All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.

That and the combination of apologists and paid Russian troll accounts
These echo chambers are made by recommendation algorithms, by social connection (and rupture), by our own biases, and by deliberate propaganda machines. They seem impenetrable.

Ten shots after they disarmed him. Shots continuing even after the body is lifeless. Thats execution
What a lying piece of shit.
Sen. Hoeven: "We can't just go by what we saw on videos on social media. We've got to get the facts. But in a situation where an individual appears to have approached law enforcement, intervened while they're trying to do their job, and he has a loaded handgun, think about that."

Why is Donald Trump obsessed with Minnesota?

Vox’s Astead Herndon returns to Minneapolis following the killing of Renee Nicole Good to speak with locals — and the state’s attorney general — to explain how ICE's presence in the state ramped up to this moment.

You know real courage would be a news station or newspaper just dedicating a space in their coverage every day for 1) an act of violent sadism by DHS goons and 2) the name, face and story of a NATO soldier who died in Afghanistan.

They would not soon run out of either.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Moriarty: "A police officer of color who was off duty was boxed in by ICE - she's a citizen - they demanded to know who she was & see her papers. She was going to try to record it & they ripped the phone out of her hand. That happened to a cop. That's what's happening here on the streets of MN."

(HC Richardson) "We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done,” journalist Garrett Graff wrote: “A superpower is [dying by] suicide because the [Republican] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”
