Feds have been ramming people with their cars. No one has murdered them in response.

If the suggestion here is that these officers killed Pretti because of this previous incident, that’s worse. Kicking a tail light is not a capital crime. And we don’t do delayed, extrajudicial executions here.
Okay so I was actually at this encounter, filmed the aftermath, and am briefly visible in this video, and I would point out that what he does here is briefly kick a car twice. ICE beats him up, shoots pepper balls into the crowd, and launches tear gas at everyone else before leaving.
News Movement posted this video of Alex Pretti on Jan 13, showing him spitting at ICE agents and kicking their taillight.

Now conservatives are suggesting this changes things.

That would mean they are suggesting he deserved to be target of an extrajudicial execution.

The video changes nothing.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Hey Border Czar Tom “Cava” Homan at @icegov.bsky.social:

You know my name. You know where I live because your agents tailed me home twice. I spent 5 hours today following them and will spend 5 hours tomorrow. Come put me on TV so I can tell the whole world what I’ve seen you do to my neighbors.
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Today, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and honor the survivors who shared their stories so we never forget. "Never again" isn't just words—it's a commitment. With antisemitism rising, we can't be silent. We have to stand against hate wherever it appears.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Republican politicians who think that Minneapolis is a political problem are missing the point. It is a moral problem. But they are in so deep that they cannot see just how morally bankrupt they have become. They do not understand that we are as revulsed by their complicity as by Trump's cruelty.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

Dems should introduce lots of such legislation, demand hearings and debate, make a huge fuss, use paid media to call out GOP members who are blocking their consideration--and make clear this GOP Congress is enabling the madness.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

They didn’t just shoot him. They executed him. It’s fascism. They’re modern Nazis. They’re criminals. Any reasonable government would impeach and arrest the president now, today.

ICE is detaining U.S. citizen children, even when passports are shown - this is to terrorize neighborhoods. Witness it?

📍 Note time, place, names.
📹 Film—lawfully, clearly.
📞 Call CPS + immigrant hotlines.
📝 Send proof to legal advocates.
✋ Do not interfere.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

They’re fighting for all of us, their courage an inspiration.
Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

Oh, look. The white president who thinks that asylum seekers come from insane asylums, that the Norwegian government gives out the Nobel Peace Prize, that stealth bombers are invisible to the naked eye, and that windmills cause cancer is talking about which black people have a "low IQ" again.
