4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government
I sure hope Don Lemon files a civil suit against the Federal government for a number Trump understands, like $47m.
Obviously, Lemon will win in whatever bullshit criminal case they're bringing. But really do hope he drags their asses back to court again when he wins the first time.
The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.
I really try to keep an even keel, and self-regulate because it’s the only way to be in this for the long haul, but sometimes the fury overtakes you for a bit.
Journalist Georgia Fort has been released from custody (video @fox9mn.bsky.social)
This new file released appears to show Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussing visiting Epstein's island in 2012.
Lutnick previously claimed that he cut off ties around 2005 with Epstein after being revolted by him.
This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.
Decide. Who are you?
CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.
It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.
I think the Seahawks should build a new stadium in Bellevue or Renton, because they shouldnt be playing in the Sounders Soccer stadium, they deserve their own NFL specific stadium.
What is perfectly clear here is it's the people of Minneapolis who's won this battle & not those Ice agents, not Kristie Nombe, not Greg Bravino, & not Trump. It was the people saying NO MORE ICE AGENTS AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH GET OUT YOU FILTHY MURDERERS. Sorry for any spelling errors of names.
I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

I wanted to start this week off with a sense of slight optimism. The backlash against the shooting this weekend has been real, and the pushback from Americans shows that we are still standing together.
Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.
The racial and ethnic background of the 40 people killed by ICE and Border Patrol or who otherwise died in their custody is not entirely clear, but what I found looking over the nationalities and names of those available (with names not being perfect indicators by any means) does reveal...
Gallego: I think it's ridiculous that Kristi Noem just went out right away and basically called this poor victim, a violent terrorist. That right there is impeachable. She lied about a citizen to justify his murder. The president should ask for her resignation.
It turns out that when the good guys do have guns they still get shot in the back by Federal thugs.
Political cartoon. A Voltaire quote in the upper left corner reads, "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." Beneath, Vance, Noem, and Bovino point at photos of Renee Good and Alex Pretti and scream, "domestic terrorists!"
A judge should not have to ever make an order like this, the order itself speaks volumes about the corruption of th federal government under Trump
They have removed their agent from the state with his firearm & they probably deleted the videos on victims phone

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Sarah McBride just gave the rallying cry we ALL needed to hear right now. "Hope isn't dead"—but what she says comes next will fire you up. This is a MUST-WATCH. 👇
This is ok tho

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti: "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. 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.”

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti:
We are allowed to form opinions and jump to conclusions without all the evidence. We’re just regular civilians on social media. Government officials responsible for investigating deadly shootings should not be doing the same thing we are.
A photo of the man murdered by ICE today, just before the shooting. He’s standing and holding a phone in his right hand and holding his empty left hand to the sky and looking behind him at a woman running away while an ICE agent closes in on him from the front. On the ground behind the man is a woman that the victim will soon try to help, leading several ICE agents to attack him and pin him to the ground, before shooting him several times.
We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun
“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “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 ..”

ANOTHER ANGLE: the original video was deleted but I screen capped it. Here it is.
ICE is a terror organization and must be dismantled, abolished and its members prosecuted. Full stop.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.
