The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

US citizen. Public servant. Licensed to carry a firearm but had no weapon in hand when killed. Attacked by ICE agents with chemical munitions for no reason, then shot.
The time for talking is over. If you are an elected leader you have to tell us *now* what you are doing to end this nightmare ASAP.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

We have been keeping track of how many people have been killed by federal immigration agents since Trump took office. Today that number has risen to 5 with another shooting in Minneapolis.
Below is more on the history of shootings in the last year.

This is the grim, depressing reality Donald Trump has made of American life.
Instead of waking up on a Saturday, relaxing and spending time with your loved ones, you now have to watch American towns being ravaged and their citizens being murdered by violent secret police. All because of one man.

"Like many other blue states, Minnesota pays more to the federal government than it takes in. But why should the state continue to subsidize a government bent on destroying it? What if it just … didn’t?"

Thousands here at Minneapolis-St. Paul airport, the site of deportation flights. Clergy have blocked the road at terminal 1 departures singing “before this campaign fails, we’ll all go down to jail. Everybody has a right to live.”

"I know that speaking up is essential to prevent people from ending up in a state of screaming fear."
In her own words, Rümeysa Öztürk writes about her hopes that one day, no one will have to scream like she did when she was unlawfully arrested by ICE, or endure ICE's horrific detention conditions.

Hearing My Own Scream
For months, Rümeysa Öztürk has been haunted by the cries of ICE detention — those of scared children, grieving mothers, barking guards — and her own.

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.
Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.
I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.
I need to share with you what I saw.

Jack Smith reminds us that the cases against Trump were dismissed “without prejudice.” Meaning they could be brought again.

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

big whiff not calling it Twitter
The last thing anyone needs is a new "platform" for microblogging. The whole point is we should be moving beyond silo'd platforms into an open social world. So my response to the launch of "W" as a competing platform to "X" is simply: "but Y, tho?"

Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W
European organizations may soon launch their own social media platform, W, requiring user identification and photo verification to prevent bots.
