Went to my local library this morning to do a bit of research for my current book project and my goodness such a life-affirming space! There was an adult being taught to read on the next table, children enjoying story time, countless people taking out books. So grateful for our libraries ❤️

“Melania” still hasn’t been screened for critics which is a sign that it’s a dumpster fire of a film.
I’m going opening night to write about it for my media project.
It should be fun. 🤣

Many TikTok users recently reported problems uploading videos, sudden drops to zero views, or posts getting stuck “under review.” Almost all of those complaints involved videos criticizing ICE or discussing the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Brandishing is a legal term that means to display all or part of a firearm, or otherwise make its presence known to another person to intimidate them, regardless of whether it's directly visible to that person. Given the video, that's not what Alex Pretti was doing when he was shot & killed.
Important context, this is the victim’s behavior BEFORE being tackled
He’s not threatening, he’s not brandishing, he’s filming

Video before it happens is showing this guy they shot in the head in Minneapolis was just standing there videoing them before and they got out to push him back and then murder him.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

NYT video review confirms this. Pretti had a 2nd Am right to carry a firearm. But even if he didn’t he wasn’t pointing it at anyone or threatening agents. There is no legal justification for the execution-style shooting & no basis for DHS’s claim he was there to massacre them. He was a helper.

It has been confirmed that Alex was a lawful gun owner and did not threaten ICE with a weapon. Early video reports indicate the weapon was taken by ICE and shots were then fired to execute him.
