In Minnesota, Alex Pretti was shot 10 times from close range AFTER being disarmed. It was not even an execution; it was an orgy of violence by a large group of men on one victim. The US executive government has descended into depravity.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.
Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.
It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

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.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Arising from Carney's speech, middle powers, including Australia, should issue coordinated statements of concern about rule-of-law breaches and the need to respect alliances. They should defend international institutions like WHO & the UN and accelerate strategic diversification away from the US.

The NYT reported many hours ago that the government account was provably false (which @bellingcat.com & others had already exposed in video) yet the BBC as of 11am UK time makes no mention of this fact and still centres the government’s false narrative, mentioning only ‘conflicting’ views. Shameful.
The BBC coverage is absolutely terrible.
It leads on "sharply contested narratives"
It has a dramatic skew to the US government
It has posted the video but has failed to report on what it shows: it shows the US govt account is untrue

Good suffered three bullet wounds. Two were not life-threatening, according to the autopsy. The third "struck her on the left side of her head near the temple, and exited on the right side of her head." Seems that had to be either shot #2 or # 3 which Ross fired when he was not in danger's way.
