@JackMexa4 Yes.

@Lana Thank you. I like that perspective.

@datum From my reading of her journal (repeatedly over many years), she'd have commiserated with anyone enduring oppression and unjust treatment.

"Following the killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents over the weekend, the cell phone Pretti was holding moments before his death has disappeared into federal custody."~ Hafiz Rashid#AlexPretti #murder #execution #Trump #DHS /1https://newrepublic.com/post/205748/alex-pretti-phone-minneapolis

@IndyRichard The picture his niece Mary paints of the family dynamics is a picture of a brutal, overbearing father who instilled a sense of worthlessness in his son, and a mother who apparently stood by in silent complicity as this happened.

"Perhaps ICE’s homicidal rage at the Americans who film them represents this same refusal to countenance being seen, being witnessed, being documented doing what they are doing to innocent people. In that sense, perhaps their actions towards observers like Good and Pretti exhibit a sense of shame."~ Moira Donegan#AlexPretti #ReneeGood #murder #execution #CBP #ICE #MaskedThugs #shame /1https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/26/alex-pretti-minneapolis-shooting

@thegaffer Yes.

"Let me be clear: Nurses are not intimidated. And we are not deterred.We stand up for our patients at the bedside, in clinics, in shelters, and in the streets. We will not accept injustice, fear, or silence as the new norm."#AlexPretti #murder #execution #violence #Trump #Minnesota #evil #nurses/3

@Remittancegirl Who's pretendingn that?

"America's CEOs party hours after a nurse is executed. ...While Minneapolis convulsed — while people stood in the cold documenting agents who now move like an occupying force — another America was busy congratulating itself inside the White House at a glossy documentary party for Melania Trump."~ Julie Roginsky#AlexPretti #murder #execution #Trump #Melania #party #gala #EconomicElites #WhiteHouse #GildedAge /1https://saltypolitics.substack.com/p/trading-alex-prettis-blood-for-white

@raptor85 Point taken. I'm married to a Minnesotan whose family and whose part of the state votes solidly Republican and is ardently pro-Trump. When I saw the map G. Elliott Morris generated several days ago Trump's approval rating by counties, I was struck by how much of Minnesota remains green, i.e., in the postive approval range. Even now.I know from interacting with a lot of those folks, too, that they do not intend to change their minds. Even now.https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-very-detailed-map-of-trumps-job-approval?ref=howtoreadthisch.art

@Quasit I see no mention of celebrity figures and sports figures in the except to which you're responding. Parnas does mention them in his posting, but I wouldn't read him to be giving them a lot of credit — just noting that, at long last, people who have been silent up to now are finally finding their tongues.

A.R. Moxon speaks truth to those who want to say, "Well, it's awful that they executed Alex Pretti, but he should have known better than to have that gun with him":"A person I know who is outraged by the state execution and realizes that is exactly what it shared with me his opinion that it was stupid for Pretti to bring the gun."#Trump #AlexPretti #murder #execution #KyleRittenhouse #Minnesota #guns /1https://www.the-reframe.com/the-shovel-next-time/
