The extent to which residents of Minneapolis are more civic, courageous, and patriotic than business elites, conservative luminaries, and Republican members of Congress, is really, really striking. It’s a lesson not to be forgotten. It’s one that would not have surprised Hubert Humphrey.

A major newspaper publishing guide to help people identify the munitions their government is using against them is a real "Late Republic America" timepeice that future historians will comment on.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.
Timeline: How the Shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti Unfolded
A moment-by-moment analysis of video from the scene shows that Mr. Pretti was already restrained when fatal shots were fired, which appears to contradict the federal government’s account of the event.

Ive seen multiple politicians publish little letters about their outrage.
And i need all of them to shut the fuck up and do their jobs. They are the government. They are the ones with the most ability to stop this. Stop tweeting and start locking these fuckers up.

Americans were supposed to cower or cheer when they saw fascist violence. The Real Americans would shout with glee, and the rest would bow down because they’re woke and weak and stuff. Everyone knows that. X users know it. Podcasters know it. Stephen Miller knows it.

This wasn’t supposed to happen.

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.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

ICE agents will continue to execute our citizens in the streets for as long as they believe they can get away it. There will be more executions like this. What are our leaders doing to prevent it?

This. A handful of Americans have the power to stop this NOW, and they are refusing to.
His death is caused by one man and his Republican collaborators. Republicans in Congress could stop this today. Call your Senators today www.5calls.org #DefundICE

To those blaming Walz for not mobilizing the Guard, he did that six days ago. I have to say it's disturbing to see people angry at Walz instead of the government agents that just executed a man. As though we should all be experts about what to do when a secret police force invades an American city.

America has two major parties:

One party exists to serve the demented whims of our Nazi Pedophile Mad King.

One party isn’t sure whether to fund his lawless goons who are shooting legal observers in the face.

We need to end the two party system.
