Alex Pretti was murdered while trying to protect a woman from being assaulted by federal agents
TW ⚠️

This is the pink jacket lady’s angle. (From Drop Site News)

Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.

Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

This right here is pure unadulterated hypocrisy.

This is the GOP way.

The original post is still up, but I took a screenshot just in case the puppy killer decides to delete it.

Another troubling sign that the Trump admin is defying the Supreme Court, which said that they MUST give anyone potentially subject to the Alien Enemies Act "reasonable time" to "actually seek habeas relief" before any AEA removal.

Now DOJ and ICE say they won't even commit to giving 24 hours!
Last night, US Judge Sweeney in Colo granted district-wide (state-wide) class habeas TRO to stop Trump from summarily removing aliens under his Alien Enemies Act proclamation. @ACLU attys had warned that, despite SCOTUS ruling, Admin won't commit to providing even 24 hrs notice.

The federal agency that delivers $1.5T a year in earned benefits to 73M retired workers, their survivors, & poor & disabled Americans is engulfed in crisis—further undermining the already struggling org’s ability to provide reliable & timely service to vulnerable customers.

It's a "cycle of doom."

Economists predict a recession in summer this year. It may come earlier. With all the civil servants being kicked out unemployed will go up, as will inflation. And then comes March when Trump will shut down the government and take over the Federal Reserve.

The price of eggs have increased since Trump took office, in some places by as much as $2. Trump also scrapped an executive order that lowered the prices of medication obtained through Medicare and Medicaid.

RESIST.
Don't quit.
Don't stop fighting.
Don't obey in advance.
Don't stop calling them out.
Keep raising your voices as loudly as you can.
Keep organizing your friends, family, everyone.
Keep supporting orgs that are leading the fight.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

🚨Trump's already showing us that he's intending on following through with Project 2025, which means dismantling Veterans' healthcare. This is not only a betrayal, but dangerous to the lives and well-being of those who’ve served.
