I've spent my life opposing the U.S.'s BS wars, declared and undeclared.

I've spent years opposing the current U.S. regime headed up by THAT fuck.

For me, it's yet ANOTHER night of watching them pull this shit. For people on the other end, it's bombs raining from the sky.

My words are irrelevant.

People need to start cognizing this as the Epstein class, a class of people who ran in those circles and built those structures.

We have updated DetentionReports.com with the most recently released data from ICE.

Many people have asked that we add a map to the home page. We have added this feature. Click one of the blue icons to proceed to the report of the corresponding detention facility.

Toddler hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention and denied prescribed medication, lawsuit says The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress, according to a federal lawsuit.

People die without their medication.

Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to lack of medical care.

This is a toddler. A baby in respiratory failure.

ICE denied her medication.

It’s a cull.

They don’t care if detainees die or become disabled.

Close the camps.

Revealed: How Substack makes money from hosting Nazi newsletters Exclusive: Site takes a cut of subscriptions to content that promotes far-right ideology, white supremacy and antisemitism

Pretty sure this is very old news to most of us, but nice to see major outlets finally catching up.

No but seriously please consider getting off of substack as soon as you can. There's lot's of other non-nazi alternatives. Thanks.

Concentration camps. Disease has always been a primary killer in all camps.

Chronic illness, and the expired contract to provide medical care.

Mass detention of diabetics.

β€œaround one-third of detainees have a chronic illness and around 200 to 300 detainees require daily insulin.”

Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption:

On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm
I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.

We’ve just hit fascism level DEFCON 0 - Pam Bondi just said ICE will pull out if Minnesota hands over voter databases.

DOJ has now told you immigration was always their excuse and attempt to distract you from the broader goal:

Fascist power consolidation by brute force and fear-mongering.

AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

I have been warning for weeks the administration will do anything to get these records. They want to rig the midterms

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe 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 β€˜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 had 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.
