"Respectable white people are now keenly aware that the logical conclusion of a decades' worth of anti-immigrant hatred includes murdering white people and they don't like it. They are shocked to discover that authoritarianism did not stop at the color line."

"Those in the media who choose to treat propaganda as the story, who begin from lies rather than from events, are also complicit. The border is the crack, the lies are the wedge, and the people who accept those lies are opening it wider."

You don’t get much more official than executing a #judicial #warrant. Concealing #evidence after the fact is a separate offense that also fits what is publicly known about both the #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti cases. The resulting #criminal penalties would attach to anyone who conspired in that concealment. This could reach more senior figures in the #Trump admin who acted to hinder #justice by using #lies & #slander to deflect responsibility &—worse—to score political points from the deaths.

"Everywhere we’re seeing signs that ICE, the White House and its virtual army of influencers, agitators and generalized degenerates are losing control of the public narrative surrounding the murder of VA ICU nurse and activist Alex Pretti."

"When you have multiple videos showing ICE agents simply shooting a man to death with no justification whatsoever you need a pretty wild story to equal things out. But that story — that Pretti drew his weapon and was opening fire when federal agents killed him — is going to be just as brittle as it is powerful, liable to snap at any moment."

"The administration has come out and blamed the victim yet again. They have blamed the victim despite the fact that once again as in the shooting of Renee Good. There are many videos proving they are lying.

This is not negotiable."

The following excerpts are from an affidavit made yesterday by an eyewitness to the execution of Alex Pretti, in the case filed in federal court against Kristi Noem and others:

"The agents pulled the man on the ground. I didn't see him touch any of them—he wasn't even turned toward them. It didn't look like he was trying to resist, just trying to help the woman up. I didn't see him with a gun."

"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed."

~ Michael and Susan Pretti

"These Republican authorities murder because they intend to murder, and if you listen to them you'll hear them say as much. They lie about the murders and their intent in order to justify the murder, because they intend to murder some more—much more, as much as they will be permitted.

This means that we're dealing with a massive national gang of lying murderers."

"While agents of the state engage in brazen extrajudicial killings, the highest levels of government lecture us from their microphones that these are law enforcement agents protecting American communities. It does not seem to matter to them that we can see the killings with our own eyes, from multiple angles, in near-real-time."

"We have crossed a terrible threshold. Those of us who have studied and fought authoritarian regimes abroad—from Saddam Hussein’s Iraq to Vladimir Putin’s Russia to Maduro’s Venezuela—know the importance of the fictions they maintain. These regimes always keep their courts, their ceremonial elections, and their heavy leather-bound law books."

"They are lying murderers, so I think we ought to issue natural consequences that attend lying and murder. We should stop trusting them. Every word they say should be taken as a lie. Even occasional truths that come from their mouths should be understood as serving larger lies. Every intention should be presumed malicious."

"Put simply, the Trump administration’s narrative around the killing of Alex Pretti has collapsed. Administration officials were deployed to defend it on television this morning, but even conservative media was openly skeptical."

"This should be all the evidence that lawmakers in a position to deny ICE funding need—indeed to abolish this death squad that commits extra-judicial killings in broad daylight with our tax dollars."
