I’d just like to point out it appears Alex Pretti was holding an iPhone in his hand just before he was murdered by Trump’s lawless thugs. Tonight Tim Cook attended a private screening of Melania’s movie at White House.
Let that sink in.

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

They killed him, and then they immediately set to concocting lies about him. I know the killing is worse, and yet I can't escape the thought that the lying is what reveals the deeper abyss.

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..”

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.
Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

In the last 24 hours, we have learned that the regime's secret police claim powers to enter homes without a warrant, thus ignoring the Bill of Rights, and that the regime arrested and deported students for their Constitutionally protected speech.
There is no ambiguity about what is going on here.

We are so far past the Rubicon that it isn't worth having a discussion anymore as to whether Trump is acting as an authoritarian. The only question is whether we have the strength and courage to get back to the other side.

I think that what’s going in Minneapolis is right up there among the worst things the federal government has ever done in US history. Plenty of bad things before, but terrorizing an entire city for weeks, just because it supports the opposition: that seems unprecedented.
It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

I know I don't have a ton of media followers, but I'll put this out there anyway: if you need someone to comment/offer context on the removal of the slavery exhibit at the President's House site in Philly, get in touch. I just finished an entire book on Americans' fight over Washington and slavery.

Yet in less than 24 hours, this kid and his Dad were nabbed off our streets and sent to Texas, using tactics that can only be described as pure evil.

In Minneapolis, ICE arrested a 5-year-old coming home from preschool and tried to use him as human bait.
His teacher describes him as “a bright young student.”
