You know Alex Pretti & Renee Good—the 2 white people ICE killed.

ICE has also killed Keith Porter, a Black man, Parady La, a Cambodian man, & 5 Latinos—Heber Sanchaz Domínguez, Victor Manuel Diaz, Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz, Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres, and Geraldo Lunas Campos.

9 TOTAL.

ABOLISH ICE.

With all the moral chaos and confusion haunting our national soul, I wish every Christian in the United States would read or listen to @trippfuller.bsky.social's reflection on how we managed to get here as a nation of aspiring Jesus-followers.

Compare this thread analyzing the video footage with DHS’s statement stating that the man approached officers with a gun and “wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”
Footage taken moments before a struggle shows that the man was filming, holding a phone in his right hand, backing up. His left hand is up, visible, palm facing out, as he backs away from the area. An agent uses his right hand, on the torso of the victim, pushing him back, while the man complies.

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.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

What will you learn from watching it that you can’t know from words? The *particular* shock of this *particular* murder or attempted murder. This moment in time. If you feel you can’t be shocked anymore, all the more reason. Fascism counts on us becoming “knowing” as a form of numbness & inertia.

And here’s an Omni jet landing in Equatorial Guinea yesterday. This is very likely a third-country removal to a torture prison, the second in a week and the third there overall.

One of the astounding aspects of Christian nationalism is how deeply embedded race is to the concept. I always come back to this finding:

When asked if racial or religious diversity is more likely to hinder national unity, folks who embrace CN are more likely to pick racial diversity.

The disruption of Cities Church where a pastor works for ICE is a holy embodiment of 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 which tells us the weapons we fight with aren’t just physical but spiritual.

“A pastor here is also director of the field office for ICE… so someone teaching people about God is out there overseeing ICE agents. How dare you.”

This escalates quickly, and I’m not sure that everything plays out as cleanly as outlined. I do think this is a potentiality.

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.

Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
