To George and Laura, Bill and Hillary — we're grateful for your friendship, counsel, and devotion to this country. And to Joe and Jill, thank you for being on this journey with us.

When political cartoons hit so accurately you want to make giant billboards of these everywhere.

Today in Chicago, Barack and Michelle Obama reminded Americans how we can be our best as a country, just as they did during their eight years in the White House.

Obama: I am not immune to anger or doubt. But I do know this when we lose faith in each other, when we stop believing that voting matters… we open the door to the most ruthless or the most careless, or the most fearful among us who see some groups and some people as more equal than others

Frost: Bondi’s employment status doesn't matter. She could go on to be an attorney. She could be unemployed. She could go work at a restaurant. It doesn't matter. She has to be in front of the Oversight Committee on April 14th for that deposition.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

The Next Coup Attempt

And How to Stop It

Hell, yeah. “I’ve got white skin, so I’m using my privilege to speak for my friends and neighbors. We’re telling them to stay home and stay safe, and we’re coming out and fighting for them.”

Yep. Mentioned this last night on @allinwithchris.bsky.social and he was 🤯

As I wrote earlier today, waiting for Maduro to say that Venezuela conspired with Obama to swing the 2016 and 2020 elections. Followed by Maduro and his wife being transferred to the same cushy prison occupied by Ghislaine Maxwell.

Same!!!

Yep. I’ve been pissed since Bush and SCOTUS stole the 2000 election. But even i am paying much close attention to everything now. Local races, school boards. The Nazis, like roaches, are everywhere. We have to find every one and stamp it out of existence.

Minneapolis may have finally hit a breaking point, and I’ll be honest, watching this gets me emotional. This has to stop. A short time ago…

Noem: "An individual approached US border patrol officers... The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently." Video footage from multiple angles proves that this is outright bullshit. Alex Pretti did not approach ICE officers nor did he react violently.

In this video, it appears Alex Pretti is trying to protect another protester from being assaulted by federal agents when he is sprayed in the face with some kind of substance and then shot to death: www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

From the minnesota community on Reddit: Another closer angle showing him trying to protect other protesters

Iran was threatened for killing protesters. After two killings in America, is it ok for Iran to now threaten America for killing protesters?

DA Bregman: If ICE comes in without a warrant, without reasonable suspicion, without probable cause, that is false imprisonment in New Mexico. You can’t confine, restrain, or detain someone without proper legal authority to do so. And there’s no exception for law enforcement.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Walz: Minnesotans are witnessing, and we're creating a log of evidence for the future prosecution of ice agents and officials responsible for this.

I feel the same way now as I felt the night of J6. I know now after going through the aftermath of that what their playbook is in these situations - to cover up, lie, rewrite history. We can only hope that there are enough decent Americans now who won’t let them do it again.

Kristi Noem and DHS don’t want us to see this video. 📌 Alex was disarmed BEFORE he was shot. This was murder.

Stephen Miller is a very sick person, more so, IMO, than the president. And he is calling the shots. I remember when Terry Moran dared to make this observation and got fired from ABC for it.

Walz: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this. As I told the white house in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period.

ICE executed legal observer and VA nurse Alex Pretti today. ICE exists to kidnap children & murder Americans. They must be abolished, & those complicit in their crimes must be brought to justice. Here's our National Press Coordinator, @hunterisntdunn.bsky.social, with 2 things you can do right now:

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

I’ve reached out to both Gov. Walz and Sen. Klobuchar following the latest shooting involving federal agents in Minnesota. Marylanders have witnessed this cruelty in our own communities – during a school drop-off in Salisbury and in Glen Burnie on Christmas Eve. These are not isolated incidents.

They want to slaughter all that are Good and Pretti.

A pretext to take over the midterms. They’re already positioning to steal it. Fuck Trump! Fuck Republicans!

So the truth ALWAYS comes out and this time about ICE. They want the voter registrations in democratic states so they can steal the 2026 election. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Major Update: Pam Bondi Demands Voter Rolls in Exchange for Removing ICE as Alex Pretti's Family Blasts Trump Administration

We have a major update this evening, and well, surging ICE agents to places like Minnesota may not have been able immigration enforcement after all.
