Congressional Democrats: what would you do if Hitler had seized control of the US government?
DO THAT. BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING.

"The Department of Homeland Security is now walking back a Saturday statement that described Pretti as having 'violently resisted' Customs and Border Protection agents and suggested he intended to 'massacre law enforcement.' A DHS spokesperson told NBC News that the initial account was based on chaotic and incomplete reports from CBP personnel on the scene."

Major Update: White House Officials Throw Each Other Under the Bus as FBI Raids Georgia Election Office and DHS Walks Back Pretti Claims
The knives are out in the Trump Administration this afternoon.Aaron Parnas (The Parnas Perspective)
"It’s hard to know the truth when everyone is so biased [the grandmother says]. The college student near me, who spends most of his time in the events center — and, based on the evidence, a lot of his other time as well, chewing the skin off his fingers — tells me, 'People need to comply with the police.'
That’s it. The subject is changed."

Liz Dye reports on what she experienced at Trump's rally yesterday in Clive, Iowa:
"When everything is always a lie, the truth eventually escapes. What does it do out there in the open?
When I gently bring up Minneapolis and what’s happening there to the people around me, the grandmother two chairs down frowns and says she doesn’t believe most of what the media reports."

The big question: Why would a highly placed US general be tweeting it out repeatedly?
And who would so many armchair warriors immediately glom onto it to declare that it vindicates the Trump regime when it claims that Pretti's execution was caused by his pulling a gun?
The bigger question: how to build a sane society when many of us are so addicted to toxic lies that we refuse to see truth in front of our eyes?

As PolitiFact notes,
"A viral image of Minneapolis resident Alex Pretti was manipulated with Google’s artificial intelligence tool, Gemini.
Clues it’s not an authentic photo: One officer is missing his head, and the hands and fingers of Pretti and the agents are distorted."
With all the actual footage available for us to see, many of us knew, of course, immediately that this was a bogus image.

Stoehr notes that the doctored, false AI image was tweeted repeatedly by General Tony Thomas, once head of Special Operations Command. It then went viral on social media.
Yesterday, PolitiFact released a statement:
"We rate claims the image shared on X is a real photo of Pretti False."

This is an AI-manipulated image of Alex Pretti
This isn’t a real photo of Minneapolis nurse Alex Pretti pinned down by federal immigration agents. The image has a digital watermark that shows it was generated using Google’s artificial intelligence tool, Gemini.@politifact
Stoehr features a doctored AI-produced image of Pretti immediately before Trump's masked thugs shot him repeatedly in the back. The image appears to show Pretti pulling his gun — though actual footage of what happened, from repeated angles, shows that this did not ever happen and his gun was taken away before he was murdered. He never touched the gun.

"Renee Good was shot in the face. Alex Pretti was shot in the back. Their deaths were not accidental. They were not the result of poor or insufficient training. They were the result of intent.
Why are moderates worried about seeming extreme when the context is murder by the state? In that setting, there’s no such thing as an overreaction."

Moderate Democrats worry about overreacting. The real danger is underreacting
Murder by the state is the breaking point, says Jill Lawrence.John Stoehr (Editorial Board)
"Disasters, unfortunately, are not mitigated by ideological experiments, management theories, or last-minute political theater. Responding to a massive storm requires competence, people power, and foresight—qualities in short supply in the Trump administration, where agencies are run as if government itself is the enemy."
Noting that with the fierce winter storm that just swept through wide swathes of the US, Cliff Schecter writes,
"The United States is now facing a winter storm of almost biblical proportions. ...
Today, under Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, FEMA resembles less a rescue agency than a badly managed charity raffle staffed by ghosts."

"For MAGA, authoritarianism is clearly the highest value, and even earlier commitments to gun rights can fall by the wayside. Mixed in with the authoritarianism is tribalism. The right believes in gun rights, but only for the right sort of people."

MAGA Is Proving How Little It Actually Cares About Gun Rights | The Nation
The ability to kill dissidents at will is more important to Trump and his supporters than the Second Amendment.smccroskey (The Nation)
"The coordinated messages indicate that the administration believes that attacking Pretti’s gun carry is its best chance of justifying his killing to the public, but those talking points have already sparked backlash from some of Trump’s closest allies: gun-rights activists."

"In social media posts and interviews, officials including FBI Director Kash Patel, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and even Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett have falsely argued that Pretti’s mere possession of a gun or an extra magazine was illegal or evidence of his nefarious intent."

"'Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota.
Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing,'" (continued in /4)

“'In the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a ‘domestic terrorist,’ the statement reads. 'Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts.'"

"The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) — the largest union representing federal workers and the one that happened to represent Alex Pretti — has also issued one statement blaming the Trump administration for the escalation that led to his death this weekend and another on Monday, calling for the resignation of both Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller."

When I posted yesterday on social media about the use of Liam as bait by ICE, a young blond woman (so her profile photo shows her to be) whom I don't even know responsed with a laughing emoji and informed me that Liam and his father are pieces of s—t who deserve everything coming to them.
Evil.
That's the right word for this.

"The only people who support ice tactics are whose who are willfully evil."
This is what Jess Piper concludes as a mother for 30 years who has raised five children, as she looks at the photos of little five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos being used as "bait" by ICE to entrap his family before he and his father are kidnapped and whisked away to Texas.
Evil.

"Trump’s approval on immigration has dropped to 44% approve / 53% disapprove (net -9), and his deportation policy is at 42% / 54% (net -12). Border security remains his only positive issue at 50% / 46% (net +4). Trump’s numbers on all three have declined since our last poll in October, 2025."

"Lunas Campos died of asphyxiation after guards put pressure on his neck and chest during an altercation during which Lunas Campos asked for his medication. Two detainees testified that they saw guards choking Lunas Campos, who repeatedly told them he couldn’t breathe. The Trump administration has since tried to deport the two witnesses."
