You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

1. I am a resident of the Whittier neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am over 18 years of age. I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting.
2. On Saturday, January 24, 2026, at about 8:50 am, I was getting ready to go to work when I heard whistles outside. I knew the whistles meant that ICE agents were in the area, so I decided to check it out on my way to work. I've been involved in observing in my community because it is so important to document what ICE is doing to my neighbors. Connecting to your local community and knowing who your neighbors are is something I profoundly value.
3. I drove to Nicollet Ave. and 26th where I could hear the whistles coming from. I turned south onto Nicollet. There were already several ICE agents there and they'd set up a sort of vehicle convoy on Nicollet and 28th. There were also about 15 observers there, recording and observing ICE.
4. I saw ICE agents surrounding cars and punching car windows. I also saw them stopping vehicles further down Nicollet, so I backed up because I didn't feel safe continuing on.
5. I noticed a man sort of acting to help traffic move more smoothly. He helped me find a place to park. I got out with my whistle and my camera. I went over to him and said something like, "I'm going to film and use my whistle."
6. It seemed like most ICE activity was happening a little farther down the street from us, near 27th. Someone was being thrown to the ground.

7. I started recording. There was an agent by a car across the street. Two observers were a few feet away from the agent, blowing their whistles. One was wearing a backpack.
8. I and the man who was observing and helping direct traffic were standing in the street. There was a phone in the man's hand recording a video.
9. An agent approached and asked us to back up, so I moved slowly back onto the sidewalk.
10. The man stayed in the street, filming as the other observers I mentioned earlier were being forced backward by another ICE agent threatening them with pepper spray. The man went closer to support them as they got threatened, just with his camera out. I didn't see him reach for or hold a gun.
11. Then the ICE agent shoved one of the other observers to the ground. Then he started pepper spraying all three of them directly in the face and all over. The man with the phone put his hands above his head and the agent sprayed him again and pushed him.
12. Then the man tried to help up the woman the ICE agent had shoved to the ground. The ICE agents just kept spraying. More agents came over and grabbed the man who was still trying to help the woman get up. All three of the observers looked to have been badly affected by the pepper spray. I could feel the pepper spray in my eyes.

13. The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didn't see him touch any of them-he wasn't even turned toward them. It didn't look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn't see him with a gun. They threw him to the ground. Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times.
14.1 don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him.
15. The video I recorded of what happened accurately depicts the events leading up to the agents shooting him and several minutes afterwards. The video is attached as Exhibit 1.
16. I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong. The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground.
17. I feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me and I don't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me. I don't know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they're not telling the truth about what happened. I've heard that other witnesses might have been arrested and taken to the Whipple Building.
18. I am disgusted and gutted at how they are treating my neighbors and my state. I keep alternating between crying and feeling determined it is important to remember the value of documenting injustice. We show up for the people who need us to bear

witness, because it can't just be one group of people bearing the brunt of their tyranny. This is a struggle to protect our freedom and democracy, those things are on the line. He lost his life for those values.
I declare under penalty of perjury that everything I have stated in this document is true and correct.

Dated and signed on Jan 24, 2026 in Hennepin County, State of Minnesota.

I mean how bad does it have to get before two or more Democrats decide to get in a room and do something about it? I could give two shits about Kimmel. It’s about resisting this cultural shift they’re trying to make where your news and entertainment depends upon whether it makes the president happy

Listen, I don’t give a fuck if President Peepaw sat around grumpy and drooling till his handlers took him out for ice cream. At least shit fucking felt normal for goddamn once. Just let me have one day where my anxiety isn’t through the roof because we have this orange shitgoblin as president.

We had maybe two years where things felt calm and it wasn’t like we were living through a historical crisis every other day, but now we have to endure even more bullshit because our country is comprised of idiots who decided they’d rather this fuckhead be president than in prison where he belongs

Sending him up there to the bar and putting him on TV long enough to ask for her number on air and then only checking in on him one more time for this wink is the greatest piece of in-game cinema I have ever seen.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

The image is a screenshot of a tweet from Brandon Bradford (@BrandonLBradfor
). The tweet reads: "Deporting Americans without due process then saying they no longer get due process because they aren’t in America means no one has rights, FYI. Nightmare scenario."

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

If you weren't aware, way back when, Kings used to believe this. It was part of something called the Divine Right of Kings. I'll be very surprised if he doesn't find a way to suspend elections in the future. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_ri…

Frustrating but important info in this thread. It's specifically about Pennsylvania, but I suspect it pertains to other states as well. We need better voter registration efforts, and when the electorate eventually sours on Trump (again) we must be ready to take advantage of that opportunity.

The Trump admin has cancelled the panels that approve NIH grants, & is also banning scientists from communicating with the public, attending conferences, and hiring. NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world. This will severely halt the development of many lifesaving treatments.

FYI. The FDA, NIH, and CDC are barred from providing external communications, meaning no info on food recalls, health notices, etc. www.axios.com/2025/01/22/t...

Trump admin orders federal health agencies to halt communications

They provide the public with key information on topics like food recalls and infectious diseases.

Hey, did you know that if you use a public library computer, the moment you sign out everything is wiped? And if you use a guest pass, they can't track anything to your account, not that a library would share patron info anyway.

Democratic and anti-Trump PACs would be smart to have TV and social ads starting TOMORROW with videos of individuals attacking cops and “FREED BY TRUMP.” And every one that commits a crime, from domestic violence to DUI, should be its own ad from now to 2028.

Just in case people don’t fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump’s way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him

Usually, I'd find Biden pardoning his son to be inappropriate. However, the country just voted in a convicted felon who's stacking his cabinet with sexual abusers, so forgive me if I fail to care about the usual decorum. I'm sick of the double standard. Miss me with the pearl clutching.
