@tedlieu@DHSgov@BPUnion 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.
He was disarmed.
And they executed him.
@tedlieu@DHSgov@BPUnion Congressional Dems must call for and back a national strike. Leadership should pool campaign funds and any stock gains to support strike & mutual-aid funds for a shutdown. Blue states should halt federal tax transfers. Demands: ICE out of cities now.
Protester: "They say they're coming in to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who bake for us, who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. I can't stop thinking of Mr Rogers. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, and right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."
Americans are being killed in the street by their government. Our Constitution is being shredded and our rights are dissolving. Resist.
Senate Dems should block ICE funding this week. Activate the National Guard.
We can and must stop this.
.@icegov YOU ARE COWARDS. You are all absolute, pathetic, untrained, unprofessional COWARDS. Todd Lyons and the rest of you not only need to be defunded, you need to be PROSECUTED.
We believe healthcare is a right for every American.
But starting today, millions will get notice that they are being priced out of their insurance due to Republican policies.
Enough is enough. GOP may shut down the government, but we stand up for you.
Not a surprise Vance says what he says here. He works for a mad king whoโs telling him what to say. But America, be very clear about what Trump/Vance are doing here. Theyโre laying the groundwork to defy a court order. Theyโre laying the groundwork to ignore the rule of law.๐
For folks who are surprised about, or shocked by, Vance calling on Trump to ignore judges, heโs been saying it for a while but much of our press wasnโt paying attention:
So in just 18 days under Trump:
3 plane crashes
J6 MAGA pedofiles arrested
Trade wars
Canada booing the US anthem
DOGE fired a racist
JD Vance supports racist
DOGE rehired the racist
Plans to occupy Gaza
Ivanka & Kanye (bom chicka wow wow). ๐
Lara Trump finally got a job (DEI)
Understand that @JDVance is a man who, as a full-grown adult in his 30's, said Trump was Hitler and there was something wrong w those who supported him. You don't go from "Hitler" to his VP. This is not a normal person. This is a hyper-ambitious opportunist w zero credibility.
Itโs called the โrule of lawโ @jdvance.
Our constitution created three co-equal branches of government to provide checks and balances on each other (โseparation of powersโ).
The judiciary makes sure that the executive follows the law.
If you do, then you wonโt have problems.
