CBP… DEFUND ANYONE ELSE INVOLVED IN THE COVERUP… IMPEACH… REMOVE… CONVICT. You have info that you aren’t using in the ways it should—no one buys that you don’t have power in this situation. You have files.

This is an important moment for you Chuck. The democratic party will lose us all if you do not get your act together and defund ICE. Not another cent will be donated.

I wish I believed you Senator Schumer. I will hope for the best but expect you all to cave like you did over the shutdown without anything to show for it. Innocent people are being killed and kidnapped. It must stop #abolishice

If only there was a time when Democrats could have shut down the entire federal government rather than give ICE a blank check to use to murder Americans with impunity. Oh, wait . . . .

This administration must be impeached and removed under congress’s power of impeachment; An important check on the Executive recognized by the Framers as a crucial tool for holding government officers accountable for violations of the law and abuses of power. WE DEMAND TRUMP IMPEACHED AND REMOVED

Your utter failure to do your job is a significant factor in why their son is dead. You should be ashamed of yourself. Keep your caucus in line or resign in disgrace.

We call on every person of integrity serving in the US Government to obstruct all government actions and freeze all governing activities until ICE has been abolished.

THESE ICE officers are neglegently untrained. Americans won't accept leaders gaslighting us that they are looking for the "worst." We can see that isn't true. Children? They are the law breakers...not the citizens they gas and kill. New policies via memo doesn't take our Constitutional Rights away.

But, you're not doing anything about it. You're posturing. That's it! You are what is called "Loyal Opposition". Meaning that you oppose policies while accepting the legitimacy of the government making them. You act like they are operating in good faith when you know they are not. STOP IT!

Four Republican senators and four house members changing to independent and caucusing with democrats could change control of congress and give the American people a chance at regaining our democracy. Eight human beings in this country of millions. Stop the madness.

DEFUND ICE. Do not advance other Republican bills. If you can’t do this, you need to step down as Speaker. Innocent people are being publically executed. You need to take a stronger stand against this fascism, otherwise you’re enabling it.

Have you and your consultants calculated the number of people you are willing to be shot before congress steps in and acts??? You are supposed to be a leader. Why are you not in Minneapolis showing solidarity and support? It would at least show you are willing to do more than write sad letters.
