1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey 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 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.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity
in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today
Fuck RFK jr and fuck this administration
This video is for all US citizens who are currently overwhelmed by Trump's more than 200 executive orders.
THIS should be retweeted to the MAX.
I never saw a more helpful video.
(It's about two minutes long. It's worth a lot.)
Over 600 local events with many more being added every day.
In all 50 states and DC, we will demand an end to the most brazen power grab in modern history.
We hope to see you in the streets on April 5: handsoff2025.com/?SQ...

Shameful.
Politeness, decorum, adherence to norms, and plucky little signs are not going to get us anywhere right now. Via @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social
You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.
Here's a wonkish, in-depth, well-worth-reading conversation between @nathantankus.bsky.social and @pkrugman.bsky.social about the depths of depravity of DOGE, structurally speaking.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

My U.S. Rep, a Democrat, held a town hall and explicitly said that THE REASON she was speaking out louder now was because she got so many calls and emails.
DEFINITELY YELL AT THEM. It’s the only language they speak. It’s literally how they gauge public opinion.
I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.
A tiny handwritten sign at the Tesla dealership as a big crowd protests Musk reads “We hate him too” yup 👍
Big crowd at the SF Tesla dealership protesting our unelected overlord. A tiny sign hangs from an upstairs window
Being depressed is not a character flaw. Being anxious is not a character flaw. They are conditions often with physiological roots that may or not be treated effectively with medication. RFK's point of view is that of a recovering junkie, where the drug WAS the problem and rehab was the answer.

The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other
Awe, that No Face is so cute!
an orange cat in a semi-dark room is peeking out from a footstool that has a cat cave built into it. the foot still is shaped like a hippopotamus so he’s looking out from a hippo’s belly
Jorts come watch tv. Jorts let’s clean your ears. Jorts put your toys away. Jorts do your timesheets. Jorts you’ve been in the hippo all day. Why are they so obsessed just let me stay in the hippo

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.
