The Tyranny of Tiny Men
The way to fight back is not to give up on anyone. The way forward is to stand with each other, for each other.

As the Trump admin predictably rolls the National Guard into the streets and a Republican army of enablers roots for military violence against Americans, some words on why, and the way forward.

To be clear, the choice he is talking about is opposing this regime in *any* form. They are flat-out saying that any opposition gives them the right to summarily execute someone. This is state terror.
Q: Between your agency and ICE, we've known seen 2 people shot and killed with 17 days. Do either of you plan to take any accountability?
BOVINO: You're correct. Two suspects have been shot. And suspects that assault or threaten a law enforcement officer's life, it goes back to poor choices.

Federal immigration officers have shot 12 people since September as the DHS has ramped up deportation operations around the country.
In the majority of the shootings, officers have fired into cars — a tactic that authorities and policing experts have been trying to curtail. nbcnews.to/49TLGSx

Good god Republicans are really saying we should invade Greenland to give them health care. They don't even care if WE have health care.
Waltz: "Denmark has ignored Greenland from a defense standpoint and they have ignored the Greenlandic native iniut people ... if you get a cancer diagnosis in Greenland right now, it's darn near a death sentence. Denmark has not invested in the way it should've over the years."

he was murdered for doing public health
It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can

KARL: He was an ICU use who worked for the VA and there's no evidence he brandished the gun whatsoever
BESSENT: But he brought a gun

We have reached the point where a judge literally has to order federal law enforcement officials not to destroy or mess with evidence from a homicide scene.

By Saturday afternoon, some Trump admin. personnel had already begun scouring the internet and other resources trying to find information on Alex Pretti, including social media posts, that could tie him to what Team Trump call “extremists,” two sources familiar with the matter tell @zeteo.com …
New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

This is moral derangement, and the Lincoln reference shows what an ignorant hack the Crank is.
Lincoln’s Lyceum address was a defense of the rule of law, which to it mildly is not what we are seeing on the streets of Minneapolis.

Let me get this straight. In 2007, Hollywood writers went on strike so the networks made more reality TV. One of the guys in this show said Obama wasn’t born in America, so Obama made fun of him at a dinner once. TV guy got so mad he passed up the role of president in Sharknado 4 to run for real.

I promise you, with 100% certainty, that Hegseth does not care. That’s the sick part of this, they know ICE isn’t following the law, they wouldn’t keep stressing immunity if they were. They post this kind of thing largely as a troll.
Who wants to tell Pete Alex Pretti did all 3 and they killed him anyway?

This is who the feds gunned down today on a cold Minnesota street. Then, multiple top officials from the Trump admin took to every media outlet they could find to lie about his actions and smear his name. This is where we are one year into the second Trump presidency.
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.
