Large protests spread across US cities on Saturday – including Minneapolis, New York City, San Francisco, Boston and Providence, Rhode Island – after 37-year-old Alex Pretti, a registered nurse living in Minneapolis, was shot dead by federal agents.
The wave of demonstrations come just one day after thousands marched through the streets of Minneapolis to protest against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Protesters again braved the extreme cold to speak out against the agency and show support for Pretti and others who have been harmed by the surge of immigration agents who have flooded the city in recent week.
Thousands more rallied in Union Square in New York City, with footage showing demonstrators shouting: “Say it once, say it twice, we will not put up with ICE!”


I mean. Small protests. Spreading is… generous.
It’s gonna be business as usual by Monday.
Yell at me to feel better, but I’ll be right on Monday.
So you gave up, okay, but it’s really no good sportsmanship to demotivate the other players.
What are you doing as an alternative
Spreading bullshit online on a brand new account
56 total comments on a 2+ year old account and you call ME brand new? I call you an alt or a fake account.
Most normal contributors don’t comment nearly as much as you. I’ve left probably 30 comments and 3 posts in 3 years across my (same username, different instance) accounts.
“Trying to get enough downvotes to cum” is my guess, I don’t know why else someone would behave this way
Do you think there will be a midterm election?
WTF kind of point are you trying to make here? Sure, everything is totally fucking normal, that’s why we’re here talking about how normal everything is.
Answer.
I’m emigrating. Fuck those people.
