Well, Kristen Radtke of The Verge just made me cry with this remembrance of her childhood best friend Alex Pretti.
"Alex was an easy playmate: generous, curious, sweet. His mother always ensured he had a tidy haircut and a clean room."

I grew up with Alex Pretti
The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by federal agents was my childhood best friend.

ICE is going undercover—posing as plumbers, Uber drivers, and “workers” to infiltrate activist spaces. This is real. They’re watching and adapting. Don’t get caught off guard—question everything. Protect your people.

I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.

Murder by STATE OFFICIALS is worse than a murder by a radicalised individual for whatever political or other motives he had.
This should be a non-controversial view.
It is the reasonable conclusion from a proper understanding of the Rule of Law.
But MAGA …👀

“If your state doesn’t help us we will be forced to murder its citizens” is an argument that only works on people who are already subnormal bootlickers.
Blanche: "Remember, what we all saw in that 10 or second video is not the full story. Every American should know that. The story goes way beyond that. It starts with the fact that literally for months we have received 0 assistance from the state of Minnesota."

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.
