"RKF took money earmarked to provide health care for Black infants and spent it on his personal security detail" is a ludicrous headline. Comic book villainy.

Missing Massachusetts so much this time of year - paid 6 euro for fresh apple cider at the local harvest festival. No cider donut.

I want to see every former US president forming a direct action group on signal and heading to Minneapols to form a human shield to protect people from the federal government.
Trump’s government has unequivocally crossed a threshold now where even well -documented truth is irrelevant and the murder of US citizens by the state is formally sanctioned. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Video contradicts Trump’s claim man killed in Minneapolis was a ‘gunman’
Video evidence reviewed by Guardian shows Alex Pretti, killed by agents in Minneapolis, held a phone, not a gun
theguardian.com
His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old. He was a licensed nurse. He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression. And they executed him.
“At least another 5 shots are fired toward the man who is already incapacitated on the ground.” Let that sink in. They publicly executed this observer, a nurse. They wanted him dead. Why? As a warning to others who might try to hold them accountable?
Bellingcat@bellingcat.com · 9mo agoAfter the first shots are fired, the man collapses on the ground. Agents back away. At least another 5 shots are fired toward the man who is already incapacitated on the ground.
This is Alex Pretti. This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA. Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE. #ScientistsAgainstICE
Per his colleagues: The victim’s name was apparently Alex Pretti and he was an ICU nurse caring for severely injured veterans at the VA Hospital. He was acting as an observer, filming the raid. Any suggestion that he was there with violence on his mind is horrific gaslighting.
Dimitri Drekonja, MD, MS@dimitridrekonja.bsky.social · 9mo agoAlex 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.

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project
This is who federal agents are ripping out of their communities and shipping across the country. This is the danger we're being protected from.
Wouldn't that be cool if you could invoke the 25th Amendment? Wouldn't that be cool Ed? Because I live in an apartment, Ed. I can't invoke the 25th Amendment Ed. Let me know when you find someone who can, Ed. Try the bathrooms there are mirrors in there.
