The deaths of two American citizens in Minneapolis at the hands of law enforcement have plunged the country into a political crisis much like the one after the killing of George Floyd in the same city in 2020. But this time, tech and an erosion of trust have transformed the way news unfolds online.

Trigger fingered, pot belled fanatics are roaming the streets of American cities threatening to kill people for driving those same streets. This cannot stand.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Folks, please retweet this. Trump, Noem, and the rest are lying everywhere about what ICE is doing in MN. We have to do everything we can to make sure the country has a clear picture of what is going on.

Leigh Wambsganns devoted her professional life to Trump and his movement. On Friday, he seemed to reward her loyalty by endorsing her campaign for Texas senate. But after she lost a safe GOP seat by double digits, Trump says he’s never heard of her: “What can I say? I have nothing to do with it.”

scenes from occupied Minneapolis: “A man sitting in a car watching a house woth a gun on his lap and a mask on his face. Claims he didn't know the house has already been raided 2x.”

ICE is no longer an immigration enforcement agency. It has become Trump’s domestic army. If my “conservative” colleagues truly believe in small government, they should join us in demanding an end to masked federal agents terrorizing communities across this country.

President Trump is mentioned in the latest batch of released files on Jeffrey Epstein thousands of times, The New York Times found. The mentions include unverified claims, as well as documents that had already been made public. Here is what our review of the files has found so far.

The families of two Trinidadian men killed in a U.S. boat strike off the coast of Venezuela have filed a wrongful-death lawsuit, the first legal challenge to the Trump administration’s lethal attacks on boats.

"How will you say 'no' this week when an appropriations bill is going to be considered? Will you contact your representatives? Will you ask them, for the love of God and the love of human beings... to vote against renewing funding for such a lawless organization?" www.ncronline.org/news/cardina...

I’m out here in Los Angeles, where hundreds have gathered in response to the ICE execution of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Chants and speeches underway here outside the Federal Building in DTLA. Working multiple cameras today so posts may be sparse

“We have a nice little database.” Two weeks ago I wrote about the risk of Trump using his NSPM-7 memo to treat citizens exercising their rights like terrorists. Now it’s a reality. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

If the government executing us in the streets isn’t your red line, then you’ve already decided to endorse it. There’s no gray area left. No ambiguity.

Klobuchar: "I have personally warned this administration that there would be more deaths, that more of this would happen, and clearly they are not listening. So we ask people around the country to talk to their Republican representatives, to make clear this is not the America that is ours."

On the execution in Minnesota: Obviously, the individuals involved should be held accountable. But responsibility goes to the top of ICE and CBP, and DHS. Their appropriations come up next week in the senate. Not a cent for DHS without pulling ICE and CBP off the streets, in MN and everywhere else.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were both American citizens. Both were shot and killed by Donald Trump’s federal agents.

ICE's latest victim has been identified as 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti of south Minneapolis. He was a U.S. citizen.

Iran was threatened for killing protesters. After two killings in America, is it ok for Iran to now threaten America for killing protesters?

We stand with Minnesota today and every single day. ICE is terrorizing our communities. We must call our members of Congress and urge them to stop funding ICE.

There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

sweeterthansweet.bsky.social reposted

This is why it’s so important to see all the video you can before making a judgement (looking at you DHS). Video appears to show the victim trying to protect another person & being pulled down by agents. There needs to be a credible investigation, not one by CBP/ICE www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

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.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

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."

I’ve reached out to both Gov. Walz and Sen. Klobuchar following the latest shooting involving federal agents in Minnesota. Marylanders have witnessed this cruelty in our own communities – during a school drop-off in Salisbury and in Glen Burnie on Christmas Eve. These are not isolated incidents.
