The Trump regime is smearing this man - Alex Pretti - as a “domestic terrorist.” We can’t let them get away with it.

Alex Pretti was a patriotic American - far more so than the ICE agent who murdered him on the streets of Minneapolis today. Far more so than Trump, Stephen Miller, or any of them.
A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

St Paul, Minnesota, Jan.18, 2026.
ICE raids the home of an elderly man of Hmong origin. They abduct him in his boxers and what appears to be a simple plaid on his shoulders in icy cold temperatures. The neighbors are horrified at the sight of his kidnapping.

I don’t know which conservative Democrats need to hear this history lesson, but the German elected officials who voted to fund the Gestapo were considered Nazi collaborators.

History is watching.

I saw that The Graduate hotel is hosting ICE in Minneapolis. I won't be staying at that chain until they stop. @graduatehotels.bsky.social Please contact your local Graduate hotel if you agree.

This is f*cked up!

There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling.

And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen.

So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

Absolutely clear that the driver was trying to drive AWAY from these ICE "officers"
This video captures the murder at 29 frames per second. This gives you some perspective about how quickly the officer decided the situation warranted lethal force. ICE claims the driver tried to run the officer over. Judge for yourself with the following breakdown. 🧵

Pam Bondi, you can fuck off. I have a First Amendment right to film ICE. In fact, we’ve built an app for immigrants to lawfully fight back against ICE. We’re raising $ to get the “know your rights” app to those who most need it. Hey Pam, make a contribution. Here’s the GoFundMe link: PAXIS.app.

Senators like Kaine should resign mid-term, but insofar as they won’t, they ought to serve as archetypes for candidates who need to lose their primary elections. This kind of irresolute wimpiness ~entirely explains Democrats’ historically consequential failures in the Trump era.

Republican: I am

Talarico: Yet this bill includes writings of Alexis de Tocqueville, and he's not even American. Could that be because he's a white man?

Republican: N-not exactly…
