After crashing a noise demo, an agent with an unexplained bloody nose distracted a gaggle of press with a bizarre spectacle, shooting a pot-banging demonstrator with a bean bag round while other agents inside led a line of masked people carrying luggage through the back of the hotel. [Video]

Consider: We know for a fact Democrats love police violence, because they continue to fund police and DHS, while broadly supporting them with their rhetoric. Perhaps the reason they want more bodycams is the same reason as the GOP: a snuff film industry enjoyed by the ruling class.
wild to see any Democrats “unite” around any bodycam proposal after DHS has said they’ve got multiple bodycam videos of agents killing Alex Pretti

This is a big reason why Marxist-Leninist teachings advocate for supporting national sovereignty against colonial incursions, even if the country isn't Socialist. Our enemies regard us as the same side and use similar tactics, so we might as well act like it and support each other.
MAGA military geniuses are talking about Minnesota protestors like they are the Iraqi insurgency, the Taliban, and the Viet Cong all rolled into one.

PSA: Do not organize with anyone who gets chummy with the National Guard when they try to hand out coffee and doughnuts. They are willingly engaging in counter-insurgency and have more than enough available information to know better.

Who would protect them from the consequences of exploiting their (perceived or actual) employees and tenants?
Question for the crowd:
Why do you think moderates, liberals, and other folks are scared or have an aversion to the word “abolish”?

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

The militants repelled their show of force so now they'll attempt to gather info and infiltrate.
Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

That's exactly what they're doing, the problem is the settler colony itself. Minneapolis disrupted the flow of profit for a day so they killed Alex Pretti. This is the response the framers intended.
Now would an excellent time for military leaders that actually stand for the constitution to make their voices heard.

look at them. murderers itching to murder again but these people chose to stay, to film, to witness, to risk being next, to risk having their families targeted, their names dragged through the mud before their bodies are even cold. i wish they did not have to be brave but i'm grateful that they are.
From Whittier a few hrs ago—after shooting & killing an ICE responder in Minneapolis, 37 yr old Alex Pretti, DHS agents brutalized a crowd that gathered & flooded the area w/ tear gas.
@andral404.bsky.social captured this moment against a building where a fed then pointed his rifle at someone.

-5°F in Minneapolis tonight.
At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades.
Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."

This really doesn't seem like an appropriate and proportional response to mass murder, kidnapping and torture.
James Talarico: “It’s time to tear down this secret police force & replace it with an agency that actually is going to focus on public safety—
We have to haul these masked men in front of Congress so the world can see their faces”

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

Tobias Kinter Bencosme, 44, of Miami, FL, is an ICE Supervisory Detention Agent who participated in the illegal home invasion and kidnapping of an elderly American citizen in St Paul, MN on 1/18/2026. Bencosme dragged the Hmong grandfather outside in the frigid air wearing only boxers and a blanket.
