Canceled my @paramountplus.com subscription. Marked “Other”, for “kissing an authoritarian’s ass”.
@michaelfanone.bsky.social and other CapPD should sue the rioters now that they’ll be millionaires and take it all.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

"Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus," Jonathan Rauch argues. "'Fascist' best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse."

The Trump Administration CANNOT be trusted to truthfully investigate their federal agents. Given what happened in Minnesota, they've made this clear. Our local and state law enforcement have the absolute authority to investigate any potential crimes committed by federal agents.
The federal government’s response to the recent tragic deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota make clear that this administration cannot be trusted to cooperate in the investigation of potential state law crimes committed by federal agents.

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

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

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

This is a MUST-READ affidavit. This eyewitness to Alex Pretti’s murder — who is too scared to even go home because she doesn’t trust federal agents — directly refutes what the feds are saying happened today:

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot. The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.
She's a lying cunt
Noem: "An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently." Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit. Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.
@cnn.com is shameful in their reporting.

100% Our Dem leadership under @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov are absent on these issues, and are not leaders in the time we need. All they are, are mouth pieces.
Who is the ICE agent who shot him? @tizzyent.bsky.social , can we get his ID?
ANOTHER ANGLE: the original video was deleted but I screen capped it. Here it is.
@schumer.senate.gov and the rest of Dem leadership are worthless at this stage. I'm sure a stern letter is coming.
What's the plan, Chuck? I run a fake news website. You're the Senate Minority Leader. What's the plan?
