Wouldn't it be delightful if the Nobel committee gave the Peace Prize to the people of Minneapolis, for their impressive show of nonviolent resistance & community support?

Alex Pretti wasn't the first healthcare worker on the front lines against authoritarianism. We have a proud history in public health, from Brazil in the 70s and 80s, to Minneapolis now; we understand how fascists in more ways than one are hazardous to your health. www.thenation.com/article/soci...
Healthcare Workers Must Continue Alex Pretti’s Fight
Pretti was one of us. We have to carry on his struggle.

There are consequences for siding with fascists over your own customers.

Target is one of the regime-friendly corporations that Minnesota organizers want us to turn the heat up on. Contact Target and demand they take action to get ICE out of our communities FOR GOOD: iceoutforgood.org#corporations
Target misses out on Fortune 'most admired' accolade for first time since 2001
It's been a tumultuous year for the Minneapolis retailer.

Hey @leahgreenberg.bsky.social and I are both Carleton grads and this fucking rocks - love to see a college protect its students from the goons instead of cutting deals with the regime.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
