jacobwoodre Alex Pretti died a hero. He saw a woman being assaulted by multiple men, knowing full well that these men were armed, emotionally unstable, and supported by immunity from the most powerful entity on earth, the US government, and stepped in to help. He was legally filming Secret State Police assaulting an innocent civilian, and legally carrying a firearm. The Gestapo assaulted him, beat him, disarmed him, and then executed him in the street, with the public watching. ICE and DHS serve no legitimate purpose. Their sole purpose is to act as an extra-judicial, armed force exclusively on the behalf of Trump, an anti-democratic, fascist authoritarian who is using their presence in battleground states to extort those state governments to turn over their voter rolls, in an attempt to rig the '26 and '28 elections. The US government is at war with its own citizens. The people of Minnesota are setting an admirable example of how to properly resist. My hope for the rest of us, myself included, is that we can follow their example when our turn comes... and it will. Long live Silverio Villegas González, Renée Good, Alex Pretti, and the 36 people who've died in ICE or DHS custody since Jan 2025.

He was interfering with ice agents work, you liberals always want to say that they were legally observing and don't forget he was armed, ice is not secret police Mr New York realtor I hoped you showed the same energy when Obama was putting kids in cages
The same folks who spent years saying “if he only didn’t have a gun this wouldn’t have happened” are now focused on due process

jacobwoodre @bosssilverio ran the @themiamimarathon half-marathon this morning... in the sweltering heat! She trained through the snow in Brooklyn too. Hardcore. As always, I'm immensely proud of her and in awe of her bad-assery.

jacobwoodre I'm grateful to be featured as a contributor in @curbed discussing how thoughtful staging can directly impact buyer perception and sale outcomes. In competitive markets, presentation isn’t cosmetic — it’s strategic.
