"Right now, all the focus is on competing videos of conflicts involving Alex Pretti and his murderers.
But the bulk of kidnapping that proves this is a paramilitary occupation remains disappeared."

Yeshidagna is part of a coalition of student groups that organized the #Minnesota shutdown last Friday, in which thousands of people flooded the streets in sub-zero temperatures & hundreds of businesses shut their doors to demand #justice for #ReneeGood, who was shot by an #ICE agent while trying to protect a neighbor. Last weekend, agents killed #AlexPretti, another resident who was observing agents’ activities.

Those deaths include #ReneeGood & #AlexPretti in #Minneapolis, #KeithPorter in #LosAngeles, & #SilverioVillegasGonzález in #Illinois. Friday’s #national #protest leaders, many of them students at the University of #Minnesota, are calling for #ICE to leave the city after its nearly month-long operation. They say economic pressure through work stoppages & consumer boycotts is just one way to demand #accountability & #reform.

"But here we have a logic by which those with the power need special protections, some special rights to evade accountability for actions that seem to flow so freely from their untrammeled power itself. It’s a logic simultaneously seductive and perverse."
"The people with all the power need to be insulated from the effects of wielding that kind of power. It’s a whole framework of anti-accountability that has infiltrated our civic discourse. ...
With great power comes great responsibility. This is usually considered a truism."
"Masks have become the central symbol of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement wilding sprees across America in 2025. They are emblems of a secret police. Their gaiters and balaclavas convey menace. ...
ICE masking and the need for billionaire anonymity certainly aren’t the same argument. But I don’t think I’m far out on a limb in thinking that they share a common DNA."

"So what? Every police officer in every city I cited above is required to wear his or her badge that displays their name and identifying number at all times."
"Let’s call Trump’s rampaging federal agents what they are: Secret police. ...
What is the reason for the anonymity of these men? We are told they must be anonymous because they might be 'doxed.' That means, if someone learns their name, their home address and other identifying information could be published, and they could – allegedly – be subject to harassment."
~ Lucian K. Truscott
"The logic of the killings is as important as the killings themselves. While a truth in itself, the moral horror is also a sign of the administration’s lies and lawlessness, a political logic known from 20th-century Soviet and Nazi totalitarian regimes and from attempts to replace the rule of law with personal tyranny."

"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."

"The logic of MAGA, especially as it is being aided along by its media ecosystem and by leading figures like Stephen Miller and JD Vance, is racial authoritarianism. It is white supremacy. But the murders of Pretti and Good should be a stark warning that whiteness ceases to offer protection as soon as a person opposes this regime and its program of racial terror."
