The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

I’m genuinely afraid of where we are as a country and the direction we’re continuing to head. I want to show up and set a good example as a father, but I am afraid of the out-of-control right (including some family). #ProDemocracy

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.
So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.
Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The NYC Bar Association says ICE agents wearing masks "appears to be an effort to evade accountability, and to decrease transparency in response to increasing allegations of government overreach, abuse of power, and violations of constitutional rights."

![The New York City Bar Association (the “City Bar”) views with alarm the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) officers’ new practice: wearing masks and otherwise obscuring their identities when conducting detentions and arrests. This abrupt change comes at a time when these government agents’ actions are the subject of widespread scrutiny, numerous legal challenges, and a public outcry from individuals and organizations – including the City Bar[1] – vehemently opposing unlawful detentions and emphasizing the need for due process of law for detainees.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:353gzbhcjbznfxegvayffqek/bafkreifyypbiknw6lcgqwbxxg565dw66qnnqinvjbqwoomevd6xyfg3fhe)

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
