Organizers say Friday’s #GeneralStrike is part of a growing #nonviolent movement to combat #ICE’s aggressive enforcement tactics, which have come under renewed scrutiny following a series of fatal #shootings involving federal agents.

#DOJ has opened a #federal #CivilRights probe into the death of #AlexPretti

[but not #ReneeGood. Neither should have been killed, but I’ll say it again, Pretti was a straight man, Good a gay woman. Both shootings were recorded on video by multiple witnesses showing neither was at fault. Yet the #homophobic #misogynistic #Trump admin is only willing to look into the straight man’s #murder.]
