@octopuscaveman re #MELANIA, the film
Very brave but I can’t believe they actually included her ‘tidying up’ our #POTUS her beloved husband Donald #Trump after he ‘soiled himself’. I’m not good with accents but I think she said, was it “For love of Christ, the wipes, more now.”?
I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come.
This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.
STATEMENT: Another murder by federal agents in Minneapolis — Expand the General Strike!
The day after a historic general strike by the people of Minnesota, federal agents involved in Trump’s mass deportation campaign have committed yet another shocking act of deadly violence. Video footage from this morning shows federal agents in south Minneapolis wrestling a man to the ground, pinning him on the sidewalk, and shooting him multiple times while he was restrained and fully surrounded by officers who were striking him. Authorities confirmed shortly after that the victim had been killed.
The only appropriate answer to this murderous violence is to expand the general strike. The entire country was electrified at the moving images of massive unity and resistance from the Twin Cities yesterday. Federal agents have answered this mobilization with yet another murder. Now, the struggle must widen and grow stronger than ever.
Trump has unleashed a wave of terror nationwide. ICE and Border Patrol are the frontline enforcers of his racist campaign to expel huge numbers of people from the country that this white supremacist administration considers “incompatible with western civilization”. In the pursuit of this horrifying mission, federal cops have been given a license to kill with impunity.
Trump plans to continue his ICE invasions city by city, sending in thousands of agents to rip families apart and murder anyone who stands in their way. Just yesterday, the people of the Twin Cities showed the way. The people need to use our power to shut down business as usual and make it impossible for this reign of terror to continue.
I have always avoided talking about politics on this account. But this is my breaking point. I can't say nothing while ICE is going around executing people in broad daylight in my city, blocks from where I live.
They murdered a second person this morning. And I don't want to hear for a second that "he had a gun." Republicans' entire thing is about being pro-2A, that people have the right to be armed against a tyrannical government. Now a textbook example of government tyranny unfolds before you and your immediate response is to take their side? It makes no sense.
There were at least 7 federal agents on top of that man. IF he was armed, the video appears to show that he was disarmed before the shots were fired. There is absolutely zero justification for his killing. This is yet another example of these ICE agents being untrained, hate-filled escalators who are seeking out this kind of violence. They aren't making our community safer, they're making it 1000 times more dangerous.
Everyone can agree that violent criminals, of all backgrounds, should be prosecuted and jailed. A conversation can be had about immigration policy. But this isn't working. This has to stop. ICE has to get out of Minneapolis.
6 guys beating the shit outta ONE person then KILLING him!! Fuck the ICE agents. 6 against one and yall still shoot and kill somebody. Yall had him out numbered and decided to KILL him like it was a video game and he can just he his life back smh
ICE can't function without the private sector. Here are ICE's top corporate collaborators:
Amazon/Whole Foods
Target
Palantir
Every major hotel chain
Home Depot
Lowe’s
AT&T
Aramark
Eastern Airlines
Global X
Omni Air
Flock Systems
Dell
UPS
FedEx
Motorola Solutions
LexisNexis
Thompson Reuters
We don't need vague calls to stop shopping at these places or one-off rallies — we need sit-ins, pressure campaigns, *organized* boycotts, employee and consumer petitions, sickouts, demands from elected officials, and non-violent disruption to force these companies to immediately break from ICE
I’m sorry. I try not to post political stuff.
But I just watched a video of ICE officers attack a man who was helping a woman up, pin him on the ground, take his (legally owned) gun he NEVER attempted to holster, and then 6 officers shot him to death.
He was white (not important to me but def to MAGA assholes).
He was a citizen.
He was simply helping another citizen get up.
And he was pinned to the ground, disarmed and THEN ecexuted by masked agents working for Donald Trump’s gestapo.
Fuck you if you support this.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti. White male born in Illinois. University of Minnesota graduate, medical professional employed at the US Dept. of Veterans Affairs, avid outdoorsman & dog dad, legal gun owner with no criminal record.
Murdered by his government 01/24/2026
Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti:
“We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you”
Federal agents just executed another Minnesotan in broad daylight. These violent fascists need to be removed from our neighborhoods immediately. State leaders must deploy the National Guard and use every tool at their disposal to protect civilians from these murderers.
