Alex Pretti: Analysing Footage of Minneapolis CBP Shooting
On January 24, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse at the Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Health Care System, was shot and killed by federal agents on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The shooting comes just over two weeks after Renee Good was shot and killed by a federal agent in the same city.
The United States Department of Homeland Security claimed Pretti was killed after an “armed struggle” with DHS officers and that it seemed he had wanted to “do maximum damage”. Yet video footage shared online, showing shortly before and during the incident, appears to contradict that claim.
Some of the earliest available footage of the encounter was posted to Instagram and shows an agent crossing the street to talk to Pretti who appears to be filming with his phone, which he is holding in his right hand. According to DHS, agents were conducting an immigration arrest in the area.
The agent can be seen placing his hand on Pretti’s torso to push him back and away from the middle of the road towards the sidewalk.
Another video shared on Reddit shows what happened after this initial contact, as well as the lead-up to the shooting. Pretti appears to put himself between two women after they were both shoved by a DHS agent. He is holding a cellphone, held sideways in his right hand.

The murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday morning at the hands of federal agents has put wind in the sails of those trying to rein in the Trump administration at the same time it has sent the administration scrambling to regain its course. Popular outcry over the killing of a beloved ICU nurse for the VA and popular organization over the general violence of federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol have unleashed pent up fury over the actions of the Trump administration. The outpouring has reached as far as spaces like a subreddit devoted to videos of people playing cats like bongos, as Drew Harwell and Scott Nover of the Washington Post noted. The anger has been so overwhelming that it has changed the course of national politics. Pretti’s killing has thrown into doubt the passage of a funding package that includes the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

There Is No Compromise With State Terror
Julie Roginsky
An open letter to every Democratic elected official who still believes there is such a thing as working with a regime that murders with impunity and threatens dissent with the language of terror:
The moment has already passed. You are now governing in arrears.
A man is dead in Minneapolis. Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse and an American citizen, was executed by federal immigration agents operating like an occupying force in an American city. This is not a “tragic accident” and the ICE agents who murdered him are not “law enforcement officers.” They are terrorists. This is the predictable outcome of an agency designed to operate without accountability, armed with military equipment, shielded by impunity, and unleashed for political terror.
While Pretti’s blood was still warm on the pavement, Stephen Miller branded anyone who opposes this administration a domestic terrorist and insurrectionist.https://saltypolitics.substack.com/p/there-is-no-compromise-with-state

Here's what to know.
Federal agents have shot three people in Minneapolis in recent weeks, killing two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Videos contradict the Trump administration's account of their deaths.
-----------------
As the world demonstrated in its rejection of Trump’s threats against Greenland earlier this week, there is only one way to stop Trump. He must face unified, courageous, unwavering resistance. Trump is keen on distracting from the controversial killing of Renee Nicole Good and turning the headlines back to himself, even if they make him look bad, Wolff has said.
This will be hard for some in America’s opposition party who are more inclined to practice the politics of yesterday. They do not understand the different requirements that come with being in the minority in a functioning government and actively having to mobilize to stop the existential threat to their country. The seven Democrats who voted this week to fund DHS clearly fall into this category of misguided non-leaders. So too do some of their colleagues with fancy titles.
But they must see that this is a country in profound crisis. They must recognize that halfway measures, aggrieved speeches, and strongly worded letters are no longer adequate. They must accept that the president of the United States and those close to him are no longer good-faith actors. They must show that the American people will not accept murderers and agents of pain roaming our cities.
In short, the future of this country depends on the fact that more people at every level of our society appreciate, respect, and emulate the courage and resolve of genuine heroes like Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good. We must demonstrate that they did not die in vain by showing we understand why they showed up and stood up when they did. These people died seeking to aid their neighbors and to defend not only their communities, but the idea of an America that is now more at risk than at any time in living memory.

Batsh*t Crazy Psychopath Trump "no longer feels an obligation to think purely of Peace" after Nobel statement
“Dear Jonas,” the president wrote to Norway’s prime minister, Jonas Gahr Støre.
“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a ‘right of ownership’ anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT.”
Even by Trump’s standards, this letter is so delusional and dangerous that there is no longer any question that the president is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,” as laid out in the 25th Amendment to the Constitution.

The Trump doctrine exposes the US as a mafia state
The Venezuela incursion is in line with this logic, made even plainer as the US eyes Greenland
(Guardian) When a bleary-eyed Trump explained the kidnapping of Nicolás Maduro this past Saturday, he invoked the Monroe doctrine: while the US president sounded as if he were reading about it for the first time, historians of course recognized the idea of Washington as a kind of guardian of the western hemisphere. Together with the national security strategy published in December, the move on Venezuela can be understood as advancing a vision for carving up the world into what the Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt called “great spaces”, with each in effect supervised by a great power (meaning, in today’s world, Washington, Moscow and Beijing). But more is happening than a return to such de facto imperialism: Trump’s promise to “run the country” for the sake of US oil companies signals the internationalization of one aspect of his regime – what has rightly been called the logic of the mafia state. That logic is even more obvious in his stated desire to grab Greenland.

Trump Has US Military Invade Venezuela, Kidnap Its Leader, Vows to Run The Country and Take over the Oil Fields, Also Threatens Attacking Columbia, Cuba, and Mexico
WHAT A FUCKING INSANE EVIL LYING PIECE OF SHIT GOP ASSHOLE
AMERICA FIRST, AMIRITE?
NO MORE FOREVER WARS, AMIRITE?
THOSE EPSTEIN FILES MUST BE SO BAD.
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The United States hit Venezuela with a “large-scale strike” early Saturday and said its president, Nicolás Maduro, had been captured and flown out of the country after months of stepped-up pressure by Washington — an extraordinary nighttime operation announced by President Donald Trump on social media hours after the attack.
Multiple explosions rang out and low-flying aircraft swept through Caracas, the capital, as Maduro’s government immediately accused the United States of attacking civilian and military installations. The Venezuelan government called it an “imperialist attack” and urged citizens to take to the streets.
It was not immediately clear who was running the country, and Maduro’s whereabouts were not immediately known. Trump announced the developments on Truth Social shortly after 4:30 a.m. ET. Under Venezuelan law the vice president, Delcy RodrÃguez, would take power. There was no confirmation that had happened, though she did issue a statement after the strike.
“We do not know the whereabouts of President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores,” Rodriguez said. “We demand proof of life.”
