WOW! What a remarkable tribute to the victims of Trump’s ICE. Renée Good and Alex Pretti.

We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️

Children die in school shootings and it’s “not the guns”. Mass shootings claim lives multiple times a year and it’s “not the guns”. Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people during a protest and it’s “not the guns” ICE kills Alex Pretti, and suddenly it’s his fault because he “had a gun”

Every person in the US over the age of 18 needs to call their senators today. And keep calling every single day. 2 phone calls, 10 minutes of your time. Here is the link to find your senators and their contact information: senate.gov/senators/senat… Use the script provided.

Another American murdered in cold blood by the U.S. government. 😩

Your wife is the shit. 😂

Best advice I’ve ever heard about winter driving….with a Southern spin.

BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons. Please share this far and wide... "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital," the family said in a statement provided to CNN. "Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman." "The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed." "Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you." It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless. “He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.” Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight. Please like and share.

Huge happy 80th birthday to the legendary @DollyParton 🎉- we are marking it with a parody of her 2nd number one hit, written by the @BeeGees. Our 🎶 version's called "Donald's Sewage Stream" - since he brought his sick drivel to #Europe #Davos #NATO & our #armedforces this week

🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING — Another Angle Showing Alex Pretti Never Pulled a Gun.

ICE murdered Alex Pretti, an ICU Nurse Who worked at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Dear America, please don't normalise this

‼️After watching several angles of this, it’s very VERY clear, that the man ICE just MURDERED; • Never charged at the agents • Never had his hands on the gun • Had both hands on the pavement (see blue circle) And most importantly; the ICE agent wearing a grey hoodie DISARMED him BEFORE any shots were fired. (See red circle) This is another straight up assassination in the streets of Minneapolis by ICE!!

BREAKING: In a stunning report, CNN just analyzed all the ways Donald Trump and his family have profited from his Presidency. This is insane.

These are Minnesotans out there in the freezing cold weather showing their way of Resisting ICE!

Trophies will be accepted tomorrow at the White House from 9–5.

@pwharris Happy birthday from Maine!

It's my birthday! What a cool day because the whole world throws a party to celebrate! ;)
