A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. 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 has 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. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

ICE can't function without the private sector. Here are ICE's top corporate collaborators: Amazon/Whole Foods Target Palantir Every major hotel chain Home Depot Lowe’s AT&T Aramark Eastern Airlines Global X Omni Air Flock Systems Dell UPS FedEx Motorola Solutions LexisNexis Thompson Reuters We don't need vague calls to stop shopping at these places or one-off rallies — we need sit-ins, pressure campaigns, *organized* boycotts, employee and consumer petitions, sickouts, demands from elected officials, and non-violent disruption to force these companies to immediately break from ICE

Holy Sh*t. This is brutal. I’ve never seen him get booed this much. Americans are turning against Trump, and they’re letting him know.

Machado is a right wing Venezuelan extremist allied with violent Venezuelan extremists, some of whom are neonazis. Nobel's "peace" is as meaningless as it is dangerous.

MAJOR celebrations in Colombia following guilty verdict against former President Alvaro Uribe. Though convicted of bribery, a lesser charge than one for the mass murder of 1000s of innocents and other crimes against humanity, the verdict is celebrated as a victory for justice.

#BREAKING: Former Trump Hotel C.O.O. tošŸ”„Erin: "One incident that I think, kind of proves their closeness [Trump & #Epstein] and how much they hung out together--one time, a Monday morning, I came in and the commission was waiting, the inspectors were waiting in my office. Donald and Jeffrey had come into the casino in the wee hours of Sunday morning(1, 1:30am)...they had three women with them, and the commission was waiting for me because they had determined that the women that they brought down were UNDERAGED to be on the casino..."😳

Everyone in America needs to read this FREE—I’ve gifted it below—report from the conservative WALL STREET JOURNAL about Trump and Epstein. Apparently the president has now threatened to sue the WSJ over this 100% accurate report due to how damaging it is. wsj.com/politics/trump-jeffr…
