i don't care if the guy was an illegal immigrant with a record and a ghost gun, he was standing there peacefully observing when the police ran up on him, restrained him, beat him, and then executed him in broad daylight then lied about it

Alex Pretti was a hero to his last breath. he cared about people, and his government murdered him for that. they want us afraid. they wanted Alex Pretti to be afraid and he didn't flinch.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

People seem to forget, a lot, if not MOST of these giant companies don't have liquid capital. Companies are as paycheck to paycheck as we are. A day of bad/no sales is a blip they've accounted for already. A week? A month of low/no sales? They'd be gone before they could start demanding intervention

Worth noting that one reason you’re benefitting so fully from the Star-Tribune’s timely, extensive coverage of unfolding events is that it’s a metro newspaper that hasn’t been systematically starved to further enrich shareholders and executives.

Most of this year's ICE budget comes from last year's reconciliation bill. House Democratic leaders discouraged its members from offering amendments eliminating that funding. Didn't want the party to come across as anti-ICE.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

If this is "working" there damn well better be a plan and an end-game we're working towards or there won't be anyone left.

Fucking nightmarish that this I’m reupping this, but reports are now coming out that it was Border Patrol Officers, members of CBP, working under little-Nazi-trench-coat-Greg-Bovino who murdered Alex Jeffrey Pretti today.
ICE =/= CBP, although they are both under DHS. This is why it matters.

Super important to note that on the ground reporting is using “federal agent” pretty heavily. This matters because photos, videos, & eye witness testimony make it an irrefutable fact that *both* ICE and CBP, two different federal agencies, were there at this raid, armed, etc.
"A witness to Wednesday’s shooting in south Minneapolis told MPR News that she saw a federal agent shoot a woman several times."
Content warning in that the witness goes on to accurately describe the brutality of these fascists. Ongoing coverage here:

Democrats can and must make it clear there will be trials and anyone even somewhat associated with ICE will face them. Maybe give a quit-your-job deadline on appeasement and give people 72 hours. I don't know. But currently the plan is to let them murder us in the street and get away with it.

All of this is only happening because ICE was established under the fascist Bush administration under a writ assuming all immigrants (documented or not) were potential terrorists and criminals, and this Nazism was normalized under Obama, Trump, and Biden.
The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

A man, restrained on the sidewalk, beaten.
An agent draws his gun and shoots him five times in the chest.
There can be no defense of this, no argument of justification - he executed a man because that man defied him.
This was a murder. They are murdering us, for the fun of it.
