The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.
Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

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.

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

The Ravens have now lost 8 games since the 2021 season in which they, at one point, had a win probability of at least 90%.
That's three more than the next closest team.

The trump administration tried to erase Jackie Robinson.
In response, the Los Angeles Dodgers visited trump at the White House, laughed in appreciation of his mangled speech (especially Kershaw) and gave him a jersey.
Tonight the Dodgers will say they are honoring Jackie Robinson.

aside: a stunning comment from David Baker, UW professor who won the Nobel Prize in 2024. Now 15 lab members are looking for positions overseas.
“There’s so many amazing people who want to come in, & we can’t take them. The Nobel Prize was just a little blip. But things have gotten quite bleak.”

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?
