How any Minnesotan could even entertain watching this agitprop garage as this administration lays siege on our state is totally beyond me.

Matt Walsh is a limpdicked pussy who would never dare to step foot here in MN. I'd love for him to do that so I could spit in his face, but he never would.

These people are truly vile, despicable, evil people.

Good. I hope they’re absolutely fucking miserable. Nothing has united the state more than our collective hatred of ICE

I say again, this does not even approach a scintilla of the accountability that is required. These are PR moves.

It’s not enough. He needs to be put on trial. The pain and terror that he’s inflicted on all of us Minnesotans is unconscionable and we deserve justice.

Fuck Greenwald anyway. He covered for and defended this administration, downplaying the reality of Trump was going to do. He's enabled this by being a defender of Trump so even if I agree with him, he's still to blame, in part, for Alex Pretti's death.

They want more violence. ICE are the murderers and rapists that Trump wants to unleash on us, not the immigrants. Pure projection. Plain and simple.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Too fucking late. This is what Trump wants! He wants us to be executed on the streets! He wants lawlessness and chaos. This is all intentional. She surely can't be serious.

They're kidnapping and murdering us for fun here in Minnesota.

I was at the protest the day after Alex Pretti's execution. The only violence was from ICE agents teargassing and detaining protestors. They kidnap our neighbors with impunity and murder us in our streets. They then gaslight us and tell us we're the violent ones. These people are pure evil.
Kristi Noem: "These are not just agitators anymore. They are violent protests. Frankly, this didn't turn violent until we uncovered the fraud in Minneapolis."

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Absolute fucking ghouls. These people are soulless monsters who enjoy watching innocent people suffer and die. Fuck them all.

What this tells ICE agents is this: If you kill protestors, we'll cover it up for you. Act with impunity.

It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing

Unfortunately this is not surprising in the least. It’s really up to the citizens at this point to push back.

SALT ICE, 1-3pm tomorrow at the Whipple Building, and every Saturday, until ICE leaves us alone.

This form of retributive murder from ICE will not be the last. These are exactly the kind of individuals ICE hires. Murderous thugs with no impulse control and no empathy. They’re filling the ranks with sociopathic and brainless goons. Dark times.

People like Trump and Musk are deeply miserable people. Nothing in the world can give them what any human truly needs: meaningful, loving connections with others. Keep that in mind. These people are constructs of deep pathology that makes them weak. We can, and will, overcome these obstacles.

It's more than just okay to take care of yourself during these trying times, it's a necessity. Please, everyone! Do your best to try to laugh and enjoy life so that you have the fortitude and resilience to stand up when the time calls.

Something I've been doing is focusing on self care. I've been in a dark place these last few weeks, and I've recognized the need to get my mind in the right place. Self care is incredibly important. We can't resist and stand up to autocracy if our mind and body is in shambles.

... only if we come together. Vague, I know, but I think it's an important point. We have to remind ourselves that Trump and his ilk want us to feel nothing but despair. They fear us more than anything coming together and taking action. If that's what they fear, then that is what we must do...

With all of the horrible news swirling around us constantly, we must remember that this crisis presents an opportunity. This presents an opportunity to come together as individuals, and recognize what matters to us as a society. I believe we can and will overcome this great challenge...
