Kudos to the brave folks in Minneapolis for protesting the ICE Gestapo in freezing temperatures recently as noted here...
Holy shit! This is Minneapolis. 🙌💪👏✊👇 pic.twitter.com/71tHgkgq9l

...and tragically, we have another ICE-inflicted killing in that city, as noted here...the victim is an ICU nurse named Alex Pretti who was executed by our government (Pretti was apparently trying to provide aid to women who were attacked by the ICE Gestapo)...Ayman Mohyeldin anchors coverage on this horror (and once more, Kristi Noem is an utterly shameless, lying piece of sh*t)...Alex Tabet also reports in Minneapolis...and apparently, Pretti had a license to carry but was shot with his own weapon...funny, but I’m not hearing any NRA bullsh*t at this moment about “a good guy with a gun”...I’m actually behind on my coverage of ICE atrocities I know because I haven’t had anything yet on the abduction of 5-year-old Liam Ramos...watch this space (more here)...
...and David Doel provides a detailed breakdown of exactly what Alex Pretti was TRYING to do, which is to aid a woman pepper sprayed by the ICE gorillas before he himself was sprayed also; when Pretti was down on the ground, ICE surrounded him, apparently took his gun and executed him with it...great point to mention that our Trumpist goons venerate “Killer Kyle” Rittenhouse but also engage in wanton murder of someone innocently trying to provide aid to someone else attacked by ICE...we know Fix Noise will try to spin this in a way favorable to the Gropenfuhrer, but of course now the “Tiffany Network” will do that also...I honestly don’t blame Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Commissioner Brian O’Hara since they’re plainly outnumbered, and I don’t think Doel does either...and as far as I’m concerned, we still have a Fourth Amendment to the Constitution protecting us against unreasonable search and seizure, despite what Our Treasonous Orange Pustule wants to do...and yeah, Schumer and Jeffries should oppose the government funding bill to give more dough to ICE, but unfortunately, because of The Big Beautiful Clusterf*ck that passed last year, ICE is already swimming in dough (an update from Schumer is here indicating that he’ll oppose further ICE funding, though I expect him to cave eventually as he always does)...Doel also mentions the recent protest in Minneapolis against ICE (NSFW/H)...
...and Farron Cousins informs us that ICE is now racially profiling off-duty police officers in Minnesota, demanding that these cops provide paperwork to prove they’re a U.S. citizen according to Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley...and Cousins is right to point out that modern-day policing evolved from Civil War era slave patrols...good point from Cousins that, for every story of ICE going nuts that we hear about, there are countless more that we DON’T hear about (also NSFW/H)...
...and Jesse Dollemore gives us his take on the 7 U.S. House Democrats who voted to continue funding ICE...actually, I think Jesse is incorrect about Tom Suozzi; I believe Jamaal Bowman’s seat was taken by George Latimer...and of all of these people, it’s possible that Henry Cuellar has the most baggage, though Jared Golden is right up there too on that score...I admire Jesse’s initiative to try and get these 7 primaried, but unfortunately, the issue lies with the people who elected them more than anyone else...and Jason Crow, for my money, is not just heroic on this issue but many others also (NSFW/H as well)...
..and as long as I’m bumming everyone out, I should also not that yesterday was the 70th anniversary of the killers of 14-year-old Emmett Till (who were acquitted) confessing to Look Magazine that, yeah, we really did murder Till because we thought he looked at a white woman the wrong way (here)...I think this tune is appropriate for the occasion (lots of use of the “N” word, just to warn you in advance, but I believe it’s for a good reason).
