You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: documentcloud.org/documents/…

wtf. Started with him trying to protect someone from getting sprayed in the face at point blank range. For that, masked agents escalated the situation and eventually executed him. Shit.

Organizers just confirmed that 50,000+ Minnesotans showed up to march today.
50,000 people. On one of the coldest days in the last decade.
Minnesotans couldn’t be more clear: ICE out now.

Good morning to everyone except for the @Meta executives who were aware that millions of adult strangers were contacting minors on its sites, knew Instagram was letting adult strangers connect with teenagers, aggressively targeted young users, & then "lied to Congress" about it!

What a front page. Our state and local newspapers are going to save our democracy. THIS is how it’s done. Bravo, Winston-Salem Journal

Yesterday, @Meta shut down CrowdTangle, a digital tool vital in monitoring content shared on its platform. In the midst of global wars, a critical election season, and the troubling effects of social media on our children, I strongly condemn this move.

Walz’s personal experience with IVF is also HUGE asset, especially since Dobbs put IVF on the chopping block.
Having a *man* talk compellingly about his personal experience with reproductive freedom from a place of joy, not sadness, will be big

The reality is that we can’t let the platforms grade their own homework. That's why I have been working with @SenBillCassidy, @JohnCornyn, & @RepLoriTrahan on the Platform Accountability & Transparency Act to ensure platforms are required to be transparent.coons.senate.gov/news/press-…
Yesterday @SenBillCassidy and I, along with 15 of our colleagues from both chambers of Congress, sent a bipartisan letter to @Meta urging it to continue access to CrowdTangle, an important tool for understanding how social media platforms are affecting us in various ways.

Meta allowed its platforms to host a massive network of sextortion scammers and only took action when journalists began exposing their failures.
Remember, this is the same company that laid off trust & safety workers to cut costs 🧵 1/3
