The official regime position is that dissenters are "domestic terrorists". That a ridiculous LIE! If they actually believe it themselves, then it shows how fragile these Nazi-wannabe snowflakes are if they can be "terrorized" by generally unarmed people with cardboard signs.
Thom Hartmann says that the true message of the criminal Trump regime isn't about immigration. It is, "comply or die". It seems so. If so, then they are deeply un-American, anti-democratic autocrats who need TO GO! Where are the Republican cowards who pretend to support the Constitution?? 🤔

Steve Bannon ridiculously says this criminal regime he represents must keep killing demonstrators because resistance to this regime is being done by a "well organized COMMUNIST conspiracy". That's one way to make communism look good to ppl who wouldn't have thought that B4.

Is the government ever going to release the name of the masked agent who killed Alex Pretti or are we going to continue to have a federal secret police in this country?

Many see a comparison of Kyle Rittenhouse and the ICE murderers as being inconsistent. In one way it IS consistent: the American system protects right wing, racist murderers.

People on-line keep criticizing obvious hypocrisy of 2A/"anti-govt" types who aren't now up in arms against US Govt gunning down citizens, banning speech, etc. Seems they aren't truly "anti-govt", but are anti-liberal democratic govt.

“Shot dead” is passive. “murdered” names the actor. Words matter, especially when the state is pulling the trigger.

Correct. But video shows the fascists taking his gun before they shot him.
I just want to clarify he may have had his legally owned gun on him. (2nd Amendment right) But none of the videos show him pulling it.

15 years ago I borrowed a bulletproof vest from a reporter so I could report from a war zone. I held onto it after I returned.
Last week the reporter finally asked for it back because he is headed to Minneapolis.

Stephen Miller called the victim, an ICU nurse at the VA filming ICE, a “domestic terrorist who tried to assassinate federal law enforcement.” Greg Bovino said he “wanted to massacre law enforcement.” You saw the videos. How can any Republican not call for their resignations?

Sure seems like the encouragement to retaliate against the people of Minnesota after the march yesterday came from the regime itself.
This is an actual post from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth: Praising ICE after Alex Pretti was killed, blaming the Democratic leadership of Minnesota, and writing that ICE is greater/better than Minnesota.
He is actively demeaning the people of Minnesota just hours after Pretti was murdered.

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

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."

Why did #Arsenal pay so much money for Eze when they don't have any intention of giving him a reasonable amount of playing time?? 🤔 #PremierLeague

Armed self defense is morally justified against lethal violence.
ICE needs to be held legally accountable, but in the meantime, we need to keep people from being kidnapped and murdered.
Consider community organizing to stop ICE from entering your community, or at least deter them.

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go.
Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.
