This is why ICE and Border Patrol funding should end immediately! It's bad enough to shoot unarmed people, but leaving helpless immigrants to die a painful death like this is sickening!

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️
BREAKING: Music legend Bruce Springsteen just released this incredible song that will be sure to piss Trump off beyond belief.
“Streets of Minneapolis”.
He wrote this song about Alex Pretti and Renée Good Saturday and recorded it yesterday.
Share it far and wide and play it as loud as you can
BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons.
Please share this far and wide...
"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," the family said in a statement provided to CNN.
"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."
It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless.
“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”
Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight.

A 17-year-old American citizen was brutally assaulted by grown-ass men. He was just a kid working at Target who was terrorized for no other reason than being born with brown skin. Are y'all angry yet? 🥹🥹🥹👇
We’ve all seen the video. An ICE officer shot Renee Good as she tried to drive away—then agents rendered no aid and left the scene.
And instead of accountability, the Trump admin. smeared her as a domestic terrorist.
This demands consequences. Noem has to resign, and I'm calling for her impeachment.
This is just so good. Grandpa Don clearly failed geography. Oh and he flunked history too.
How did he do in economics? Don’t answer that.
Jon Stewart is so good at this

I am joining my colleagues in filing articles of impeachment against Secretary Kristi Noem.
This is beyond politics. This is beyond partisan lines. This is about our solemn duty to protect the American people, uphold the Constitution, and defend the rule of law.
BREAKING: In a display of peak hypocrisy, Trump declares "One death is too much" for protesters in Iran, while dismissing the death of U.S. citizen Renee Good at the hands of ICE.
That's America last, folks.
Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
