Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

This is apparently real. People who voted for him must've wanted someone stupider than they are. I'm sorry, but he's a " low-IQ individual," to quote the Low-IQ Individual in Chief.

Jerome Powell describing DOJ pressure on the Federal Reserve should stop us cold.
When law enforcement is used to intimidate an independent central bank, you don’t get “accountability,” you get instability, market fear, and democratic erosion.
This is very dangerous.👇

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
