💔Alex J. Pretti💔 age 37, of South #Minneapolis was gunned on in cold blood by #ICE thugs today. He was Brandishing his phone recording 🧊.
No criminal record. Worked for the VA as an ICU nurse. Legal gun owner. Homeowner. Upstanding member of his community. He was a hero in his career, and went out like a hero trying to protect the women the ICE officer pushed down.
A TRUE hero all around, he didn’t deserve this. RIP #AlexPretti

"And that just looked like a flat out execution. I mean, even if the man was trying to struggle, even if as early... early reports from DHS are that he had a gun.
There's just no way that he could have, with that many people on top of him, really be a threat that would justify that kind of use of force."

"One of the agents then pulled a gun and shot him repeatedly. That individual has now been taken to the hospital and pronounced dead."
Mary McCord then says that though all the information is not yet in,
"Just based on the video that I saw, I saw, I don't know, six or eight agents on top of a man on the ground and then shots fired and the man prone on the ground."

Because much commentary is now being posted about the killing of a man in Minneapolis today by armed and masked federal agents, and because my previous thread about this today has grown long, I'm starting a separate thread about this now.
"There is some dispute now whether that was ICE or Customs and Border Patrol, wrestling an individual to the ground. He appeared to be motionless."

"...The father, identified in court filings as Elvis Joel TE, and his daughter were stopped and detained by officers around 1pm when they were returning home from the store. By the evening, a federal judge had ordered the girl be released by 9.30pm. But federal officials instead put both of them on a plane heading to a Texas detention center...."

The demonstrators marched in a circle outside in the bone-chilling cold.

"Minneapolis was home to a landmark #GeneralStrike nearly 100 years ago...
The #strike caused #Minneapolis’ industrial area... to shut down.
#police shot 67 picketing workers — most of them were shot in the back — and 2 were killed. 100,000 people attended the funeral procession for one of the strikers. The governor dispatched the #NationalGuard, and the [business owners] eventually agreed to the union’s demands, making the general strike a success.

But honestly I've never felt more hopeful that we actually have what it takes. That we can do the impossible, even when it seems insurmountable.
Because what it takes is us."

"They have come to the Twin Cities with 2000, 3000 troops & the people of #Minneapolis St Paul have answered back with tens of thousands more. The call for help goes out, and it gets answered by so many... Everywhere you look there are people—regular-ass people like you, like me—standing up to literal troops, everyone knowing full well how it could go and doing it anyway.
Nobody should have to do this.
But we do it."

ICE Detains 2-Year-Old Girl Days After Using 5-Year-Old as Bait | The New Republic
newrepublic.com/post/205638/ic…
ICE agents continue to target kids as they crack down on Minneapolis.
ICE detained a 2-year-old girl in Minneapolis on Thursday, just two days after using a 5-year-old as bait.
A district court judge ordered that the child be released by 9:30 p.m. on Friday after she and her father were detained by ICE at a traffic stop.

Police Arrest Huge Group of Faith Leaders in Minneapolis ICE Protest

From Harsha Walia (author of Undoing Border Imperialism, 2013):
With so many of us watching the tremendous mobilizations in Minneapolis, culminating in the call to action against ICE today, I wanted to share some of what I have gathered from talking to comrades in Minneapolis over the past few weeks. A few things stood out:
1) The general strike came from organizing for a general strike. Not from social media posting about going on a general strike, but organizing in neighbourhoods, organizing power in unions, and organizations drawing out members and networks.
This is critical because the past two years have seen a lot of viral calls for general strikes on a range of vital issues, but these have rarely materialized into the organizing power & logistical coordination necessary for an actual general strike.
2) Movement history and infrastructure: Every comrade I know is deeply rooted in that city's movement history and infrastructure - whether networks emerging from the American Indian Movement to labour organizing against Amazon to the George Floyd uprising.
This has meant: a grounding in the long arc of struggle helping people avoid repeating some of the same mistakes over and over again; learning across generations; not getting either easily overconfident or easily jaded; and relying on (while sharpening) existing movement infrastructure and informal networks especially around care, movement dynamics, and conflict resolution.
This is totally subjective but I have long felt that the most significant part of movement infrastructure is ensuring that people who are newly politicized to and joining the struggle are: able to keep learning and have their political consciousness expand, able to find political homes to keep organizing, don't burn out when things get long and hard, and people are brought into the absolute longevity of struggle with no false promises or false solutions (to avoid the cycles of fizzling out that we constantly see repeat).
3) The neighbourhood as central to political, social and civic life: It's not a coincidence that we are seeing some of the strongest and most effective rapid response networks in cities like Minneapolis precisely because the ethic of being a good neighbour - despite political differences - still rings true. What many may call mutual aid is basically people looking out for their community members, their neighbours, their teachers, their co-worker, their local street vendor etc.
This is precisely why any kind of organizing that reaches for relationality is central, not secondary - it breaks the capitalist idea of us as atomized, individual consumers and compels us to act in service to and in solidarity with others. And, perhaps more than anything, it's a politics more rooted in cultivating belonging than ideology.
Not sure what social media site this is from, but it's awesome. Thanks to Leila Habib for sharing it. Finally, a good use for a leafblower.
The people of Minnesota putting the useless clowns in Washington to shame.
Dems couldn't even put on a united front against ICE last night,
..... today people are standing out in the freezing cold while they sit in offices and take calls from donors and generally eat out of each others asses....
