Yelling at police is not obstructing law enforcement. It is protected First Amendment speech. Carrying a gun is protected by the Second Amendment. Being shot multiple times after having been disarmed and then restrained by multiple officers is an execution.

“We already knew that Pretti was carrying a loaded handgun and two extra loaded magazines when he showed up at an active ICE operation targeting a violent criminal illegal immigrant.

And he brought a loaded gun.

MINNEAPOLIS SIGNAL INFILTRATED
ICE chaser operations go all night. The dispatch call is 24/7. These are messages screenshotted at 2am asking for observers at a location with potential illegals.
It’s from a “vetted” chat called “Wolfpack”
The groups use emojis next to members' names to denote specific roles. You've got mobile patrols driving around searching for federal vehicles. Foot patrols are working the streets. Dispatchers are running constant calls directing people where ICE has been spotted and how best to interfere with their operations. License plate checkers maintain databases of known federal vehicles. Even medics are standing by. They're running shift changes, clocking in and out, just like any organized operation.

AI Overview
“Based on reports surrounding the death of 37-year-old Alex Pretti in Minneapolis in January 2026, the Signal messaging groups used by activists to coordinate anti-ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) activities were described as highly organized and sophisticated.
Key aspects of the sophistication found in these groups included:
Real-Time Tracking and Surveillance: Activists used the encrypted chats to track the movements of federal agents ("ICE abductors") in real time, allowing them to mobilize at specific locations, such as the scene outside a donut shop where Pretti was killed.
Strategic Organization: The network involved dividing the city into districts, assigning specific roles to members, and establishing clear rules of engagement to obstruct federal law enforcement operations.
Propaganda and Rapid Response: The groups utilized short, sensational video clips and emojis as rapid-response weapons for propaganda, enabling them to coordinate efforts quickly.
Operational Discipline: The groups operated with high-level coordination, acting as "self-deputized rapid responders" rather than spontaneous protesters.
Alex Pretti was reported to be an active participant in these, or similar, Minneapolis-based Signal groups aimed at tracking and targeting federal immigration officers.”

Presbyterian Church (USA) Ends 200-Year Mission Legacy Amid Membership Decline
The Presbyterian Church (USA) has closed its mission agency, laying off nearly all missionaries and ending a centuries-old tradition of global gospel outreach. Find out what’s behind the sweeping change.
The Presbyterian Church (USA) has shuttered its international mission arm and terminated 54 of its 60 remaining missionaries, effectively bringing to an end a 200-year-old missionary legacy that sent hundreds of Christian workers across the globe with the gospel.
Late last month, the Presbyterian Mission Agency officially merged with the Office of the General Assembly into a newly formed Interim Unified Agency, leading to the closure of Presbyterian World Mission and the layoff of most remaining mission “co-workers.”
“We’re witnessing the slow dismantling of one of our church’s most defining ministries,” said Karla Ann Koll, a former missionary to Costa Rica who now continues serving there in a seminary role.
Koll’s sentiment has been echoed across PCUSA circles, as both missionaries and regional leaders reflect on what they see as a sobering and regrettable moment in the church’s history.
Mission funding dropped from $16 million in 2000 to $6 million in 2023, paralleling a steady decline in PCUSA membership, according to denominational reports.
“The economics of it were just not sustainable,” said Rev Jay Wilkins, stated clerk of the Presbytery of Sheppards and Lapsley in Alabama. He added that ongoing security and financial risks — especially in areas like the Congo — made maintaining overseas staff increasingly difficult.
Over recent decades, the PCUSA has become increasingly progressive, beginning with the inclusion of openly LGBT clergy in 2011 and the recognition of same-sex marriage in 2015. The denomination has also embraced progressive social justice causes and adopted controversial anti-Israel stances, such as labelling Israel an apartheid state.The denomination has seen its membership drop from 3.1 million in 1983 to 1.09 million in 2023 — a 65% decline — driven by doctrinal compromise, an aging demographic, and congregations opting out to join more biblically faithful denominations.https://dailydeclaration.org.au/2025/04/29/presbyt...SNIP
“In addition to the watering down of the gospel, the Presbyterian Church (USA) is now an open advocate of homosexuality and gay marriage. In 2011 the general assembly began allowing the ordination of homosexual clergy. In 2014, they changed the definition of marriage in the Book of Order from the union of “a man and a woman” to “two people.” In 2015 the denomination conducted a joint ordination of a “married” lesbian couple.
The Presbyterian Church (USA) is committed to ecumenism: at the June 2016 General Assembly in Portland, Oregon, a Muslim offered a prayer to Allah during the opening plenary session. The Presbyterian Church (USA) also takes a liberal stand on abortion, stating that “the considered decision of a woman to terminate a pregnancy can be a morally acceptable, though certainly not the only or required, decision” (from “What We Believe: Abortion Issues,” www.presbyterianmission.org/blog/abortion-issues-2/, accessed 9/1/2016).
Recently, the Presbyterian Church (USA) has seen a decline in membership as hundreds of its churches have left the denomination in protest over the theological and social liberalism overrunning the church. According to the Presbyterian Lay Committee, from 2005 through 2014, the Presbyterian Church (USA) has lost about 700,000 members (www.layman.org/pcusa-continues-membership-decline-92433-members-gone-in-2014/, accessed 9/1/2016).
The world may applaud the Presbyterian Church (USA) for its diversity, progressivism, and open-mindedness. But Christians would do well to remember that we are not here to be applauded by the world. We’re here to be salt and light (Matthew 5:13–16) and “to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people” (Jude 1:3).https://www.gotquestions.org/Presbyterian-Church-U...And WOKE ministers are to blame for the same reason the Presbyterian Church I attended closed its

I like your optimism.
For many years I have pondered the future of humanity, assuming we don't wipe ourselves out. No matter how I think about it, my conclusion is always dystopian. With technology the way it is now, population control is fairly easy. China does it well. People always thought our Constitution would protect us. Even I did. But the realization that someone with enough sycophants in the halls of power could basically burn the Constitution was always in the back of my mind. If no one in power was willing to stop him/her, then there would be no stopping them.
We're seeing that play out now. It may or may not be endgame, but at the minimum it serves as a blueprint for a future populist. Without some major changes to the "guardrails", it's really inevitable. And once we've committed to that road, there will be no going back. The tech will cement the power of whomever takes it. Just like in 1984 (which relied on disinformation and technology), there's no dislodging that order once it is established. And humanity will thereafter live under oppressive authoritarianism.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said: “… I am begging the president, share with us the information you have about this or please stop saying it… As a matter of fact, I’d like you do more than stop saying it, I’d like you to come forward and say, ‘Having looked at it, I am confident the election was fair and accurate and people who voted voted legally.’ Cause if he doesn’t do that, this is going to undermine his ability to govern this country.” He added: “I would urge the president to knock this off; this is the greatest democracy on earth, we’re the leader of the free world, and people are going to start doubting you as a person if you keep making accusations against our electoral system without justification…”
