Obama: "The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy... Our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault. The President & current admin officials seem eager to escalate the situation while offering public explanations.. that appear to be directly contradicted by video evidence."

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault. Federal law enforcement and immigration agents have a tough job. But Americans expect them to carry out their duties in a lawful, accountable way, and to work with, rather than against, state and local officials to ensure public safety. That's not what we're seeing in Minnesota. In fact, we're seeing the opposite. For weeks now, people across the country have been rightly outraged by the spectacle of masked ICE recruits and other federal agents acting with impunity and engaging in tactics that seem designed to intimidate, harass, provoke and endanger the residents of a major American city. These unprecedented tactics-which even the former top lawyer of the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration has characterized as embarrassing, lawless and cruel-have now resulted in the fatal shootings of two U.S citizens. And yet rather than trying to impose some semblance of discipline and accountability over the agents they've deployed, the President and current administration officials seem eager to escalate the situation, while offering public explanations for the shootings of Mr. Pretti and Renee Good that aren't informed by any serious investigation-and that appear to be directly contradicted by video evidence. This has to stop. I would h o p e that after this most recent tragedy, administration officials will reconsider their approach, and start finding ways to work constructively with Governor Walz and Mayor Frey as well as state and local police to avert more chaos and achieve legitimate law enforcement goals. In the meantime, every American should support and draw inspiration from the wave of peaceful protests in Minneapolis and other parts of the country.

THE UTTER FUCKING NERVE OF "POCKET NAZI" GREG BOVINO AND ICE BARBIE CALLING THEIR MASKED AND MURDEROUS THUGS "LAW ENFORCEMENT." THESE LAWLESS SHITPIGS ARE ANYTHING BUT. I EXPLAIN IT ALL IN TODAY'S SUPER-ANGRY POST. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER, LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4rau7ol

can we please stop calling ICE ‘law enforcement officers’? they’re not enforcing any known laws on the books. what they’re doing is inventing their own laws on the spot — and playing judge, jury and executioner.

The Labor Department launched a social media campaign with illustrations that appear to be AI-generated and that almost exclusively feature White men — part of an effort to promote the hiring of American citizens over foreign workers.

The campaign has drawn scrutiny, with critics saying it is not realistically portraying the country’s diversity and is sending messages that feel exclusionary.

He only ever referred to Reform and Greens as potential threats to the revival of the Tory Party as a whole. It wasn't just specific to his former Constituency. I just wondered if there was a subtle clue to the Party's Comms policy for the future 🤔🤣

In 1979, Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House. In 1986, Ronald Reagan tore them down along w/Carter’s clean energy funding. This sums up the difference between the two men & political parties. Investing in solutions for the future vs canceling progress to score political points.

We laughed when Musk bought Twitter for $40bn & it disintegrated before his eyes. Then we realised his plan with Trump - & how Twitter played its part. He meets Farage in Florida, attacks Starmer relentlessly - & praises Tommy Robinson, giving Farage the chance to distance himself. No coincidence?
