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.

It’s a deadly combination of poorly screened, poorly trained, and—to your point—poorly led.

1,000% He—and every single member of this admin—lacks even the most basic semblance of character required to be within a hundred miles of an elected government, much less ours.

Need to disengage for my own sanity, but before I crawl back under my rock, let me say this…it seems every day I find myself thinking I couldn’t possibly be more enraged or more ashamed of the government I once served. Then we have days like today, and it unlocks a whole new level of shame & anger.

I don’t 🤷🏻‍♂️ and didn’t claim to; that said, the only other MSM reference I’ve seen has been Sen Murphy’s interview on CNN.

Affidavit filed in federal court by the woman standing and filming just behind Mr. Pretti on the sidewalk. On the record.

19 seconds. From the time Alex Pretti puts his hands up, turns his back, and grabs the woman pushed to the ground--while being pepper sprayed--he's murdered. 19 seconds.

Does Tim Walz not have some sort of political/media strategist?? They should be sending copies to every national news outlet along w/ a statement calling out the clear attempt at state-sponsored blackmail & coercion through violence.

Kristi Noem at a press conference right now, repeating the lie verbatim. Seems a pretty light lift to add her statement and actions, just today, as the first charge in her impeachment: obstruction of justice. Blames the victim. Blames the mayor. Blames the governor. Blames Minnesota.

That’s it. That’s all that needs to be said. Abolish. Prosecute. Impeach.

And based on what I’ve seen on cable news channels all day, I’d say they’re all complicit in ensuring the latter.

Respectfully… I’d posit they actually know their (political) opposition is weak, and it’s the American public they think is stupid.

Fredricka Whitfield @cnn.com is either being willfully obtuse, or her producers have failed her, because as recently as 30 seconds ago, she repeats the phrase “We still don’t know what preceded this altercation” as if there’s not crystal clear video of just that. Again, do your fucking job.

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

U.S. Customs & Border Patrol is on national television right now, lying to the entire country. THERE. IS. VIDEO. Multiple videos, even. Where is the 4th estate? Where is Congress? Where are the self-proclaimed "leaders" in this country? This is insanity.

West Side Rob @westsiderob.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

The facts couldn't be clearer. This man was murdered for having the gall to lift a fellow citizen from the ground after being assaulted by ICE. To @cnn.com, @ms.now, @nytimes.com, and @washingtonpost.com, DO YOUR JOB. And to @governorwalz.mn.gov, this moment will define you. Stand up or resign.

West Side Rob @westsiderob.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

On another timeline, @governorwalz.mn.gov calls in State Police + MN Guard to force a standoff & expel ICE, @schumer.senate.gov whips Senate Ds for NO vote on ICE/DHS funding bill, and TV outlets like @cnn.com stop equivocating & start flooding the zone w/ video evidence we can all see w/ our eyes.

The first time I ever visited the state of Wisconsin, I was in a dive bar bathroom and noticed all the urinals had Chicago Bears logos on the piss-pucks. Now I know why.

New, w/ @mulchy.bsky.social & @djbyrnes1.bsky.social: ICE shot & killed an immigrant in the Chicago suburbs yesterday. Then they immediately gave a misleading account of events. Chicago erupted in chaos and a father who lived here for decades is dead. This is what really happened:

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

I don't know who in media needs to hear this (actually yeah I do) but just b/c someone uses Words when they drop that hard-R doesn't mean they get the social protection of "inclusive disagreement & debate." It's ok for civilized society to reject them--b/c there's no right way to be a fucking bigot.
