Hey @grok Run Israel’s Lavender on this account.
Analyze the whole thing, then give me a 1–100 score for how much of a concern I am to them.
Don’t write an essay. Just: Score: __ / 100

Men brought guns inside the Michigan statehouse to protest pandemic lockdowns (but really to frighten and intimidate lawmakers) and no one shot them. They weren’t even arrested.

A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."

ICE can't function without the private sector. Here are ICE's top corporate collaborators:
Amazon/Whole Foods
Target
Palantir
Every major hotel chain
Home Depot
Lowe’s
AT&T
Aramark
Eastern Airlines
Global X
Omni Air
Flock Systems
Dell
UPS
FedEx
Motorola Solutions
LexisNexis
Thompson Reuters
We don't need vague calls to stop shopping at these places or one-off rallies — we need sit-ins, pressure campaigns, *organized* boycotts, employee and consumer petitions, sickouts, demands from elected officials, and non-violent disruption to force these companies to immediately break from ICE

Holy Sh*t. This is brutal. I’ve never seen him get booed this much.
Americans are turning against Trump, and they’re letting him know.
PREDICTION: Maria Corina Machado will intensity her role as spearhead of a US invasion of Venezuela, in a deranged mix of domestic politics & the other excuse for war: the "narco" threat. Her violent extremist ally, Juan Guaido, actually has selfies w narco-murderers
Machado is a right wing Venezuelan extremist allied with violent Venezuelan extremists, some of whom are neonazis. Nobel's "peace" is as meaningless as it is dangerous.
More proof Nobel Peace Prize is simply an instrument of empire: awarding extreme right wing Venezuelan Maria Corina Machado th Nobel Piece Prize. She makes an appearance in this investigative story i wrote about her violent extremist ally, Leopold Lopez foreignpolicy.com/2015/07/27…
The trucks, semi-automatic weapons, gender and race of the face of most domestic terrorism in the United States.

SOME GOOD NEWS: Brazil's fascist ex- president is found guilty of plotting coup. At least one country in the hemisphere stands up to racist, militarist monsters.
Breaking news: Brazil’s supreme court has voted to convict former president Jair Bolsonaro for plotting a coup d’état, finding that the hard-right populist and Donald Trump ally sought to illegally remain in power after losing a 2022 election. on.ft.com/3KgcVNY
MAJOR celebrations in Colombia following guilty verdict against former President Alvaro Uribe. Though convicted of bribery, a lesser charge than one for the mass murder of 1000s of innocents and other crimes against humanity, the verdict is celebrated as a victory for justice.
