Another beautiful soul is killed by Homeland “Security.” His loved ones are left in agony. Veterans lost someone who helped them get well or at least find comfort in their final days.

I made myself watch the video of Alex Pretti trying to help a woman shoved to the ground by agents just before he was pepper sprayed, manhandled, then executed. Verified bystander videos show an agent removing the gun Pretti was legally licensed to carry before he was killed. He was holding his cellphone, not brandishing the gun as the administration immediately proclaimed after this latest death at the hands of out-of-control hooligans. They leave victims to die, refuse independent investigation, cover up and lie.

Trump, Miller, Noem, Bondi, Homan … this lawless Republican regime is destroying our economy, our rights and the rule of law. Most horrifyingly, they have unleashed the worst among us to kill people exercising their constitutional rights, traumatize little children, rip apart families with legitimate asylum petitions, and mistreat and kill detainees.

Trump rails against Somali immigrants? He’s turning our entire country into Mogadishu.
