"A preening octogenarian dilettante in clownface with little more than the skill to keep talking"
"The incarnation of daddy issues as a concept, soft at the jowls and so ashamed of where he’s from that he’s also ashamed of where he pretends to be from"

"But considering they call anyone in the vicinity of an ICE raid a protester these days, it seems more likely he was doing what we now know he often did: observing, warning, deescalating, and documenting. …
Our nation never called him a hero. He didn’t serve himself, he served those who served. But I think that you can learn a lot about someone through a study of their enemies."

"A week before the government murdered Alex Pretti, they dogpiled him in their usual fashion, and broke one of his ribs. The news says he was 'protesting' the detention of 'other individuals.' That's a fine thing to do."

He Served Those Who Served: Portrait of a Man Named Pretti
It’s better to not know heroes exist than to find out they did only after they’re gone.Justin Briley (Liberal Currents)
David Kurtz warns us not to fall for Trump regime claims, echoed by compliant media, that DHS are probing Pretti's murder:
"As MSNow has since confirmed, the Trump DOJ has decided not to open a civil rights investigation into the Pretti shooting, the same decision it made in the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good."

"In law enforcement departments across the country, badge numbers are visible on uniforms precisely so that when force is used, especially lethal force, the public can know who was involved. That transparency is not a nicety. It is a safeguard."

"The killing by federal agents of two Americans in Minneapolis this month — Renee Good on Jan. 7, 2026, and Alex Pretti on Jan. 24 — has created a backlash to the administration’s policy of mass deportations and 'immigration enforcement' that is causing voters (in all parties) to move against the president’s agenda."

At Least 32 People Died in ICE Custody Last Year, as Fatal Shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti Spur National Outrage

“DHS officers have fired shots during enforcement arrests or at people protesting their operations 16 times since July, and as in the recent shootings in Minneapolis, in each case the Trump admin has publicly declared their actions justified before waiting for investigations to be completed."

"I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do."

Trump Advisers Quietly Turn on Stephen Miller as Brutal ICE Poll Hits
As the schism in Trumpworld worsens over ICE’s atrocities, a journalist who spent time in Minneapolis explains how recent events reveal that the Trump-Miller-MAGA ideology miscalculated at a very profound level.The New Republic
Bruce Springsteen has just released a song paying tribute to Minneapolis and the courage of its people:
"Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis."

A whole lot of us are full to the gills with anger now at seeing the cruelty and injustice unfolding in our country, paid for with our tax dollars, as we're lied to and lied to and lied to again.
And as loud self-professed Christians defend all of that.
So don't try to talk to me about that smashed car window and that fit of anger and don't shame yourself by saying it justifies the public execution of an innocent man.
Just don't.

And would not have been murdered if he'd only obeyed authority.
Those SAME PEOPLE must have zero sense of shame if they think they can advance the latter narrative while totally ignoring their absolute silence — but they whooped and cheered — vis-a-vis the first narrative.
The murdered man displayed anger days before he was murdered?

Trampling on law and order and authority.
And now THE SAME PEOPLE who clapped and cheered when all that happened want to convince us that a man who was just executed publicly by federal agents deserved his death because he
Brought a gun (which he never touched) to a protest.
Smashed a car light days before he was murdered.
Had his rib broken by masked thugs who pounced on him when he did that.

I'm thinking today of folks bringing guns and other weapons — knives, hockey sticks, flag poles — to a protest.
Then smashing windows, breaking glass (defecating and urinating on floors and on a desk).
Being warned repeatedly by law officials not to climb through a smashed window, and still climbing through that window and being shot.
Defying law and order and authority.
Ignoring law and order and authority.

"If all of them want to say that they didn't recognize Pretti as the guy who'd already had his ribs broken in an earlier encounter with federal agents, let them say it under oath in a courtroom as part of their defense against a charge of murder in the first degree. Maybe they'll be loosened up for a plea bargain by then."
A reminder that paywalled articles like Charles Pierce's can often be accessed at the Archive Today site.

"And then five shots ring out, a pause, and then five more. Presumably, Pretti at least was incapacitated by the first volley, which means the second burst was meant to do what? Kill a dead man? Intimidate the witnesses? Everything that the ICE agents do in that video can arguably be interpreted as planned and purposeful. (Remember what I said about malice aforethought?)"
#AlexPretti #DHS #murder #execution

"And then there's the new video of Pretti's killing in which the last shreds of the official government story are, well, shredded.
There's no 'riot.' There aren't enough people on the sidewalk for a decent hockey fight. An ICE officer walks right up to Pretti and initiates the violence. Then he and his colleagues swarm Pretti, who vanishes below a flurry of punches and kicks while onlookers plead with his attackers."

Commenting on the revelation that DHS knew who Alex Pretti was before federal agents murdered him, that he was tackled by federal agents and had his rib broken days before he was executed, Charles Pierce says,
"At least some of the overripe guys in masks stalking the streets of Minneapolis knew who Pretti was before anything happened last Saturday. (Keep the phrase, malice aforethought, or 'premeditation' in mind.)"

What ICE Did to Alex Pretti Is Somehow Even Worse Than We Thought
The Department of Homeland Security claims there’s no record of the incident, but I bet they’re lying their bureaucratic asses off.Charles P. Pierce (Esquire)
"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.
