The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

These people already have my voter roll. They are already operating with impunity. When is it too late?

And now they are blaming the governor for not turning over voter rolls. Speaking as a citizen who has always voted blue, and lives in a state that freely turned over our information, there is no reason to do what they are doing.
Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.

I think I will be leaving #teaching this year. I cannot fix a broken system, and I refuse to contribute to it. I feel like that only leaves me one choice. Hopefully I can move into museum or curriculum writing. Good luck #Texas students. You will need it more than I can explain.

*Cries in Texan. Early voting is happening right now. Yes on Prop A and no on everything else! They have been in control since ‘94. If they wanted to fix it they could, and would.

This is a good point
one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump
As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

Off to serve jury duty. Just a reminder that we aren’t above the law. And no one else should be.

This is what 32 desks look like in a classroom that can genuinely fit them. I am one of the lucky ones as my class sizes are capped due to lab space. Just thought a visual would be helpful when we say this is too much for quality instruction. #Teach #Texas #Chemistry

I can't imagine being a safe white person in the US right now quietly watching everyone get arrested, abducted, disappeared, and killed.
We should never have to explain what white supremacy is after this moment.

The federal government is actively at war against the civilian population of Chicago
Suddenly: tremendous amount of gas and pepper balls fill the road. People running, canisters exploding.

Trying to figure out my seating charts. When you have 30+ kids per class and 10 of them have ADHD. They ALL have preferred seating. I can’t seat them next to each other. This will be the third seating chart. We’ve been in school a month. I fear parent conferences are next. CLASS SIZE MATTERS! #Teach

I don’t get to be proud that often. But as proud of my Texas reps matching energy this is the actual point. Our reps shouldn’t have to leave the state to stop gerrymandering.
Instead of writing about Democrats who have arrest warrants because they refused to take part in rigging an election, the media should be writing about Texas trying to rig an election.
