Alex Pretti wasn't killed by rhetoric, he was killed by two masked CBP agents shooting him 10 times in the back after they had disarmed and pepper sprayed him.
Rhetoric didn't kill Renee Good either, a thug from ICE did that with a gun as she tried to avoid hurting him.

Trump and his backers campaigned on releasing the Epstein files.
Now they are doing everything possible to bury them.
The reason is simple: they are all in them.

🇺🇸🤔 Donald Trump wasn't surprised by Russia's latest attack on Ukraine, White House Press Secretary said.
Leavitt: His reaction, unfortunately, was not surprise. A war that would never have started if Trump were still in office. It started because of the weakness and incompetence of Joe Biden.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
