It's obviously good that citizens with smartphones can create multiple records of these shootings and undercut propaganda and government lies about them. But I find it a little deranging that being an informed news consumer in 2026 requires watching what are essentially snuff videos in slow-mo.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

So much of this regime's playbook recycles Kremlin tactics and rhetoric.
Putin pioneered this. No opposition is legitimate. Regular, decent, “ordinary” people cannot possibly be against us because only we represent “the real people.”
Tell-tale sign of authoritarianism.

Det burde ikke være noen tvil om at rekrutteringsgrunnlaget til ICE er Proud Boys og andre ny-fascistiske høyreekstremister. Bare vent til de begynner å lage kvalm blant velgere under mellomvalget. Dette minner stygt om Stormabteilung i begynnelsen av 1930-årene.
