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.

I'm a painter. My step sister, Galen Cheney is as well and she did this piece early in her career. In 2024 we moved from a huge house to a smaller house. We had this piece hanging on the wall in the foyer going upstairs near the chandelier but now it rests in the entry way of our new house. For now.

Humanity has veered off the rails
further into the abyss
where there is no justice
or accountability.
The calvary is not
coming to save us,
while we clamor
at a volcano about to erupt.
I'm tired of humanity's
thousands of broken promises,
over thousands of years,
to change its ways.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

This is so scary and so, so wrong. I've been having panic attacks about this type of scenario for weeks. We've got to stop it.
Watch this.
Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

The GOP have so mastered language manipulation that people are just adapting. It's so Orwellian that I'm starting to forget if the proper verbiage is, the "Democrat Party" or the "Democratic Party". How many fingers do you see, Winston? It's as many as the party tells you... We have arrived.
