Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

And I don’t think any of the democrats in charge of the party are up to the job. They value brunch with republicans and podcast opportunities with tech billionaires and their centrist lobbyists more.
One of the things I keep thinking about is how it won’t just be the job of the next president to rebuild everything broken, but the one after that, and the one after that.
Whole generations will be living through the aftermath of this bullshit.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.

Reporters, if you wrote about learning loss due to covid school closures, you can write about learning loss due to state terror.
I am not being snarky. I need my colleagues who wrote on covid school lockdowns to engage with this. To be as loud as they have been about prior "learning loss." Hell, you can cite Tom & Mark's AERJ paper so you feel better that there's some econ somewhere in your argument.
"In St. Paul, at least one-fourth of students from Spanish-speaking homes have missed every day of school since Dec. 12."

It seems to me Congress should hold off on funding elaborate conspiracies to violate the Constitution.
🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

A few simple steps would make everyone healthier:
Clean air in public spaces.
Paid time off.
Free respirators for anyone who needs them.
Mandatory masking in healthcare.
Our rush back to “normal” has ensured a never ending cycle of sickness, death & disability.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
