Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Kristi Noem and DHS don’t want us to see this video.

📌 Alex was disarmed BEFORE he was shot. This was murder.

If you thought Superman was right for fighting fascists in the 1970s but now you think he’s wrong for fighting fascists in the 2020s, then Superman didn’t go woke… you went fascist.

Every now and then I think about how @mradamscott.bsky.social was on the Defiant at Wolf359 and was beamed to the Enterprise and therefore went back in time, fought the Borg, and what an epic trauma that would be for his character to look back on in a new #StarTrek series.

He’s right. We want to do away with the popular vote.

Republicans should immediately get rid of the electoral college to teach us a lesson.

Syria: Assad regime soldiers were seen fleeing and changing into civilian clothing in the alleyways of Damascus.
The capital city of 2.5 million was taken by the rebels in mere hours essentially without resistance.

Look at the density in the depth of this photo! And this is before the Public Broadcaster protesters joined the main crowd as well. Day 4!

Be wary of accounts claiming to be fighters in #Ukraine. Scams and bots seem to particularly pretend to be women in combat. If they follow you, they will often give the same message when you follow back
