Way to go, Chicago! Tons of people showed up, even in a snowstorm. ❄️👏

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

Statistic: 2/3rds of murders in Minneapolis so far in 2026 have been committed by DHS agents

Minnesota SoS Rejects Bondi’s ‘Ransom’ Request for Voter Data In Exchange For End to ‘Chaos’ talkingpointsmemo.com/news/minneso...

Reporter: You received a letter from AG Pam Bondi making several demands…. Walz: I would just give a pro tip to the AG. There's 2 million documents in the Epstein files we're still waiting on. Go ahead and work on those

The federal government is executing American citizens in the middle of the street for exercising their constitutional right to freedom of speech. This is tyranny. No free people can accept this kind of government. We need to bring an end to the Trump regime.

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

We want to set the record so he is remembered for what he did. Alex put his body between a woman and imminent danger (murderous thugs(ICE)), and he lost his life.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

I guess it’s good for the networks to have all the Trump apparatchiks on to lie, so we can see how despicable they are. I admire the anchors who ask them tough questions. I couldn’t be in the same room as them. And if I were on a panel afterwards, all I would say is: “They lie. They lie. They lie.”

“If you exercise your constitutionally protected right to bear arms, masked federal agents can murder you in cold blood, simply because an American citizen exercising their Second Amendment rights scares them.”

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Elections in this country are very decentralized. Trump is trying to gain access to voter rolls and largely losing. Follow Democracy Docket, if you don't already. Follow Taniel to hear about elections, they happen often. Make Sure You Yell At People To Plan To Vote That's still where our power is

BRENNAN: You have been a supported of the Second Amendment. Do you believe Americans have the right to bear arms while they're protesting? SCALISE: In most states you are not allowed to carry a gun while you're committing another crime, and interfering with law enforcement is a felony

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

BARITROMO: “But how was he threatening Border Patrol? He had his camera, right?” Even Fox hosts aren’t buying the Orwellian lies 🤥 (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Hey NRA, are you good with this? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Worth noting that the @wsj.com has joined with the @nytimes.com and Bellingcat to say that ICE is lying in its description of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The video evidence more and more supports the view that this was a gratuitous execution. www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Imagine this in a trial. Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing Declaration filed in federal court: "I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

It's really too bad the United States Congress no longer exists.

Trump has removed less people from the U.S. this last year than he averaged per year in his first term. Between Jan 25—Jan 26, the Trump administration has removed 230,000. In his first term he averaged 275,725. But that is nothing compared to Barack Obama who averaged

What lying fucks they all are.

“You got signed judicial warrant to gain access to the scene and we’re still denied access by federal agents?” “Yes, that’s accurate.” We are so cooked 🇺🇸

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

BARTIROMO: But how was he threatening Border Patrol? How was he using a gun to threaten? He was filming it KASH PATEL: That's something I'll let DHS because they are investigating that case (Notable that even Bartiromo seems to be bothered by this!)

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

scenes from occupied Minneapolis: "Social media video depicts agents taking a 15yo & 16yo on the 2800 block of Blaisdell. Community member reports either tear gas or pepper spray deployed"

So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this. We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...

Jones to Hannity: Shame on you. Your children will be ashamed of where you stand. I’m going to pray for you. Tell Trump to put down the pardon pen and pick up a mirror if he wants to go after criminals.

Censoring his opponents Watch authoritarianism work

the mainstream media has been covering donald trump as a political figure for 11 years now. they know he is full of shit. they push headlines like "trump rules out using military force to take greenland" even though they know the context of his rhetoric. it is a deliberate misinformation tactic.
