We MUST act. Reinforce anti-fascist culture, keep the mass movements coming and file legal action as necessary. We cannot stand to have good people being executed to serve a crazed authoritarian.

(11,622 posts)The video is on DU and is graphic.
There were at least three people recording the murder but this angle looks like its from the Lady in Pink.
To be honest, I haven't watched the other videos as one was enough for me.

(32,148 posts)Because I live on a farm and I had a close encounter with a rabid animal here. I killed a large rattlesnake at the barn. It had killed one of my cats. And was HUGE! I have shot into the air to scare coyotes, once. That's it.
I am contemplating other activities. If necessary.
Most don't involve a firearm, however.
Thanks for the discussion. I love you, True.
Please let me know if you're looking for me. Thanks, ❤️pants

(13,280 posts)We will see the same level of violence against US citizens as the government of Iran recently used against its citizens, with estimates of 6,000 dead to more than 30,000 deaths with hundreds of thousands seriously injured. Neither Trump nor Republicans in Congress care how many people they murder in Democratic states.
Is all this deliberate ICE chaos an excuse to cancel the midterm elections? Democratic governors need to start fighting back. Arrest and prosecute ICE agents for murder now.

People are worried about martial law being implemented.
How is this not already the case in Minneapolis?
And not you AOG - but I don't want people giving me sterile dictionary definitions.
For The Record - those of us who were told we were being hysterical, "that's not going to happen", the courts will hold blah blah . . .
We are owed an apology. The Genocide is here now. Where did the Gaza Genocide Protesters go? Too close to home now? Too personally dangerous now?
Thanks for nothing. Glad you sleep well at night while my 16 year old 1/2 Latina, Black, White and Indigenous future member of the D.A.R. carries her passport to school.
I hope you sleep well at night - because she doesn't. Her little brother? Literally looks like Liam.
I hope you're happy.

(25,750 posts)For months now and hes always been dont worry and just yesterday, his tone is definitely different. Hes had a talk with my 24 yo grandson and the two girls are 23 and 20..out n about going to school and working for a better future that Im scared will not be what they want. I think my son has been of the *we live in a red state* comfort zone that has finally been shaken. Im enraged about being fearful for them and for your family in what used to be and is no longer. 🌺

Got his citizenship in 2020. Dual Citizenship - Italy. He grew up around former fascists and children of WW2.
He saw things others didn't about where this was going if Trump won.

(37,708 posts)Got his Green Card the day I was born -73.
Lived in the Bronx from 4 - 13 then the family went home. Zio Nicolo can be found in Pictures with Mussolini. He became a Partisan when the Reich took over. He was a Senator and then Senator for life.
My mom's dad is sprinkled in pictures with Eisenhower at the end of WW2.
Our marriage should be a marker in letting go of the past . . . but it is all coming around again.
Zio Nic was still alive in 2016 and he BEGGED my husband to bring his pretty American wife to Italy where she's safe. He would ensure the rest of my family could come.
We should have listened when he was alive.

(11,622 posts)Some of the topics that Mr. Mouton talks is about defunding ICE, the cowards in the republican party, and the modern day American Gestapo.
And Congressman Moulton is saying the same thing that I've been saying since Renee Good's murder:
Congressman Moulton isn't defending Trump and he says that clearly. And that Trump is all on board with it and that he's easily manipulated being senile.
I'm not defending Trump either but I've suspected this is why we have a Gestapo style street executions happening here in America.

(25,992 posts)were "Are you okay?" to the woman being attacked by ICE whom he was attempting to aid. His nursing instincts kicked in. His sense of humanity took hold. That's something entirely lacking for the jack-booted thugs who surrounded them. They only know violence, harm, evil and will lie until the bitter end.
It's just sickening.

(11,833 posts)This is an iconic photo of Nazi evil. It was only last month, I think, that this murderer was identified
.though everyone there is equally guilty
.that said, we are not there yet
MAGAts would love to go there though.

(25,992 posts)just as so many ReThugs condone physical assaults against Dems in the streets, and now even their deaths in cold blood.
This quote has never seemed so germane:
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak outbecause I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak outbecause I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak outbecause I was not a Jew.
Then they came for meand there was no one left to speak for me."

I live nearly at the Good murder site. I'm about a mile from the Pretti murder site. There are no immigrant murder gangs roaming my streets, none whatsoever. The only murder gangs here are DHS/ICE.
I now wear a t-shirt nearly everywhere that says "Keep The Immigrants. Deport The Racists" in brilliant lettering. Made and sold by immigrants, and I wear my coat open in the coldest temps so it's visible to everyone. Whistle around my neck, even when the shirt is in the wash. (I plan to get a backup.)
I'm a five-foot-tall pudgy elderly white woman in glasses. I'll run into Ice eventually and they can claim they 'feared for their lives' all they want to. Pathetic little losers that they are. I'm not going to be a 'good German'.
