He didn’t have a gun. Anyone who says different should be charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

“Nice people made the best Nazis..

They got along, refused to make waves, looked the other way when things got ugly and focused on happier things than “politics.”

They were lovely people who turned their heads as their neighbors were dragged away.

You know who weren’t nice people?

Resisters.”

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. His heart sank as he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him......And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right.

Today’s Russian newspapers on the old world order unraveling: “Will Greenland become Nato’s cemetery? The transatlantic partnership has begun to crack & crumble.” Another paper: “The architecture of the world order is collapsing before our very eyes.” #ReadingRussia
"Will Greenland become Nato's cemetery?" asks Russian paper.

Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”

Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

“You got signed judicial warrant to gain access to the scene and we’re still denied access by federal agents?”

“Yes, that’s accurate.”

We demand accountability and justice. Pam Bondi isn’t providing the people of the United States with either. Bondi is a disgrace.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

Go to the Bellingcat post and read the entire thread. The evidence is conclusive - this was an execution of an unarmed man.
Federal law enforcement agents shot and killed a man in Minneapolis on Jan. 24 according to local police officials. DHS told Fox News that the man was “armed with a gun”. A video of the shooting appears to show that a gun was taken from the man before the first shot was fired. x.com/BillMelugin_...

Our initial analysis is up.

The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot.

He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

I hold Donald J Trump accountable for the murder of a man in Minneapolis today. This deadly ICE operation is his responsibility. Sending violent, untrained agents to Minnesota by the thousands was his decision to abuse the leaders and people of Minnesota, not conduct lawful deportation operations.

I'm starting to see a lot of "ups, sorry" posts on social media from Americans. Blaming the catastrophe that is Donald Trump on just him and his inner circle. Never forget, that he was elected in 2024 by a MAJORITY. 77 million Americans thought it would be a good idea to elect a convicted criminal,

When you watch the horrifying video of ICE agents murdering another human in Minneapolis at point-blank range, remember that these violent, untrained thugs have been empowered by a sadistic criminal who occupies our White House. This cannot go on.

He yells, “I’m a corrections officer”, but ICE didn’t give a sh*t.

MAINE: 7 ICE agents against one “squeaky clean” corrections recruit.

The sheriff said, “They all took off leaving his car with the windows down, the lights on, unsecured and unoccupied. Folks, that’s bush league policing.”
