Just kinda seems like refusing to tell us which ICE agents murdered Alex Pretti undercuts the idea that they’re wearing masks to protect themselves — rather than to be able to kill people with impunity.

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.”

ICE and Trump have fully lost control of any narrative. Because all anyone saw yesterday was a bunch of insecure incels killing a man for being everything that is seen as what makes a good man.

Republicans in Congress could put an end to this national nightmare today if they wanted to. But they don’t. And that makes them accomplices.

At Target Driveup only White employees are now bringing groceries to my car. Last week Feds abducted nearby Target citizen employees. I’m sure non-White workers are afraid to show up everywhere. (My partner & I are helping a family afraid to come out of their home. This arrangement is common)

“Previously, I’d go to my boss and say ‘Hey, I need a raise,’ and he’d laugh in my face,” Thompson said. “But if I see all my brothers and sisters with Stand Up KC behind me, standing with me in solidarity asking for that raise, it’s no longer an ask — it’s a demand.”

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."
