seeing conservatives admit alex pretti was disarmed and need to change their message to “well you know where you won’t get shot? at home” is just an impressive level of pathetic allegiance to their dictator

Bill Melugin of Fox News may be the best-sourced journalist within ICE and CBP. If he's hearing this, the administration has a real problem.

Wrote about him in TNR, prior to Renee Good. Remarkably similar incident. He’d just dropped off his kid. They rushed his car. He tried to flee. Cops then claimed he tried to run them over, despite video evidence to the contrary.
Should’ve been a warning.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Second direct witness to Alex Pretti's killing comes forward.
Court declaration:
"I saw him yelling at the ICE agents, but I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind.
Suddenly, an ICE agent shoved him to the ground."

This makes it clear that when Trump speaks of “peace” he means “I will take a piece of this, you can have a piece of that…”
Vladimir Putin, a war criminal and dictator, has reportedly been invited to join the Board of Peace for Gaza - a sheer mockery of the horrific situations in Gaza and Ukraine, where the paths to peace remain fragile at best and countless lives hang in the balance.

Vladimir Putin invited to join 'Peace Council' for Gaza, Kremlin says
Donald Trump is to head a Board of Peace for Gaza, which also features Sir Tony Blair on the executive committee. But separately, the US president has asked 60 world leaders to become members.

Between Mamdani and Spanberger, the establishment of "instantly repeal all the bullshit the last pig put in place" as Democratic priority #1 for both democratic socialists and ex-CIA types is an extremely heartening development.
The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

The gun should have never come out at all. First rule of gun safety is never even AIM a gun, let alone fire, unless you intend to kill. That means even in the general direction of anyone. This isn't a James Bond movie. People have a chance of dying any time a gun is involved regardless of intent.
