So Kyle Rittenhouse, who attended a protest armed with a loaded assault rifle and killed 2 people is a right-wing hero.

But Alex Pretti who had a holstered, permitted handgun, was recording ICE, and tried to help a pepper-sprayed woman deserved to die?

No one is buying this BS.
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

The Trump regime's position seems to be that Republicans have the right to bear arms and everyone else has the right to get shot by them.

A sworn affidavit from a physician who witnessed Border Patrol shooting Alex Pretti:

“…I did not see him attack the agents
or brandish a weapon of any kind. …I then saw the agents shoot the man
at least six or seven times.”

So many of us are heartsick for the victims of this brutality, committed by the US government

There is no justification for such barbarity

We have descended into a rogue nation, headed by a ruthless dictator, with ICE as his secret police

I am both brokenhearted and terrified of what comes next

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

The Trump administration’s brazen military assault risks causing a new human rights disaster for Venezuelans.

The US appears poised to actively encourage Venezuela to maintain Nicolás Maduro’s repressive apparatus as long as it furthers US interests.

Children will die with RFK Jr.'s new vaccine recommendations. We're NOT doing the "experts disagree" game. The US vaccine schedule was painstakingly constructed through a deep & thorough process by experts with unquestionable expertise. This is policy by fiat. It is pre-meditated murder. 1/

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
