BREAKING: 🇺🇸 Million-man demonstrations by Americans now against Trump Massive demonstrations with more than 9 million protesters against the American president under the slogan (no to monarchy, no to extremism, no to wars, our forces are not for sale) organized by Democrats and some Republicans, basically rejecting Trump's policy of igniting wars recklessly. The demonstrations focused in several cities, including (New York, Washington, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, and others), and are considered the first attempt by Trump's opponents and American peace advocates to pressure the government to stop wars.

ICE Officer admitted he raped a woman in custody for months, he did this in exchange for letting the woman see her daughter. 😡 One day all of them must face the consequences of their actions.

The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts. The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him. The videos don't lie. A man is dead, killed in cold blood. There is no conceivable justification for this intentional homicide. And make no mistake, that intentional, unjustified homicide was committed on behalf of Donald J. Trump. Trump's militarization of Minneapolis and other parts of our nation isn't about illegal immigration. It's not about enhancing public safety. It's about destroying any sense of that safety—to intimidate political opponents, and to punish dissent. It's about a corrupt, out-of-control regime's effort to provoke citizens in order to justify the violence it desires to commit against them so that it can expand and retain its power. That is fascism. It is tyranny. It is governmental criminality. And the ultimate legal check the Framers of our Constitution provided to stop this kind of tyranny and criminality in the executive branch is impeachment and removal of the executive. Congress needs to do its job. Now. Before it's too late.

He had a permit to carry He was legally exercising his 2nd Amendment right. He did not draw the weapon. He was filming when they approached him. They had taken his weapon from its holster before they shot him. It was murder.

To be clear about what this depicts: An immigration officer threw a woman onto the ground. Alex Pretti, a registered nurse on scene as a legal observer, is filming and goes to help the woman up. He is then pepper sprayed and thrown to the ground for no discernible reason. Many officer surround and assault him; one removes his firearm, which police say appears to have been legally registered. They then execute him with a hail of bullets. They are, objectively speaking, both cowards and criminals, while Pretti is what we teach people an American ought to be.

6 guys beating the shit outta ONE person then KILLING him!! Fuck the ICE agents. 6 against one and yall still shoot and kill somebody. Yall had him out numbered and decided to KILL him like it was a video game and he can just he his life back smh

Positions ICE has taken: - We can enter your home without a warrant - You must carry your papers at all times - But we can ignore them and only our scanner matters - We can detain you anywhere, no matter your age, situation or status - Indefinitely with no access to a lawyer - And basically no right to a day in court - We can send you to a third world prison if we choose - But we can’t bring you back if we made a mistake - And if you interfere with any of this we can shoot you because you are a terrorist How is this not a recipe for totalitarianism?

As insane as this sounds, it’s true: Pam Bondi sent Minnesota officials a letter today saying ICE would leave the state if Minnesota turns over its voter files to the Trump Administration. They’re openly using state violence as a bargaining chip to seize election infrastructure.

Alex Pretti was murdered.

An ICE agent in Minnesota to a woman recording him: “Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?” He then knocked her phone out of her hand. What has America become?

"All of us, citizens and immigrants alike, are being ruled by people who think life is a privilege bestowed by authority, and death is a fair penalty for disobedience." nytimes.com/2026/01/08/opi…

ICE tackle man off his bike inside courthouse parking lot—smash his face into pavement. "Agent covered the man's mouth so he couldn't answer when I asked his name." "Four agents were kneeling on his back at same time... it was quite traumatic." Another individual was target of the warrant—but then they grabbed this man leaving his accelerated rehabilitation hearing instead. If he had been allowed to complete the rehabilitation program—all of his charges would have been wiped off his record. According to new Connecticut law passed in November—ICE agents can no longer arrest immigrants in the public areas of a courthouse. #DemsUnited

In Chicago, a Border Patrol agent rammed a woman’s car, looked at her and said, “Do something, bitch.” Then he shot her 5 times. In Minneapolis, an ICE agent shot a woman as she tried to drive away, firing three shots into her head. And after killing her… he said, “fucking bitch.” They dehumanize women They dehumanize immigrants They dehumanize POC And they dehumanize the LGBTQ+ community To justify using violence. When violence is preceded or followed by dehumanization, it isn’t an accident.

Maybe I’m too much of a European, but I honestly can’t understand how so many Americans find it perfectly natural to be shot in the head on the spot for the slightest act of disobedience toward any sort of law enforcement. You might wanna revisit that "land of the free" thing.

UNARMED WOMAN: “Shame on you.” ICE GOON: “Have you not learned from the past few days?” UNARMED WOMAN: “Learned what? What’s our lesson?” ICE GOON: *VIOLENTLY SNATCHES HER PHONE* (H/T @Mollyploofkins)

BREAKING: Massive Crowds of Anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis, Minnesota as we speak. The tide is turning. America is Fed Up. Americans should be fighting back against what is happening in this country. Having masked, secret police shooting people, breaking into homes and cars, is NOT normal. Remember though to stay 100% peaceful and avoid violence at all cost. They want violence in order to send the military in.

From a pamphlet from the U.S. govt to Army personnel in 1945 about fascism: “[Fascists] make their own rules and change them when they choose…. They maintain themselves in power by use of force combined with propaganda based on primitive ideas of ‘blood’ and ‘race,’ by skillful manipulation of fear and hate, and by false promise of security. The propaganda glorifies war and insists it is smart and ‘realistic’ to be pitiless and violent.” Yes, the U.S. govt is fascist. Courtesy of Heather Cox-Richardson.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

🚨 JUST IN: ICE agents are storming homes in Minneapolis and detaining an entire family. This is happening right now; on video. Federal agents kicking in doors, rounding up families, while the city is already reeling from the killing of Renee Good. This is not “law enforcement.” This is escalation.
