We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

It is more important than ever to bear video witness of not just every masked ICE incursion, but every police stop by actual cops.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

As masked federal agents terrorize and kill American citizens Mike Lawler does NOTHING to stop it. I was a military police officer in the Army. I know what law enforcement is about. Protecting and serving, NOT the weaponization of government against its own people.

ICE killed a man who was an ICU nurse for veterans.

Alex Pretti was acting as an ICE observer and lawfully recording the agents when he was stopped, detained, DISARMED, and then SHOT multiple times by ICE agents.

Alex had a legal permit to carry and he did not draw his weapon.

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.

White. Hot. Rage.

They switched quickly from 'people need guns to protect from a tyrannical government' to murdering people lawfully carrying a gun.

Mark Carney was probably pretty depressed today after Trump disinvited him from his Board of Peace. Probably didn’t even want to get out of bed. Had to be a devastating blow.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

Ask yourself, as you watch this shocking, awful video, is this what a “defensive shot” looks like?

Tricia McLaughlin wants to cover up another ICE murder.
