We're horrified & outraged: Immigration agents have once again committed cold-blooded murder of a public observer who posed no threat to them.
This time, they've executed a fellow nurse, Alex Pretti. We demand justice and accountability. Abolish ICE, now! https://bit.ly/4big77u

State violence workers in their very existence are antithetical to the goals of labor organizing. They never should have been accepted into unions, and they should have been expelled years ago. You can not organize with the people breaking your strikes and killing your neighbors.
My god.

What a stark, horrifying demonstration of the tension a union opens itself to when it organizes security forces.
If you hesitate to condemn the killing of a member, for fear of alienating the members who fired the guns, what sort of cage have you built around your union?

On a pink official form.
Unendowed with wealth or pity,
Little birds with scarlet legs,
Sitting on their speckled eggs,
Eye each flu-infected city.

This Bay Area County Says It Cut Ties with ICE. This Program Says Otherwise. - Bolts
A widespread data-sharing program highlights financial ties between local police and immigration enforcement—and how even sanctuary jurisdictions still feed “the deportation machine.”

Nobody fucking cares, either you want to be in a society or you don’t.
As a former Corporate Employee of Hilton, it's a tough position. They could make a business decision to turn away about 12-18% of GVT business. Or they can ban with the other major Hotel corps to lobby the Gvt to house agents elsewhere. As for this hotel, they are a franchisee.

if democrats can't even get their heads around destroying ICE when we watch videos of ICE killing people in the street, then you absolutely cannot trust dem leadership to actively push on the project to destroy ICE if they're ever in a position to benefit from wielding state violence again.

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."

“I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice.
Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be
counting his bullet wounds.”
