@Npars01 Thank you for these valuable links.

"Poster brain and authoritarianism reinforce each other: They thrive on conspiracy theories, lack all restraint, and jump to extreme solutions. ...But the thing about bubbles is that sooner or later they burst."~ Don Moynihan#Trump #ICE #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #murder #execution #authoritarianism #lies #disinformation #InformationBubbles /1https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/2026/02/donald-trump-clicktatorship/685862/

“The murder of Renee Good and the murder of Alex Pretti broke through in a way that few, if any, other stories of the Trump era have broken through. They broke through the information bubbles and were disseminated – whether it’s Reddit or websites devoted to rock climbing – and people were talking about it."~Charlie Sykes quoted by David Smith#Trump #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #ICE #murder #execution #media #resistance #iphone #video #lies #misinformation /1https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/31/trump-facts-ice-lies-alex-pretti-killing

"We saw after Renee Good's murder in the Twin Cities, that was one inflection point. I mean, 82% of the public saw that murder, saw the video of that murder.And you can't watch that, and you can't read the note from Renee Good's wife, Becca Good, and come to any other conclusion that what's happened here is wrong. It's not political."~ Ezra Levin#Trump #TomHoman #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #murder #execution #ICE #MaskedThugs #Minnesota /1https://ourmoralmoment.substack.com/p/when-love-confronts-a-regime

"The thing that really, really bothered me is so much of the traditional media buying this idea of a Trump pivot or a softening or a drawdown hook, line and sinker. And I find that just so upsetting because how many times have we seen this before?"~ David Nir#Trump #TomHoman #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #murder #execution #ICE #MaskedThugs #Minnesota #media #normalization #sanewashing /1https://www.publicnotice.co/p/the-pretti-murder-and-its-fallout

Not so true crime. #grickledoodle #muppets #murder #crime #cartoon #art #drawing #funny #horror

@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.

"But as Adam Klasfeld of All Rise News posted, 'Nothing in this carefully worded statement by DHS denies the crux of the reporting that Bovino was demoted to his previous job, lost social media access, will leave Minnesota and may retire soon.'”#AlexPretti #Trump #GregBovino #Minneapolis #murder #execution #CBP #lies /8

"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.
