It's very cool that the World Baseball Classic this year is immediately after the Olympics, if you're having withdrawal from major international sporting events

watching the olympics on peacock is weird because everything is either ending or beginning in a while or it's curling

Someone who actually loves @LindseyGrahamSC ought to step in with an intervention. Sadly, I suspect nobody actually loves him.

South Carolina, rid yourself of this drama. You have a candidate in @drannieandrews.com who you can trust, and who should be your next Senator.

So it's legal to carry a gun for self-protection, but if ICE catch you legally carrying a gun for self-protection, they kill you?

RIP Alex Jeffrey Pretti

Jeff Day JANUARY 24, 2026 AT 12:34 PM Sources identify man shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti of south Minneapolis The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis this morning has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

Pretti, 37, has an address listed in south Minneapolis.
At a news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara said the man who was shot was a 37-year-old white man with no serious criminal history and a record that showed some parking tickets. Law enforcement sources said Saturday their records show Pretti had no serious criminal history.
O'Hara said the man was a "lawful gun owner" with a permit. Records show that Pretti attended the University of Minnesota. State records show Pretti was issued a nursing license in 2021, and it remains active through March 2026.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was the victim’s name.

He was a nurse.

ICE executed a nurse.

A cropped photo from a video of the ICE execution of Alex Pretti, taken by the woman who was wearing pink on the nearby sidewalk. Several agents are attacking a woman (one agent) and Pretti (5-6 agents), who were observing. Most are beating Pretti, who in this frame is on his knees on the ground while they surround him. The agent who proceeds to shoot him in the back is wearing a black balaclava and green/brown jacket, dark jeans. He is looking directly at Pretti’s back, while another agent standing to his left, wearing a grey coat, is reaching down to remove a handgun which had been holstered in Pretti’s back pants waistband. The agent sees this happenβ€”sees Pretti be disarmedβ€”and then proceeds to shoot him several times in the back. Pretti did not reach for his gun, and according to Minneapolis police was licensed to carry a firearm.

A video still of an intersection in Minneapolis filled with tear gas.

A video still of an intersection in Minneapolis filled with tear gas.

Minneapolis police are falling back, shooting tear gas canisters at the entire neighborhood exactly the way that ICE agents do. In these situations, there is no meaningful distinction between ICE and the local police. Demonstrators are attempting to protect each other by throwing back the canisters.

The man who was killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis today was a 37yo nurse, a graduate of the University of Minnesota. He had a licence to carry a firearm. He was being beaten up by half a dozen agents when at least one opened fire on him on the ground. They fired more than seven shots at him.

The world is witnessing what Trump has done to the people and the great city of Minneapolis here in America. You and yours could be next. Don’t take my word ask Venezuela?

Trump’s Gestapo just shot a man in Minneapolis 12 times at point blank range. Ignorance has taken over. We gotta take the power back.

The now TWO killings in Minnesota are basically 2/3rds of the murders in Minneapolis this YEAR so far. Both were not protestors but legal observers, there to watch and document police actions.

What does it say that ICE is killing the very folks documenting their misdeeds?

I’m sorry Governor Walz, but your state is under MILITARY occupation by federal paramilitary forces. Civil War is upon you sir and you MUST do your duty and uphold the oath you took to serve and protect the people of Minnesota. Strongly worded letters and phone calls are NOT enough!

Let's talk about the midterms.

ICE is terrorizing and punishing blue states and cities to suppress your votes using fear from ICE- yes it's already started.

Blue states need to wake up and have a plan to deploy the National Guard to protect polling stations & voters from the federal government!
