I was there, too, and recorded this as people left the scene.

Hard to see in the video, but the baby in mom's arms was also crying with red eyes.

Suggestion for an Onion headline:
"Trump staffer fired after not being found in the Epstein Files."

Mockler: Do you agree with Kristi Noem’s characterization that she made, like an hour after Alex Pretti was murdered?

Seat: Can you just wait until the investigation is done?

Mockler: That's such a good point. Can you say that to Kristi Noem?

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis, on January 24. DHS claims he died after an armed struggle, but videos of the incident appears to contradict that claim. Read our analysis here: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/01...

I'm just going to keep saying this until I die:

In a white supremacist patriarchy, you have value only insofar as you serve the white supremacist patriarchy.

Kyle Rittenhouse & Ashli Babbitt did. Renee Good & Alex Pretti didn't. On Jan 6, the insurrectionists did. The cops didn't.

Rinse, repeat.
The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

It's the usual Republican rapist mentality
From Senator Chris Murphy, Connecticut

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.

Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

I say this with love: no.

Every person who doubts the atrocity should witness, so they understand.

There is no need to watch if you read a description of the atrocity, register its moral significance, and commit yourself to speaking out against these horrors.
- Every American needs to witness this atrocity as part of their civil duty — America needs to understand where we are, what our current government is and where we will most likely end up unless We The People act accordingly…

“Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to achieve their goals as violent campaigns”

“It takes around 3.5% of the population actively participating in the protests to ensure serious political change”

The rumor is that when filming Galaxy Quest Tim Allen got emotional and had to leave the set. Alan Rickman quipped "I think he just discovered acting."

I think this is Kavanaugh as a judge "I think he just discovered checks and balances."
Kavanaugh is worried that if the President can fire Fed governors, then each President will fire all Fed governors every four years. Pencil that out, and you'll see partisan concerns start to overwhelm economic concerns.

A protester is currently lying in a hospital bed with a piece of shrapnel in his neck 7mm from his carotid artery.

While he lay bleeding on the pavement, blinded in his left eye, gasping for air, agents did not call a medic. They dragged him and sneered: "You're going to lose your eye."

Hegseth is one tenth of the man Kelly is, but 10x the blood alcohol level.
A small, petty, insecure drunk who wears far too much makeup trying to run DOD from a Twitter account with a junior officer’s mentality in way over his head who is mocked by better men and women in his department for the fool that he is.
