I’m telling you: ridicule works. These guys are supposed to intimidate the citizenry and it’s very hard to do that when a guy in a frog suit is just staring you down and daring you to do something that makes it look like you’re afraid of a cartoon
Portland never stops being Portland.
Thinking about the @lindsayellis.bsky.social video where she noted how white nationalists co-opted American history X and all these other “strong” critiques but can’t handle “Springtime for Hitler” because of how ridiculous it makes them look

We've now repeatedly seen top officials immediately declare the shootings justified, lionize as heroes the agents who've executed people, brazenly lie about the victims, refuse to open investigations, and impede local attempts to investigate. The fuck is a body camera going to do?

I gotta say, having this ready to go within a day means they really thought about this during the last shooting. It’s too bad we had to wait for another to get them to act.
Minnesota's state FBI-like bureau is suing Noem. It says before pre-emptively declaring the killing righteous and abandoning the crime scene, feds took exclusive custody of evidence, including "apparently seized cellphones."
MN asserts a sovereign right to investigate crimes within its borders.

Remember that the legal standard for deadly force is whether the agent reasonably believed that he was in imminent danger of death or serious bodily injury.
That is the only question that matters. And that standard is plainly not met by what we see in the video.

Imagine this in a trial.
Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing
Declaration filed in federal court:
"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

You can be angry. I'm mad as hell right now. Those fuckers straight up murdered him after they disarmed him.
But do not let your emotions get the better of you and start talking on a public forum in anything approaching detail about criminal activity you may feel moved to commit.
SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Kristi Noem just said Alex Pretti showed up looking to commit murder. Yet again she's viciously smearing an innocent person and lying to pretend he's a terrorist after he was viciously gunned down by Gestapo thugs. These people are irredeemable criminals and they need to be locked up.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.
