A dear friend of mine died of an accidental overdose on Thanksgiving morning.
A week before she asked me to come over with our friends, she really needed me there.
I said I couldn’t, it was late, I was tired, I had to work in the morning.
I never got to see to her again.
My sister died of an accidental overdose on a Monday morning.
The night before we got into an argument because she was so fucked up she couldn’t stand.
This was as realistic as it gets when it comes to addiction. People die, without warning, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Crazy to think how much the Minneapolis skyline has changed since spring of 2020, almost all of those buildings have burned down since this photo was taken
people will talk a lot of shit about parents who put their kids on a literal leash but every fellow leash kid i’ve met has been like “no no that was probably needed”
“I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him ten times because he did something they could never fathom doing themselves.
He extended his arm towards a stranger. Not to push her down, but to help her up.”
Look for the helpers.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents pulled guns on an unarmed U.S. citizen in a small Minnesota town… then had to be stopped by the local police chief.
This happened in St. Peter, Minnesota. A quiet southern Minnesota town
A local woman was alone in her car, observing and recording ICE activity in her community. She is doing something that is fully protected under the First Amendment… observing and documenting federal agents in public.
ICE notices her watching.
Three federal vehicles begin chasing her, and try to force her to pull over.
They eventually box her car in and three agents jump out of the vehicle in front of her… with their guns drawn… screaming at her to get out of the car.
She refuses, and states her rights.
The agents open her car door anyway, drag her out, force her to the ground, and handcuff her.
This is all happening while she is unarmed, and alone on a country road.
She suffers cuts, scrapes, and bruises as they pin her down.
Her husband then arrives and starts recording. He tells them they don’t have a warrant and cannot search her car. An ICE agent dismisses him outright and says, “I’m not getting into the legality of everything.”
Read that again.
A federal agent, pointing guns at civilians, openly says they are not concerned with legality.
ICE puts this woman into their vehicle and starts driving her toward the Twin Cities, toward a federal detention facility… even though she is a U.S. citizen.
About twenty minutes into the drive, they suddenly turn around after getting a call from a supervisor.
The St. Peter police chief stepped in.
After her husband contacted an attorney and spoke with the police chief, the chief identified the vehicle ICE was using, took custody of the woman, and personally drove her home.
ICE turned her over to local police because what they were doing was so clearly wrong.
This is what is happening in America.
A small-town police chief had to intervene to stop federal agents from disappearing an unarmed woman for observing them.
If ICE feels comfortable pulling guns on unarmed citizens in small towns, chasing them, throwing them to the ground, and ignoring the law entirely, then no town is too small and no one is safe from ICE brutality.
This is what it looks like when federal agents think they’re above the Constitution.
Just curious, is there ANYTHING that an ICE agent can do that Republicans will condemn as wrong? Anything at all? Or is it just automatically defend ICE no matter what now? That’s who you are?
CNN put together a clip of JD Vance claiming ICE agents have "absolute immunity" followed by him two weeks later claiming "I didn't say that officers who engage in wrongdoing would enjoy immunity"
Renee Good’s autopsy destroys the self-defense narrative. She wasn’t a danger when Ross fired the fatal shot to her head from the side of her car. DOJ shut down the FBI probe, sidelined MN agents, and targeted MN prosecutors and Good’s widow. This isn’t justice — it’s a cover-up.
