🚨BREAKING: NEW footage proves DHS lied.
U.S. citizen Alex Jeffrey Pretti never pulled his LEGAL FIREARM on ICE/Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis…
Even when HIS LIFE was in danger.
He was helping one woman when an agent violently shoved another. Alex stepped in to help.
The agent assaulted him, shoving him back and pepper spraying him in the face.
Alex turns away. The agent doesn’t stop… he jumps on Alex’s back, trying to spray him continuously.
Multiple agents then jump him… kicking him and hitting him with gas canisters, as Alex is on his hands and knees trying to protect himself.
An agent in grey grabs Alex’s LEGAL FIREARM… which Alex never pulled.
And then… agents opened fire on an unarmed U.S. citizen.
Alex was never a threat.
Agents’ lives were never in danger.
The only life in danger was Alex’s… and he still never drew his weapon.
ICE/Border Patrol removed a U.S. citizen’s legal firearm…
Then killed him for exercising his Second Amendment right.

On a personal level, if you want to find ways to fight back, shop local and buy Canadian. Where you spend your money—those are some of the most important decisions that you make.
#Breaking: The Métis Nation—Saskatchewan has withdrawn from the Métis National Council, following the lead of the Manitoba Métis Federation in 2021.

While we focus on Gaza, we should not lose sight of the West Bank, where more than 500 Palestinians – including 100 children – have been killed by Israeli security forces and settlers, in violation of international and American law.
With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.
The ICC prosecutor is right to issue arrest warrants for political leaders who engage in war crimes.
The global community must uphold international law.
Without these standards of decency & morality, the planet may rapidly descend into anarchy, never-ending wars, and barbarism.
Bill C-53 was advanced without adequate consultation with First Nations and despite strong opposition.
Government of Canada is required by law to consult with First Nations on any potential impacts to their rights. #HaltBillC53
A powerful gathering today on Parliament Hill calling on all governments to uphold their international human rights obligations and search the landfills for the human remains of loved ones. #MMIWG2S#PrairieGreen#BradyRoad#SearchTheLandfill
Violence does not rest, it does not slow down for those grieving. The serial killer in Manitoba targeted Indigenous women. He is an alt-right white supremacist. As mourners gather to grieve, alt-right supporters take to Twitter & engage in verbal slaughter of Indigenous people.
If you have a platform and and influence but are too worried about the fall out in denouncing violence against Indigenous women, then for us you do not have a platform and you do not have influence.
