I’m humbled by her bravery.
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.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Explicit acknowledgment the state is against them and doesn't want them there.
“ICE > MN”
Our fascist leaders explicitly declaring that their untrained paramilitary of goons, a two-decade agency whose massive budget funds thugs in hoodies and body armor with rifles, is more important than an entire American state of 6 million people.

it’s remarkable how much GOP resentment is driven by grievance over the impact of COVID and state response and now they’re recreating all its impacts through state-sanctioned terror

As JD Vance starts trying to play "nice Gestapo" to Steven Miller's "mean Gestapo," it's worth emphasizing that what's happening in Minnesota is a direct descendant of Vance's knowingly false racist demagoguery during the campaign. "Somalis are low-IQ thieves" is "Haitians are eating your pets."

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.

Yeah, you really don't want to watch the video from the woman in the pink coat. I'll just say it very clearly shows ICE instigating the confrontation. This was a summary execution. There is no doubt. It is horrific.

Observers have been working day and night to protect these neighborhoods from ICE, make the streets safe so kids can go to school and people can go to their jobs. Burning down the street undoes all our work. The people setting fires haven’t been putting in long hours watching plates or doors.

Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

For example, I do not think Bush would have digitally altered an arrest photo to make it more racist. (He can speak out any fucking time by the way.)
I’m so sick of “oh are you SURPRISED??” being the response to this. It matters because there will come a day after this where they’re going to try to claim that they have principals and should be respected and we get to point at all this shit, shake our heads, and say “nuh-uh”.
The principals were always, always pointed at their chosen out-groups and enemies, not to be applied to themselves.

It’s no comfort, but the official DHS line being “he can be killed by masked agents of the state because he had a legal gun” is such an interesting new frontier in how Trump has made the conservative movement very publicly and embarrassingly abandon every principal it once claimed.
