police police are like the democrats and ice police are like the republicans.
we pay for both with our wretched labor. which group has been protecting you? which group has been a good steward of your shrinking dollar?

Breonna Taylor was killed because her boyfriend thought people were breaking into his house while police were serving a “no knock” warrant in the middle of the night too…

I have been thinking all day about the number of times unarmed Black people were killed by police on the pretext that their cell phone looked like a gun. And people would say “oh but you just don‘t know what the truth is.” Well here it is.
OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

They’re fighting for their city but they’re also fighting for all of us
We owe an incredible debt to the Minnesotans who are on the streets protesting and documenting what is happening.

Please keep this same energy with the police.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

as many more as you allow.
frey is attempting to appeal to a humanity that is not and has never been within this administration. the death, cruelty, and brutality is the point. look to venezuela to see how far they will go.

i don’t want to see not one motherfucker say ice and police aren’t the same again.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol has announced "Every OHP trooper has completed the process to become credentialed by ICE as a designated immigration officer"
"Operation Guardian" has begun, setting up checkpoints throughout the state

Not gonna lie, living here in WA that has so many deep ties with Microsoft, Amazon, Starbucks and Boeing makes me think that we as a state need to collectively reckon with our labor propping up such pillars of unchecked power and greed.

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

can’t stop thinking about how frey and walz have done nothing to get ice out of their city / state.. nothing to protect their citizens.
is this what we’re to expect across the country? what city / state is next? i’ve already seen ice vehicles in atlanta.

ice has murdered someone else in minnesota, and people are really still talking about “training.”
training will not save you, just like the midterms will not save you, just like ytness will not save you.. hell, these davos deals will not save you either.

🎯
Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

New in PN: What if we just stopped paying taxes?
"Like many other blue states, Minnesota pays more to the federal government than it takes in. But why should the state continue to subsidize a government bent on destroying it? What if it just … didn’t?"
