Is the world really going to have to burn because the USA can't impeach a president?

[Hend Amry @LibyaLiberty]

It’s terrorism when a Muslim does it but a punchline when the U.S. government does it.

@AllisonElla9 Do it then I can maybe trick a friend into reading WangXian fanfic because they love Magnus Archives 🤣

If you’re wondering why the Trump Administration is cutting off health care for people across our state - look no further than the President’s own words:

“retribution is coming”

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

This isn’t a deferral, it’s a ransom note. The Trump Administration is using kids as pawns in their campaign of retribution against our state.

The "woman in pink" tells CNN she went to where Pretti was eventually murdered because she had downtime before a job and heard whistles. Says she was going to drive through but saw the chaos ahead - agents attacking people, cars - and thought of Renee Good, so stopped. Says...

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

Read this. The Minnesota state prison system suggests Gregory Bovino outright lied about the target of the operation during which agents shot and killed Alex Pretti.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

🚨HOLY FU*KING HELL: A physician’s sworn affidavit just destroyed the official narrative.

He says he ran to the scene, identified himself as a doctor, and BEGGED to help Alex Pretti.

ICE agents blocked him, demanded a physician’s license, and still weren’t performing CPR.

When he finally got through, he found Pretti on his side with multiple gunshot wounds in his back and started CPR himself.

That’s the story: they shot him… then wouldn’t let a doctor treat him.

BREAKING: A letter from Alex Pretti’s Final Nursing Student:

“I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal.

Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera.

It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well.

Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.

I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need.

Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity.

Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.”

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

BREAKING: A witness who was just 5 feet from Alex Pretti filed an affidavit depicting what she saw.

She says he didn’t touch any of the officers and didn’t appear to be resisting. He was merely helping a woman who had been pepper-sprayed.

She’s is terrified that ICE is looking for her, saying they are lying and she doesn’t know what they will do to her if they find her.

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

As insane as this sounds, it’s true: Pam Bondi sent Minnesota officials a letter today saying ICE would leave the state if Minnesota turns over its voter files to the Trump Administration.

They’re openly using state violence as a bargaining chip to seize election infrastructure.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:

"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."

[Amanda Litman @amandalitman]

“Please get the truth out about our son.”

[Harry Sisson @harryjsisson]

🚨BREAKING: Pam Bondi sent a letter to officials in Minnesota today saying ICE will be removed from the state if they turn over their voter rolls to Trump. This is very obviously an attempt from Trump to cheat in 2026. Letter linked below:

‼️‼️ NEW: FOOTAGE AFTER FED AGENTS EXECUTE MINNEAPOLIS MAN, AGENTS HEARD FRANTICALLY ASKING WHERE’S THE GUN?

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Another hard-hitting photo from
Yesterday’s protest.

[Kurt Bardella @kurtbardella]

To be clear: an insurrectionist using a Confederate flag pole to attack police guarding the US Capitol is dubbed a “patriot” and can receive a presidential pardon while US citizens in Minnesota exercising their 1st amendment rights to protest and assemble get executed.

[Gregory Royal Pratt @royalpratt]

Is this what the Department of Homeland Security calls “approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun”?

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a licensed nurse.
He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.

And they executed him.
