We’re basically accelerating the historic trajectory of England: from center of a global empire to a much-diminished country grappling w/ social & economic fallout from Brexit.

it’s pretty insane to think about how the dumbest most violent pieces of shit in the country have been given the message that they can kill with impunity if they join this one government agency

I trained at the VA. The honor walks are holy. Caring for our veterans is holy. It is not surprising to me in the least that he was on the streets honoring the sacrifices his patients made, doing what he could to preserve the freedoms they fought for. Let his sacrifice not be in vain, nor theirs.

The r/nursing sub is popping off. They are rightly PISSED. This man signed up during the height of Covid to be a VA ICU nurse and died protecting others.

I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.

It is increasingly clear that stripping the Department of Homeland Security down to the studs — ICE, Border Patrol, all of it — is the minimum we must do when we regain power.
But we can’t afford to wait that long to rein in these agencies.

A little shop I follow because it makes Disney-themed stickers & patches just sent a marketing email yesterday promoting pre-order of a new FUCK ICE patch. They’ve lost the suburban Disney moms.

As a Disney Parks nerd, I follow dozens of Disney influencers on Instagram and a whole lot of them are posting about abolishing ICE. The idea has broken containment.

Especially in moments like this, it is important to find the boundary between being informed and being overwhelmed. Caring for others requires caring for ourselves, too.
Bear witness, and let it spur you to action. But be careful not to drink too much of a poison whose taste you already know.

As we go into a period of 24-48 hours when a lot of people will be stuck inside with plenty of time to sit with their anger, this may be a turning point for US politics.

Bondi is the appointed and confirmed Attorney General. That means the official policy of the US DOJ is to use militarized law enforcement to harass, arrest, kidnap, and kill innocent civilians in an effort to force a state government to comply with federal policy demands.
Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

The rot is their culture and I can see why Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, or other stunted neo-Nazis would feel right at home with ICE. Reform isn't possible for those types.

But ICE? They just assumed they had free reign to walk anywhere in the whole federal complex and let themselves into people's offices. Worst of all, they left garbage and chew spit all over the room for our people to clean up. We ended up no longer allowing use of our space because of it.

Just to add: We had to host ICE agents in a facility I worked in over 10 years ago, and even back then these were the most entitled fucking pricks I've ever encountered. We had the FBI, CBP, and ATF borrow thay space previously, and all were actually gracious and respectful.

They're sick cowards who want to fuck up women, POCs, LGBTQ+, and libs, but they don't want a fair fight. They'll bait someone in, jump them, then beat the shit out of them. But now they're "legit", and can kill someone without getting in trouble, and boy do they want that. This is their game.
