That fire is held aloft on principle, in spite of pressure. It is held as a beacon asserting Truth. Liberty is that Truth.

@thenewrepublic.bsky.social reports that ICE/DHS had previously encountered Pretti and broke his rib.
Right wingers say this is evidence he was a bad dude.
Or is it evidence they had a death mark on him and summarily executed him? To “erase his voice?”

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms.

If you are employed by or support ICE and it’s unconstitutional and flagrantly abusive tactics, you should no longer be employable, full stop.

Congress is not powerless. Democrats must unify around an actual agenda.
1. Vote no on DHS funding bill.
2. Repeal the multi-year $75 billion funding for ICE.
3. End qualified immunity for ICE agents.
4. Investigate and prosecute every single ICE agent who broke the law.
