Europeans, do not look away from the horrifying images you see coming out of America.

This is your future if you do not urgently separate yourselves from the United States.

You are running out of time.

This is who ICE murdered. A VA nurse who dedicated his life to helping critically ill veterans.
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

A 37 year old US citizen & #Minneapolis resident has just been shot 10 times & killed by #ICE agents in the city.
The man was a first responder, part of a group monitoring ICE abuses in the community.
While he was licenced to conceal-carry a gun, videos clearly show him filming ICE with a camera
