Don't Noem and Miller know there are videos? This is baiting the American public. This is an assault on the public

Noem:

"This individual... committed an act of domestic terrorism."

Alex Pretti was not a domestic terrorist. He was a nurse. And ICE officers murdered him, without any possible legal justification for doing so. The video evidence irrefutably demonstrates that.

7. darn it - I stopped to look up the year and ya beat me to it. i'd laugh if it wasn't such a sad topic. n/t

3. she's not looking as smug as usual and no fake cowboy hat either nt

[mr715]

9. I noticed this too and the big FEMA backdrop

Let's remember she runs an agency that is so supposed to coordinate a lot of things. Now, a giant storm. Plus god-knows-what with the Coast Guard and Hegseth/Rubio's imperial adventures.

Maybe her boss is getting tired of her getting all the spotlight and him having to clean up after her.

I'd love to see her get cut loose. She and Nikki Haley can form a book club. You know, one where they burn books.

5. She does, Trump does not.

He will be convinced what he sees on TV news is fake.

In any other administration, heads would roll. Like -- entire agencies dismantled. And that is exactly what we should do when we win Congress and the Presidency.

I can think of few people I hate more than Noem. She is so utterly cruel and inhuman, and so vain. I'd be nice to see her get her due.

[vapor2]

25. Hegsbreath ties with her in my book

especially when he wasted time and money to summon every general to his shit show

[Bettie]

6. She really doesn't seem to be

very smart....so, no, she probably figures that she can lie and no one will ever know, because she's so very clever and beloved...in her own head.

8. They don't care. They want to get their false narrative ahead of the actual facts

to plant their lies in the tiny brains of the MAGA cult, who only ever see Fox and right-wing social media.

[FHRRK]

11. This

A local woman posted on Nextdoor about her sadness. It took less than a handful of posts before a MAGAt went off on a tirade. Don’t try to run over ICE, don’t abandon your five year old, don’t point a gun at a federal agent.

I simply stated, please post one image of him pointing a gun at anyone.

Point being they don’t care and in 48 to 72 hours they will all claim he pointed a gun at an officer.

[BlueTsunami2018]

10. They don't care.

Because there is no accountability. They’ll lie about it like the last one and no one will do anything about it. And the cycle will continue until the People decide enough is enough.

I’m sorry but Revolution is the only way out of this.

[applegrove]

13. Peaceful protests are what beat dictators. Violence is never

the answer. MAGA and the Admin want us all to respond with violence.

22. Peaceful protests won't get you anywhere.

Just ask the dude murdered today.

Oh wait.

The only way to remove dictators is to force them out. Hitler, Mussolini come to mind.

[KentuckyWoman]

23. ICE is initiating the violence

I may be misinformed but the murder from today was a protest no where near where ICE was operating. If that is accurate then it looks like ICE went where they knew people were for the soul purpose of starting shit.

Trump pulled the same with BLM protests. He sent the goons in to start the violence.

In such a case, peaceful protest is still the way to go but you can still end up dead.

[sarisataka]

12. See my sig line...

[anneboleyn]

14. Noem also labeled every lawful gun owner with a license to carry, which Alex Pretti had, a "domestic terrorist"

who can be murdered by ice agents no matter what the 2A says about a citizens rights

[JHB]

15. Their words are intended for a specific audience (Trump himself and the MAGA cultists)...

...and those people don't care about facts or video.

[applegrove]

16. Their words are meant to enrage us.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. Of course they know. THEY DON'T CARE.

[Johonny]

18. They dont care. Shutdown the government

No more funding until Noem and Miller are fired. Accountability or bust. Take as long as it takes foe president moron to get the message. If it is 2027, fuck it, no more funding. Shut it all down.

[mzmolly]

19. They know their cult doesn't care about

evidence.

30. Marsha Gessen - Surviving Autocracy - The Power Lie / the Bully Lie; and the tension of reality vs constant lies

Masha Gess from Surviving Autocracy
“The Trumpian lie is different. It is the power lie, or the bully lie. It is the lie of the bigger kid who took your hat and is wearing it—while denying that he took it. There is no defense against this lie because the point of the lie is to assert power, to show “I can say what I want when I want to.” The power lie conjures a different reality and demands that you choose between your experience and the bully’s demands:”

“Are you going to believe your own eyes or the headlines? This is the dilemma of people who live in totalitarian societies. Trusting one’s own perceptions is a lonely lot; believing one’s own eyes and being vocal about it is dangerous. Believing the propaganda—or, rather, accepting the propaganda as one’s reality—carries the promise of a less anxious existence, in harmony with the majority of one’s fellow citizens. The path to peace of mind lies in giving one’s mind over to the regime. Bizarrely, the experience of living in the United States during the Trump presidency reproduces this dilemma. Being an engaged citizen of Trump’s America means living in a constant state of cognitive tension. One cannot put the president and his lies out of one’s mind, because he is the president. Accepting that the president continuously tweets or says things that are not true, are known not to be true, are intended to be heard or read as power lies, and will continue to be broadcast—on Twitter and by the media—after they have been repeatedly disproven means accepting a constant challenge to fact-based reality. In effect, it means that the two realities—Trumpian and fact-based—come to exist side by side, on equal ground. The tension is draining. The need to pay constant attention to the lies is exhausting, and it is compounded by the feeling of helplessness in the face of the ridiculous and repeated lies.”

21. She's a prime candidate for...

The Clockwork Orange treatment.

Just sayin'.

[vapor2]

24. No one holds them accountable for their lies/actions

[surfered]

26. They have proved we cannot trust anything they say!

They are lying liar! Just like their boss. In fact, the ability to lie shamelessly is why Trump picked them

[sop]

27. A new video debunking their lies becomes public every few minutes, yet they doggedly persist in repeating them.

Like this video which appears to show the agents realizing Pretti's gun wasn't on the body as they had hoped:

ICE asks "Where's the gun?" - not realizing one of them had already taken it away before the shots were fired.

28. Hope one day we could revok their citizenship & send them off to Russia.

[Chemical Bill]

29. The local Sinclair station gave us the Noem story instead of the facts.

Who needs Fox News anymore?

[GoodRaisin]

31. Hey magats, there's your "gun rights" for you.

Miller said the silent part out loud. You are a “domestic terrorist” if his Murder Force catches you carrying your gun.
