Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.

Creators and commentators are reporting their Alex Pretti videos are being taken down on multiple platforms. Download those videos while you can folks.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

This is who they shot today. Who will it be tomorrow and who knows how we can stop it? Is America great now?

Sympathies to all who knew Alex, his family and to the good people of Minnesota. Absolutely tragic.
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.

A frightening byproduct of professional activism is that average people think they need to be certain, brave, and an expert in order to go do something. You don't. Do it unsure. Do it scared. Do it without having read all the books. Showing up for your community doesn't require a degree.

“the Feds are supposed to be fighting to protect your civil rights, not to take them away.” Pritzker
Pritzker: The Insurrection Act is designed for circumstances where your rights can’t be protected by local authorities

This is exactly the opposite.

Your civil rights are being infringed upon by CBP and ICE, and then they want to call in troops claiming that they’re protecting CBP and ICE.

Lifting everyone in the US to a standard of living where a single income provides a one bed apartment, the opportunity to purchase a car, save for retirement and take a few weeks off a year should be the goal and campaign platform for every damn Democrat running for office.

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.

So, we’ve called our Congressman. It hasn’t done shit. We’ve protested peacefully; they’ve shot us in the face. Now what? I ask the question nobody wants to ask.
If we don’t fight back, where will we be in a year?

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

Steves purchased the property to prevent it from closing. Many homeless people had come to depend on the Lynnwood Hygiene Center, which had operated rent-free on the property since 2020.

Mike Johnson closed the House down early to avoid a vote on extending ACA tax credits. Nice try, Mike—all that does is give us more time to rally up support.
