A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

When The State Kills Its Own In 1770 British soldiers shot and killed protesting colonists angry about the Crown's overreach. The Boston Massacre became a rallying cry that sparked the American revolution.

It really is amazing to listen to a guy who faked bone spurs to avoid serving in the military denigrate combat veterans of our allies while also using β€œwe” when referencing the historical sacrifices and bravery of our own soldiers.

White House posts an altered photo of Minnesota protester's arrest to make it look like she was crying The image, which an expert said was likely altered with AI, sparked backlash online. The White House doubled down, saying, "The memes will continue."

Even CBS, with its billionaire MAGA owner AND Bari Weiss calling the shots, recognizes the impropriety of this.

Fox keeps repeating misleading talking point about ICE arrestees’ criminal records

New piece on Fox News' repeated use of a totally misleading talking point about the supposed criminality of ICE arrestees. The number of people in ICE custody with a conviction for a violent criminal offense is about 5-7%. Fox's coverage falsely suggests the number is closer to 70%.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

In the spirit of Dr. King, we must respond to ICE's tyranny with peaceful, mass civil disobedience across America.

I stand with the people of Minnesota and other cities across the country who are doing that today.
