Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

Watching Alex Pretti being murdered by law enforcement is revisiting the encounters that Rodney King and George Floyd had with the police. It is a sad repeat of excessive force by law enforcement.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Leah Valenti, appointee of Ron DeSantis, said she found that just 15 out of 176,000 names she uploaded to D.H.S. came back as noncitizens. Of those, she found that three were people mistakenly added to the rolls who never intended to register to vote; two others were naturalized citizens.

all my life I was told that America had the greatest system of government ever β€” but all I can see is one party high-fiving itself over the state-sponsored murder of its citizens, and the other party impotently writing strongly-worded letters about it. WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK

Once again the absolute dumbest people you and I know will be downright gleeful about this.

Disgraceful.

Congress needs to investigate. It looks to me like ICE is using a different standard for the use of deadly force than the standard used by our local police.

A formal, studio-style head-and-shoulders portrait of a woman, composed and well lit. She has long, dark brown hair worn in loose, glossy waves that fall over her shoulders and frame a warm, smiling face. Her makeup is polished β€” defined brows, subtle eye makeup and a bright, even complexion β€” and her expression is poised and confident, with a slight, approachable smile.

She’s dressed in a dark blazer over a black top and wears a short gold-bead necklace that catches the light. The lighting is soft and even, creating gentle highlights on her hair and cheekbones while keeping the overall tone professional and deliberate.

The background places her in an official-looking setting: an American flag is visible at left and, at right, a blue circular seal with white lettering and a heraldic emblem is partially shown, both slightly out of focus so the subject remains the clear focal point. Across the lower part of the image a line of white sans-serif text has been superimposed; it includes a personal name followed by the phrase β€œIs The Enemy From Within,” which creates a stark, confrontational caption beneath the otherwise conventional portrait. The overall effect juxtaposes a formal, authoritative portrait style with a pointed, provocative message.

North Carolina man who voted for Trump forced to shut family lumber mill, cut 50 jobs due to tariffs. What's next for rural America? 'In a way it's as unnerving as watching a loved one take their final breath.'
