Abolish ICE is not enough.

Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough.

We need prosecutions and trials.

Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians:

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."

This woman was five feet from Pretti when he was shot, she's scared to go home because of what they'll do when they find her, and, despite this, she is determined to bear witness. She is the best of us. There is hope as long as there are Americans like her

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..”

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

The world should not come here. There should not be a World Cup here.
I spoke out against the last World Cup because of concerns I had about human rights violations and it’s only right that I express the same concerns and condemnations now.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

We know there is no low this admin wouldn't stoop to.

But to see them (again) smearing someone who was out protesting in support of his community & neighbors, a registered nurse who lawfully owned a gun (that he looks to have been disarmed of before they shot him!) still makes me ill.
Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

The whole of Congress should be descending on Whipple right now.
Why are they sending witnesses to Whipple?

WHY ARE THEY SENDING WITNESSES TO WHIPPLE?
ICE attempted to order local police from the scene of the Minneapolis shooting, but the police chief refused and instructed his officers to preserve the crime scene.

If you are angry, stay angry. They want us to think this is normal and how life will be.

I’ll be dammed if I ever let that happen.

If leaders are not in the streets when their community is under threat, they should step aside for people who are.

It’s not enough to say Abolish ICE. It’s not enough to vote no on ICE funding. It’s not enough to confront Kristi Noem or Greg Bovino with Stern Words.

If you are a leader, what are you doing to protect your community? How are you using your power, privilege, and position to confront this threat?

There are murder-squads executing people on the streets of America right now with the full support of the federal government.
How do we make it stop?
People are protesting in huge numbers and it’s not making an impact. I despair at what comes next when people finally reach a breaking point.
