Minneapolis Responds to the Murder of Alex Pretti On Saturday, January 24, an ICE agent murdered Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. In response, people drove ICE and Minneapolis police out of the neighborhood.

In response to ICE agents murdering Alex Pretti, the Whittier neighborhood immediately rose up and battled ICE, Minnesota police, and Minnesota State Troopers for over four hours, eventually forcing them to withdraw from the area.

An eyewitness account.

THEY'RE MURDERING THE HELPERS

AOC: "An ICE officer had violently pushed a woman to the ground and he had come over to help get her up and that is what precipitated this incident that very quickly led to an execution in the streets. What we are seeing here is a momentous pivotal moment for the United States."

We want to set the record so he is remembered for what he did. Alex put his body between a woman and imminent danger (murderous thugs(ICE)), and he lost his life.

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.

As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

John Greenleaf Whittier (December 17, 1807 - September 7, 1892) was an American Quaker poet and advocate of the abolition of slavery in the United States. Frequently listed as one of the fireside poets, he was influenced by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Whittier is remembered particularly for his anti-slavery writings, as well as his 1866 book Snow-Bound. John Greenleaf Whittier en.wikipedia.org

This is who the Whittier neighborhood in Minneapolis is named for

Veterans they killed one of our nurses.

VA workers they killed one of our coworkers.

I’m enraged. Seething, white hot rage and I’m not sure that I’m coming back from this. You should also be enraged. This is not ok…not normal

This account is going dark. I think it’s time for battle.

“I’m not mad at you.”
“Are you okay?”

These are the final words of the Minnesotans murdered by ICE in the past two weeks.

Please reflect on their kindness, humanity, and grace in the days and weeks and months to come. These people were the best of us.

So, hypothetically, if you were to make a solo-cup-in-chain-link-fence message over an overpass, you’d be putting in the letters backwards. And, again hypothetically, you might want a template for that.

Hypothetically.

What's happening in Minnesota is one reason the Reconstruction Amendments banned insurrectionists from holding office. Unfortunately, the originalists on the Supreme Court interpreted the plain language of the amendment to mean its opposite.

His name was Alex Pretti and he was A VA nurse. My name is TJ Soles and I work for the VA (nurse adjacent). He wasn’t afraid of ICE or Trump and neither am I. Fuck you ICE.

It has been confirmed that Alex was a lawful gun owner and did not threaten ICE with a weapon. Early video reports indicate the weapon was taken by ICE and shots were then fired to execute him.

JD Vance is in Minneapolis talking about how the administration is going to protect religion and religious peoples.

Literally just now, 100 faith Christian faith leaders were arrested for protesting ICE. Same city.

Here's the group organizing this

Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

If you end up making it at home, I would love to know!

Repost your posts. Brag about your accomplishments. Get yourself treats. Be weird as fuck. Above all, do all these things for those you love too. Life is too short to try not to take up the space you need

Crème brûlée is my favorite dessert. I am so jealous.
