Oh, wonderful, Latino collaborators in the Trump administration’s program for purging the U.S. of Latino (and other) immigrants. How self-loathing and morally bankrupt must one be to collaborate with evil?

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Yes, the GOP controls Congress. That's why it's key to show Congress COULD stop the madness. And it's not just the DHS bill. Congress could repeal the prior multi-year $75b for DHS; set up a special investigative committee (cf. Watergate); amend the Insurrection Act; etc.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

A still frame photo captured from a cellphone video of the ICE executive of ICU nurse Alex Pretti is captioned with this Bible verse from Genesis 4:10 (ESV), the story of Cain and Abel: “And the Lord said, ‘What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground.”

It’s actually useful that they’re lying so brazenly about Alex Pretti’s killing because it shows how badly they were also lying about Renee Good, as most of us already knew.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

So things will get worse before they get better. Our history shows that protecting our inalienable rights, especially our freedom, requires personal sacrifice and the “blood of patriots.” Yes, these are dear prices to pay, but refusal means tyranny, servitude, and lifelong oppression. #ChooseCourage

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth: “ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king. This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

The newest video shows very clearly that they attacked him for coming to an aid of a woman that the agents pushed, and then executed him while he was immobilized. Everything the government has said, like with Good, has been a complete lie.

Pretti was brandishing a CAMERA as a “legal observer” who stepped up to record a woman being pepper-sprayed. ICE didn’t find the gun until they tackled him for taking pictures/video. Chronology matters legally, doesn’t it?

Too obvious a point even to make, perhaps. But there was no “unrest” in Minneapolis before ICE and CBP showed up. ICE and CBP are the cause of the chaos…and the killings. Get them out of there.

Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., knew non-violent mass protest is needed to defeat the “organized brutality” of tyrannical governments. Even with the likelihood that more protestors will be martyred, non-violent protest must grow until we are free from Trump’s ICE-enforced tyranny.

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.
