Does anyone get the feeling they unloaded ten shots to make sure Pretti could never live to tell the tale? Same with Renee Good. The first two shots were non-lethal. It was the third shot into her left temple from the side of the car that killed her, according to the autopsy.
Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Simple reasonable question: Why do #ICE agents need to be gunned up like they are going into battle? I have yet to see a running gun battle with any "illegals". Why masks? These are #Trump goons. Mid-terms will not happen in any way that resembles normalcy. They will exercise extreme fuckery!

Trump attacked California because of Kamala Harris. He attacked Minnesota because of her running mate. He attacked Maine because its governor said she see him in court to his face. See a pattern here?

We are at an inflection point: Do #Democrats have the same 2A rights as #GOP ? Watch how fast #MAGA #Trump try and say they do not. They are creating databases to strip US Citizens of their rights if you are not "with them". The shit storm is coming.

Senator Rosen calling for Noem’s impeachment. More of this, please.
Kristi Noem and her department’s latest attempt to mislead the American public regarding the brutal and unjustified killing of Alex Pretti is deeply shameful, and she must be impeached and removed from office immediately.

Read this if you still need proof that Trump is going to try and rig the midterms👇
If you want proof that Trump is going to try to rig the elections, here it is:
In a letter to Gov. Tim Walz Saturday, Bondi claimed that Walz could “restore the rule of law” by complying with a list of demands, including giving the Department of Justice (DOJ) the state’s voter registration records.

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

BOVINO: We don't need a suspect's help in a law enforcement scene

It's a death cult, and it's always been a death cult, and they've treated us like we've fucking crazy for saying this for more than a decade. Even as they've killed and killed and killed and celebrated the killing.
remember when erick erickson was haha’ing about tossing his opponents out of helicopters?
The conservative intelligentsia and media-industrial complex has been publicly masturbating about getting to kill people for years now, they are orders of magnitude worse than even the MAGA base. Everybody knows this, it's just politically incorrect to say it.

They are they are trying to distract from the fact that prices have exploded, that people's health insurance is being stripped, $1 trillion out of health care to fund this violence.

NATO soldiers didn’t “die doing nothing.” They died honoring alliances, defending democracy, and backing the U.S.!
In actual fact they died doing what bone spurs Trump never would!

🧵 It's time for pro-democracy forces in the United States, most notably in the Democratic party, to approach Constitutional Law in the same way that the Roberts court does: as an instrument of power, in which niceties such as "text" and "original meaning" are as flexible as silly putty.
