Retired SPED teacher. I love living in Minnesota and my grandkids are my favorite people.
And….they called it a riot. Two ladies and a guy trying to help each other up.
Yes. Reporting neglects how Pretti’s shooting was immediately preceded by uncalled-for-aggression against women, by a cosplaying masked man.
Advancing needlessly to Hard shove one woman, then advancing to shove another woman down onto snow and ice, then spraying Pretti.

This was just a guy working at the VA (probably for less money than he could’ve made outside of government) who was bothered seeing the abuses in MN. His last act was to help a woman who was pushed down for no reason up. CLEAR AS DAY!
“Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
— Michael and Susan Pretti, whose son Alex died amid a barrage of gunfire from federal agents, and whose reputation is being smeared by top federal officials.

That injustice has occurred, we do not excuse.
That peace has been shattered, we do not deny.
But for the nation that accepts summary death and stochastic terror, there is no path forward.

I’m old enough to remember the 200th as a 15 yr old. Our town had street dances and parades and it was great fun for a few days. I’m sad this one may not be as joyous.
This is just my opinion but how on Earth could we celebrate a 250th birthday. My American flag is rolled up in the shed and won't come out until democracy is restored

So Bovino is doing a presser (1:45 pm on Sunday) talking about choice…is it smart to send a man out that blatantly lied just this morning to try and explain this away? To justify a murder?

They don’t want the videos because they reveal the truth. The footage isn’t the problem, the lies are.
When DHS talks, the story collapses. When people film, truth holds.
We bear witness because power lies best in the dark. If they won’t tell the truth, we must.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
