How Trump Officials
—Noem, Miller, Patel
—Portrayed Pretti As Violent
Despite Conflicting Evidence
In trying to defend the killing of Alex Pretti on Saturday,
Trump administration officials repeatedly tried to portray him as a violent domestic terrorist
—even an “assassin”
—running counter to emerging video evidence and first-person accounts of the deadly encounter.
The Department of Homeland Security claimed after Pretti’s death he had

How Trump Officials—Noem, Miller, Patel—Portrayed Pretti As Violent Despite Conflicting Evidence
Video footage of Pretti’s killing refutes claims from officials that the protester was attacking law enforcement or “brandishing” his gun.

"The number of women globally who commit violent crimes is very small – in 2021 they were responsible for just 10% of homicides. Indeed, women are far more likely to be victims than perpetrators. But when women do kill, in many cases the victim is a male partner or family member and there is a history of domestic abuse."

Some lovely succinct instructions I heard today if you see ICE: don’t be violent, don’t be silent.

When violent #ICE henchmen are told from the very beginning that they have legal immunity, no matter what crimes they commit, is it any wonder that these shady characters indulge their lust for murder and violence?

I also think it's worth just doing the math here. There aren't enough ICE agents to remove an occupation of more than a couple of facilities. They would have to rely on local police. A lot of police departments have been ordered not to support ICE activities. This means Trump would have to activate the military. If an occupation was peaceful, especially playful like Portland, deployment may not even be possible. Meanwhile, if ICE agents continue to be as violent as they are Governors may be forced to activate the national guard to protect citizens against ICE.
Forcing conflict when Trump is at his weakest, in a way that is non-violent, puts resistance in the best possible position.
At the same time, we are at a strange time of unity. Trump supporters are leaving over Epstein, some are even mad about the deportations, and he's otherwise systematically alienated basically his whole base (except literal Nazis working for ICE).
The AI bubble is, in a lot of ways, a fun house mirror reflection of the 2008 financial crash. The whole economy is held up by loans secured with "compute." Everyone hates this, and Trump's policies have made everything far worse.
#OccupyICE could actually have a lot of momentum and be difficult to stop, especially if folks went to ICE facilities in frog suits and Luigi bloc with banners demanding the release of the Epstein files.
At least, that's my impression from out here.

How climate change can make people more likely to get into violent conflict
Environmental stress systematically activates the psychological vulnerabilities that drive criminal behaviour.

It is pretty clear that ICE/DHS are intentionally trying to elicit a violent, possibly armed, response to these violent acts.
The ICE-gang is desiring this because then el cheato will invoke the insurrection act. That will, in turn, open the gates for the goons to really start breaking heads and for blood to flow in the streets.
My guess is that some ICE goon, somewhere, is going to get shot by a sniper or protester within a month, if not sooner.

On a related note, a reminder of the timeline of 2020:

Things turned chaotic and violent when they brought charges against Chauvin, and the police flipped out and went on a rage-fueled bender of mass tear-gassing the peaceful protests.

When the boy, identified by prosecutors as Timofey K., arrived at his school, located outside Moscow, he went to the bathroom to put on his gear, which he’d branded with neo-Naz…

Something Is Wrong With Russia’s Children
As violence has come to surround Russian youth, many seem to have become more violent themselves.

Collective Punishment Backfires (I wrote this):
"The American People are blowing whistles at armed and armored forces deployed on their streets, peacefully alerting their neighbors that danger is close. The American People are photographing and videoing the un-uniformed, unidentified, masked, violent, reckless for future prosecution."

Collective Punishment Backfires
when school teachers tried it we acted out even more ice is doing many things, including collectively punishing the people of Chicago, and by extension the American People. This has me writing instead of sleeping. Gassing neighborhoods, often near children, schools and hospitals is collective punishment. Discharging their weapons recklessly

Warning for folks in Minneapolis / St. Paul out there active in the community today:
Neighbors have flagged this person as a right-wing agitator, spouting racist and violent BS, out harassing people and cruising for conflict. Eyes out, be aware.
I don't have any further info on their identity, sorry.

Online harassers are using AI tools to create more realistic death threats, posting hyper-realistic AI-generated images and sounds to social media platforms (Tiffany Hsu/New York Times)

A.I. Is Making Death Threats Way More Realistic
Online harassers are generating images and sounds that simulate their victims in violent situations.

It’s lost in the noise now, but I felt very clearly on that first day of real violence in 2020 — and still maintain now — that the Minneapolis Police turned the protests violent to send a signal to the city that charging police with a crime was unacceptable.
“You hurt us? We hurt your city.” That was the message, clear as day. That’s why police instigated and fomented violence. That’s why they stopped firefighters from putting out fires.
Yes, I am still angry.

Trump administration prepares sweeping crackdown on leftist networks
Thursday marks a first deadline,
set this month in a memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi,
for all federal law enforcement agencies to “coordinate delivery”
to the FBI of their intelligence files
on “Antifa” and “Antifa-related” activities.
Bondi has tasked the FBI with using those files to draw up lists of Americans and foreigners to investigate
as part of a campaign directed by …

Five years ago today,
Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the Capitol in a last-ditch effort to cling to power
after losing a free and fair election.
January 6 was not a protest that got out of hand
— it was an attempted coup, carried out in plain sight.

My city is being invaded by outsiders.
They weren’t invited, and they’re not wanted. They don’t share our culture, and they don’t share our values. They took billions of dollars from us. They are violent criminals. They are ruining our community.
I’m talking about ICE.
They should go back where they came from.

It looks like lying about the murder and calling Good a terrorist isn’t really flying with the press or the general public. We all know what we saw, and we Noem is full of BS.
Stay tuned for these greatest hits:
- “The real problem is that there’s video! Everything would be fine now if ICE could have just murdered her in secret.”
- “Of course this is tragic, but we cannot condone the violent response to Good’s killing [instigated by law enforcement, but we’re pretending it’s the public]! Now that there are riots [by law enforcement], we call on protestors [who have remained peaceful] to remain peaceful.”

Training cannot correct for deficiencies resulting from a lack of vetting.
Remember what federal LEOs are normally screened for (CARLA F. BAD):
Character
Associates
Reputation
Loyalty
Ability
Finances
Bias
Alcohol/Addictions
Drugs
ICE is not being vetted against any of these.
Shut it down.

No. We don’t need to “modify ICE training.” We need to close DHS. Dismantle it. It’s an outdated expensive bureaucracy that’s been usurped by violent white supremacists. Shut it down.

Donald Trump is worried that Republicans aren’t as afraid of him as they used to be.
Despite his self-billing as a dealmaker,
the president has only ever had one tool to control his party: fear.
GOP politicians have been afraid of career damage and literal physical harm if they crossed him.
Trump is not above reminding elected officials that he has unhinged followers who are known to be violent.
But as his approval ratings fall and the 2026 midterm elections …

“When you hear her voice, you can’t unhear it,”
says the award-winning Tunisian director Kaouther Ben Hania,
whose new Oscar-shortlisted film,
"The Voice of Hind Rajab", incorporates recordings of Rajab’s emergency calls

Two years ago this month, the world was gripped by a series of shocking recordings of a 6-year-old girl in Gaza pleading for help as she sat trapped in a car riddled with bullets alongside the bodies of her cousins, aunt and uncle, who had just been killed by Israeli forces as the family attempted to flee the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza City. Emergency responders with the Palestine Red Crescent Society attempted to secure safe passage to rescue the child, an elementary school student named …
