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.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

In paraphrase, the Trump regime position is "the executions of unarmed citizens in broad daylight for exercising their First Amendment rights will continue until morale improves *and* the blue states the president is targeting admit that he won all of them in 2016, 2020, and 2024"

This is powerful from military veterans about Alex Pretti.
"They took his life. Don't let them take his name."
"They took his life. Don't let them take his name."
Trump and his allies are already smearing Alex Pretti’s name instead of confronting the truth.
Veterans who served our country and lived because of the VA are outraged. Alex was a VA nurse and hero, not a villain.

Anyone going to davos, please kick this off with some sniggers and guffaws, it'll spread like wildfire
If the elite world has any sense, they will laugh him off the stage, undermine his dominance, break his false indomitability. As the world govts should have done in that unhinged Trump rant at the UN
It is going to be extremely interesting today, when Trump speaks at Davos. I can only say that I hope for an absolutely deranged Trump. It will cause an absolute chaos in Davos, but this is needed for the last sleeping European who thinks that this is just another episode. It is not. This is Trump.

Holodomor (“hunger mass-death”) is what Ukrainians call the genocidal artificial famine created by Soviet dictator Stalin in the 1930s that killed millions here.
Now fascist Russia has added a new word to the vocabulary of Ukrainian genocide - Kholodomor, or “cold mass-death.”

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.
This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

Everything Trump says here is verifiably untrue. During this period of time the number of US installations on Greenland went from 17 to 1 as a result of US determinations that they were not needed.
Trump: "NATO has been telling Denmark, for 20 years, that “you have to get the Russian threat away from Greenland.” Unfortunately, Denmark has been unable to do anything about it. Now it is time, and it will be done!!! President Donald J. Trump"
