- Unless people stand together, they will be victimized together. -Prof. Cornell William Brooks, Harvard Professor and former NAACP President
- BREAKING The Kennedy Center to be closed for 2 years—AFTER artists refuse to tap dance while kneeling for autocracy. Thanks to the artists, shame on the autocrats. Outrageous. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...

- If true, calling into question a Jewish US Attorney’s commitment to serve because of his commitment to faith is classic #antisemitism . This is ALSO the disqualification & delegitimization by difference strategy used to perpetuate racism, sexism, & other isms. SMH www.nytimes.com/2026/01/31/u...

- 2026 SLAVE PATROL GAMES FOR CHILDREN Beginning in 1701, slave patrols, with 16 yr old boys, were formed to catch Black human beings. In 2026, on the Roblox gaming platform, kids role play #ICE agents conducting raids to capture “illegal” Black & Brown human beings. Where are cruelty free toys?
- BREAKING: Don Lemon arrested for being a journalist, & probably for being Black: Politically Vindictive Legally Ridiculous Morally Outrageous www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

- To believe #HolocaustRemembrance Day is merely about the past is to both under estimate the evil of yesterday and the danger of today. #AntiSemitism and its ugly family of isms still stalk the land seeking whom they can devour. #NeverAgainIsNow
- "Title VI of the Act bars discrimination in federally assisted programs. On December 10, 2025, the Justice Department announced, without opportunity for advance public notice and comment, that it was eliminating the “disparate impact” test from its Title VI enforcement rules...."

- The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE
- Damn proud of Minnesota.
- In blood in Minnesota In blinking lights in LA Our democracy is crying
- ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.
- RACIALLY PROFILED RIGHT OUT OF A JOB? #ICE racially profiles Hispanics for arrests, compelling Target to racially profile them out of work. How long will it be before other companies refuse to hire Hispanics or non-Hispanic Blacks or anybody “immigrant looking❓” @apnews.com
- America shouldn’t require White people receiving the “Black treatment” to appreciate the Red, White, & Blue is under autocratic attack. The autocrats practiced on the Black & Brown “they” to normalize the assault on the multiracial “us.” We must all accept our shared humanity AND vulnerability.
- “RACE SCIENTISTS” OBSESSED WITH BRAIN & PENIS SIZE MISUSE CHILDREN’S GENETIC DATA www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/u...
- The devil with a pitchfork might not be as cruel as #ICE spraying burn chemicals directly into a protester’s eyes—WHILE restrained on the ground.
- As I said when I visited ICE facilities and met with communities across New Jersey this week: I will not vote for another dollar for this out-of-control Department of Homeland Security and ICE.
- Alex pretti was a Va nurse and a dog owner
- TREAT MINNESOTA LIKE GREENLAND IF Trump can back down on Greenland, why can’t he back off Minnesota❓ Americans are ACTUALLY being killed HERE.
- BELIEVE Believe what Black folks been saying about injustice. Believe what your bills are saying about the economy. Believe, protest, & vote.
- Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)
- Kyle Rittenhouse did so, killed 2 people, wounded 1 person, & is ALIVE. The fact that #AlexPretti is a dead villainized victim and Kyle Rittenhouse is an alive vigilante hero makes clear the 2nd Amendment is often treated as a right only for those on the right.

- Enough: The NAACP Legal Defense Fund calls to abolish ICE and the DHS infrastructure that enables its wanton, lawless abuse. This follows our earlier letter demanding sweeping cuts to DHS policing, intelligence, and other harmful programs. See LDF's statement here: www.naacpldf.org/press-releas...
- See our letter calling on Congress to defund numerous Department of Homeland Security programs and practices: www.naacpldf.org/wp-content/u...
- CONCLUSION, PENDING INVESTIGATION Unjustified, unlawful, & immoral homicide…
- How can teargas be good for any 70 year old man OR for any American of any age with a modicum of constitutional rights?
- Alex Pretti was already restrained when federal agents shot and killed him in Minneapolis, a New York Times analysis of video shows. The footage contradicts the Department of Homeland Security’s account of the shooting.
- I have never seen a case where state law enforcement had to file a lawsuit to obtain evidence of a police shooting within its jurisdiction. Until now. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
- BLOOD CHILLING Wrap you head around a federal judge finding it necessary to issue a TRO against the DOJ, ICE, & this administration to keep them from destroying evidence of a homicide. That should chill the blood of Americans & remind us this administration has put our constitutional rights on ice.

- This autocracy is wielding unlawful policing & unlawful immigration enforcement like a doubled edged knife at the throat of our democracy.
- Racism disproportionately and massively multiplies state violence over generations. That said, we under describe and under diagnose the evil, if we fail to see that White people can & will die when they oppose that evil.
- BREAKING: Pam Bondi has sent a letter to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz demanding, in part, that state officials turn over voter records to the Justice Department.
- BREAKING: A federal judge in Minnesota has blocked the Trump admin from "destroying or altering evidence" related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti.
