“…but I still don’t support abolishing ICE.”
Mayor Frey on Tom Homan saying DHS had "some issues" in Minneapolis: "'Issues' would be certainly the understatement of the century. These are people that should be alive today. Alex and Renee were standing up for their neighbors. Constitutionally protected activity was taking place."

Explaining how people should react in the face of overreach, violence, and fascism while not using you power to prevent any of those abuses is just the fucking Dem/DFL platform now.

CSR is short for cost-sharing reductions, a component of the ACA. The purpose was to allow lower income people to get a plan with affordable out of pocket (OOP) costs for the same price as a less generous plan

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
