Proud resident of Pruder Street, not Pruder Way or Pruder Lane, in Fargo. I do radio commercials for products.
By then, they’ll probably kill somebody else, sad to say.

A bunch of thugs, from the top down.
Hugo Lowell told MSNOW that the Trump administration expects that the murder of Alex Pretti will "blow over and go away." They believe that Americans will forget about it in a week or so.

Gov. Walz calls out federal officials who described Alex Pretti as a 'domestic terrorist.'

"Sitting behind a keyboard at 2 a.m. and besmirching a V.A. nurse and a son and a co-worker and a friend is despicable beyond all description."

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents?

Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

Public executions will continue until the citizenry is silent.
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.

Hey, Guy Who Literally Dresses Up Like A Nazi, when you kidnap people and act like the Gestapo, that shit is going to happen. It's not vilifying when you're a villain
Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

I know it's hard for Maria Baritromo to understand this, but the same First Amendment that gives her the right to go on the air and promote autocracy in America also protects people on the street to document what's happening.
Maria Bartiromo implied it was illegal to film federal agents. It's not. She then said that Alex Pretti "holding a gun up to Border Patrol" Pretti never touched his legal gun during the entire interaction he had with the Border Patrol agents when they killed him.

The fact that every right winger with influence screams "who is paying for all of this" tells you exactly how awash in cash they all are, and how much they rely on that to keep their movement afloat.
James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

ICE and CBP will be remembered with the same derision someday as the Stasi, the KGB and the Gestapo.

And for the same reasons.
Gov. Mikie Sherrill: "This is about a basically Stasi-type force of secret police that wear masks, that are unidentifiable, that are unaccountable, that have leadership in the Trump administration blatantly lying about what's going on"

Never forget and never forgive the people who did this, from the idiots who mocked us when we told them this would happen, to the monsters who are carrying it out. Make them carry that shame for the rest of their miserable lives. Make them pariahs. May they never enjoy a moment of peace.

Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

Bovino is a neo-Nazi scumbag.
Bash: "It feels as though you're blaming the victim here."

The murders will continue until you stop calling us murderers.

There is no bottom.
The Border Patrol Union in a statement on X:
"... that their irresponsible, hate-filled and false rhetoric is going to get people unnecessarily hurt, or worse, killed when they portray our agents and officers as the aggressors."

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

It's more than lies at this point.
It's an assault on the truth and facts.
They're telling us want they want us to believe, under penalty of death - of the law, of the American system of government of logic, of facts, of potentially ourselves.
Trump's regime lies. And every lie is an attack on us.
Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

I don't know if there's a Minnesota Nice way to tell someone to go fuck themselves, but that's something Tim Walz should tell Bondi to do in writing.

Bondi's letter—essentially offering to stop attacking and murdering citizens in Minnesota in exchange for the state's voter rolls—shows what Trump, Miller et al. are really after:

They want to fuck with the nation's elections so that they never have to cede power or answer for their crimes.
