The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment
"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.
At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Everyone - and I mean everyone - knows deep down that if Kamala Harris were President right now Alex Pretti and Renee Good would be alive today. Death to bothsidesism.

We should be against citizens being killed in the streets in Minneapolis. We should be against citizens being killed in the streets in Iran. In Ukraine. In Gaza. That this sometimes cuts across political lines is morally abominable. Life and liberty to all. Human rights for all.
