We salute these VA workers for honoring #AlexPretti.
As they say, "We are healthcare workers for veterans. We know what heroes look like."

May his memory be a blessing.
He was an ICU nurse who helped veterans and Stephen Miller is calling him a domestic terrorist
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

These evil clowns either had their guns drawn during a takedown or deliberately took them out to use on a restrained man. Both violate police procedures with every damn state and federal law enforcement agency.
ICE goons are untrained killers. Full stop.

MAGA: you have no right to terminate a pregnancy because that’s murder and there’s a “right to life”. But once that baby is born, parents have the right to kill their child because “freedom of choice”.

Kidnapping kids as bait. Hard to get much lower.
This story gets worse and worse.
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

If you’re a grown ass man in full tactical gear asking a child to show you ID or proof of citizenship you failed at life. Utterly & completely failed. Loser.

Trump is garbage.
The woman shouting "shame!" was the wife of Renee Nicole Good who had just watched her being murdered by an ICE agent. That reaction was remarkably mild.
Trump on Renee Good: "When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming 'Shame. Shame Shame Shame.' So loud. Like a professional opera singer. She was so loud. And so professional. She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, 'Oh my heart is injured.' She was a professional."

A constant stream of populist-sounding ideas can be a fog machine. Behind it, the hard levers—tax cuts, tariffs, enforcement—shift income from workers to the well-off.
What he says sounds populist, but he never follows through. What he does is takes from the poor and gives to the rich.
