"We all owe a debt of gratitude to the resilient and principled stance of the people of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota who have remained undeterred. They have fought for their neighbors and for themselves. They have stood in proud defense of their city, and their right to peacefully protest. The organizers on the ground have been extraordinary."

The chief federal judge in #Minnesota says the #Trump admin has failed to comply with orders to hold hearings for detained immigrants & ordered the head of #ICE to appear Friday to explain why he shouldn’t be held in #contempt.

In an order Monday, Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz said #ToddLyons, the acting director of ICE, must appear personally in court. Schlitz took the admin to task over its handling of bond hearings for immigrants it has detained.

Yes, It’s #Fascism

Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many & too strong to deny.

I think this cartoon from 2018 is one of the best Trump cartoons I've done, visualizing hate speech and xenophobia without the need for words.

"In a way the cowards and opportunists enabling Trump are more to blame for where we are than Trump and company themselves: monsters are monsters and can’t help themselves, but the enablers have a choice. And they have chosen, again and again, to accommodate and facilitate evil.”

“The lies about the public execution of Alex Pretti and the extortion tied to the withdrawal of ICE agents from Minnesota are unforgivable. They are the tactics used by the cruelest dictators in the ugliest moments of the last century.”

"It’s all lies. But this is the Trump playbook: Kill you and then smear you as a terrorist. I’ve said this before, but I feel compelled to repeat it: The Trump regime could literally kill your family for no reason, and his supporters would defend it."

"We know the playbook of what comes next because we’ve already seen it. We know that the news cycle will erupt in shock and fury. And we know that the Trump administration and its allies will lie. They will tell us not to believe the evidence of our eyes and we won’t know what to do with what is state-sanctioned gaslighting of an entire nation and beyond."

"These statements [made by the Trump regime] seem to be lies. ...

So the government didn’t just use masked, armed, unidentified agents of the state to execute a citizen on the street, in broad daylight and in front of dozens of witnesses—it lied about the victim and what happened in the most brazen manner possible.

The government killed him. Then it smeared him."

"These MAGA Nazis patrol the streets of Minneapolis, terrorizing blameless residents, hurling teargas canisters at peaceful protestors, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, soliciting 'Creep Sex' with minors, shooting smiling mothers in the face, wrestling VA hospital RNs to the ground and shooting them repeatedly in the back—" (continued in /18)

"It's out there now between the shooting of Renee Good and I'm just going to throw in here the the the kidnapping of a 5-year-old and a two-year-old, but I'm not going to talk about that today. But the shooting of Alex Pretti as well.

It is no longer possible for people to say, 'Oh, I believe in law and order and so I support Donald Trump.'"

"when we know that's what they're doing because thank God for all those people with their cameras on their phones that are recording because we have evidence that they are doing it. Nonetheless, they are continuing to do it.

As happened when Renee Good was murdered, Trump's federal goons initially forbade them to check on the patient. The federal agents were not themselves checking Pretti's pulse or performing CPR. They appeared to be counting his wounds. When the doctor was finally permitted to offer assistance, they found Pretti with no pulse.

They state that they "did not see [Pretti] attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." When they saw the shooting from their apartment, they felt compelled by the ethical code of their profession to render assistance.

Chris Geidner offers digital images from another affidavit made yesterday in the federal court case against Kristi Noem and others. This affidavit was made by a 29-year-old pediatrician who lives near where Trump's federal goons executed Alex Pretti. This witness saw what happened from their apartment window.

"I don't know what the agents will do when they find me. I do know that they're not telling the truth about what happened. I've heard that other witneses might have beenarrested and taken to the Whipple Building."

"I have read the statement from DHS about what happened and it is wrong. The man did not approach the agents with a gun. He approached them with a camera. He was just trying to help a woman get up and they took him to the ground.

I feel afraid. Only hours have passed since they shot a man right in front me and Idon't feel like I can go home because I heard agents were looking for me."

"Four or five agents had him on the ground and they just started shooting him. They shot him so many times. I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him andthey just shot him.

The video I recorded of what happened accurately depicts the events leading up tothe agents shooting him and several minutes afterwards. The video is attached as Exhibit 1."

The following excerpts are from an affidavit made yesterday by an eyewitness to the execution of Alex Pretti, in the case filed in federal court against Kristi Noem and others:

"The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didn't see him touch any of them—he wasn't even turned toward them. It didn't look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn't see him with a gun."

"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."

“You know the other person who ordered extrajudicial executions on his own people? President Duterte in the Philippines. He, like Trump, was elected in 2016. He waged a war not on immigrants but drugs. Last year he was arrested for crimes against humanity.”

“Courage is contagious. Carney’s words made a difference. That’s what words do. And it’s why the mass cowardice of America’s rich and entitled and powerful is the real problem America is facing right now. A cowardice that’s being normalised by the enabling actions of other world leaders.”

“In countries under the Iron Curtain, people felt powerless, but they weren’t, that was Havel’s message. And also, Carney’s. The job of power is to make people believe they have no power, but it’s a lie. And it’s the same in Minnesota. …the ordinary people of Minneapolis aren’t. They’re showing what it takes to stand up to power. And this killing only proves it.”
