Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.
Sen. John Curtis: "I am grateful for your role. I believe uneqviocably [sic] that you and President Trump have made the world a safer place. I push back on the false narrative that we're not respected. I think we're respected far more than we were around the world."
Trump administration: “Alex Pretti was a demotic terrorist who planned to massacre as many immigration officers as he could.”
Alex Pretti’s last words: “Are you okay?”
Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.
It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.
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?
the regime considers all resistance violent resistance. you chanting while holding a sign and carefully remaining on the sidewalk is as worthy of the death penalty to them as someone throwing a Molotov.
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
this was not just murder, this was the most cowardly possible gang murder of someone who was only trying to protect others
this was evil snuffing out good
this can not stand
An Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient says that he was tackled and arrested by ICE agents in Minneapolis and held in a cell for eight hours without being allowed to contact an attorney or his family.

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.
Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.
AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.
If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.
Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.
NEW: DHS appropriations bill funding ICE passes 220-207
7 Democrats voted YES on the bill:
- Jared Golden
- Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
- Henry Cuellar
- Tom Suozzi
- Laura Gillen
- Don Davis
- Vicente Gonzalez
One Republican voted NO: Thomas Massie
Ossoff: "POTUS called for this man [Mark Kelly] to be hanged. A combat veteran, naval aviator, astronaut, senator. He demanded his execution bc he stated a principle enshrined in uniform code of military justice. If we become numb to that we lose sight of how extraordinary our obligations are."
I'm just a simple country lawyer but this whole "you can only read the memo in front of supervisors and you can't take notes on it and don't tell anyone" doesn't sound like the behavior of an administration that believes it's behaving in the right!
For no reason that withstands any scrutiny, a bunch of masked goons, armed and directed by the federal government have been sicced upon a wonderful US city, with the principal effect of wantonly hurting its people, social life, and reputation.
Every day of this is incomprehensible.
A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).
1/21/2026 - Minneapolis
Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment
At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children
The world learned today that you absolutely have to bully this dumb old asshole as a collective. Better late than never for them, but we better get used to being aggressively humiliated for the next few years.
Trump: "Based upon a very productive meeting I had with Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one... Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs"
Republicans voted for this
People who couldn’t vote for a woman voted for this
Republican complacency enables this
Protest, call elected officials but most important? Have the real and difficult conversation with people you know who voted for this after project 2025 was published.
i was in Vietnam for a while in late 2024 and it always blows some Americans minds to hear how welcoming and friendly Vietnamese people are to American tourists.
we are really just repeatedly kneeing ourselves in our own reputational crotches as a nation right now.
Our military exists to defend Americans from foreign threats.
Deploying it in the homeland—against Americans—is an unspeakable perversion of our men and women in uniform, their oath, and their dignity.
Americans on the Right and Left reject military rule.
NEWS: Pentagon ordered active-duty soldiers with a military police unit in NC to prepare for possible deployment to Minneapolis, three people familiar told @ms.now
Prepare to deploy order was issued yesterday for at least a few hundred members of an Army military police brigade based at Fort Bragg
Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul has until Wednesday to turn over employment records to the Department of Homeland Security as part of a surprise audit launched Friday, just hours after one of the shop's owners criticized ICE agents during a television interview. bit.ly/4r5AFol

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.
New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.
Seems to me the WH press corps has always served a ceremonial purpose. But... when do you begin to think of them less as fact-finders and more as a live studio audience? Now?
school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history
The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that woke, for lack of a better word, is good. Woke is right, woke works. Woke clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
Trump is selling pardons every week to people who pay $1-2 million to his PAC and is approaching 2,000 corrupt and disgusting pardons less than a year into his term, but yeah “no one is above the law.”
