This case is insane:
ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*
The young man they killed had no criminal history.
All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.
We don't know officers' names.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

This is like a satanic parody of the best moments of Reconstruction, which saw the DOJ using federal power to break up white supremacist conspiracies against civil rights. Here, white supremacists in the DOJ are using conspiracy law to attack civil rights.
Exclusive: The CIA carried out a drone strike earlier this month on a port facility in Venezuela, sources told CNN, marking the first known US attack on a target inside that country. This is the attack Trump has repeatedly alluded to in recent days. www.cnn.com/2025/12/29/p...

Let this serve as a reminder that the people who feed us come with rich cultures, deep traditions, and knowledge systems that deserve celebration. This Thanksgiving, give thanks to farm workers who continue to put food on our table while away from theirs. givebutter.com/vKZByM

Yet in 2010, Noem—then a congressional candidate—had “20 speeding tickets, three stop-sign violations, two seat-belt violations and a citation for driving with no driver’s license.” She had six court notices for failing to appear, and had two warrants out for her arrest. trib.al/uQSDaqR
🧵 I know everyone wants to believe that ICE is just a bunch of J6ers under Trump, but let's be clear about something: ICE has always been like this. Denying that and pushing the idea that they're only like this because of Trump is dangerous. Assuming this leaves us in a place where we simply...
If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples
What is the “working class”? They’re not the burly white men that white male pundits think they are
“The working class—defined as workers without a four-year college degree—makes up almost two-thirds of the workforce and is more racially and ethnically diverse than the college-educated workforce.”

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.
