I would offer that Alex Pretti putting his body—with his hands up—between a woman and the BP agent who had just violently shoved her into the snow, offer stark competing visions of manhood. Pretti, a nurse caring for veterans, who took a face full of pepper spray to shield that woman, is a much better masculine ideal that the masked coward shoving the woman and executing a man on his knees. MAGA may venerate the latter, but most people in a healthy society want the former.
This killing of Alex Pretti reveals a dark truth about the administration's view of gun rights: they are not universal. They are reserved for the "right" kind of people. If you are a MAGA supporter, your gun is a symbol of freedom. If you are a protester in Minneapolis, your gun is proof of terrorism.
The "right to bear arms" has been replaced by the "privilege to bear arms," contingent on political alignment. This is the hallmark of a militia state, not a constitutional republic.
My God, a complete dismantling of Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth, and the entire clusterfuck of failed security by Rep. Jason Crow.

Rep. Crow calls for Pete Hegseth to RESIGN immediately.
New ad from the Harris campaign on reproductive freedom, ahead of the VP's speech in Texas on Friday. This is a very tough one to watch, but it's incredibly important to. Thank you so much to Ondrea and Ceasar for trusting us to share their story.
First they came for abortion access.
Then they came for IVF.
NEXT, they're coming for contraceptives.
WHERE DOES IT END?
End Republicans' conquest for control.
