The depth of his hate for disabled people is and always has been breathtaking. It’s born of an arrogance I’ve rarely seen-he believes that he is some kind of ubermensch, and the only way he could ever become disabled is if some insidious conspiracy did it to him.
Evil, evil man.

One thing about this era I absolutely despise is the Orwellian use of language. Fake News! Hoax! Terrorist!
These fascists do not ever have 1 millisecond of a thought about how they are making things more terrible. No pangs of guilt, no self reflection. It's just their tribe and their enemies.

… Furthermore, according to two other sources with knowledge of the situation, top officials in the Trump White House reminded their federal colleagues in and outside the West Wing that Pretti should be referred to as a “terrorist” in written statements and public messaging, no matter his background

This was Alex Pretti at work at the VA honoring a veteran who had passed.
This is who they're trying to falsely smear as a terrorist and assassin.

Minnesota deserves a better Governor.
Q: Are you willing to use every lever of power including a government shutdown to stop what's happening here?
KLOBUCHAR: Right now we're focused on getting ICE out of the state. Of course we will use every lever, but I do remind people that Trump runs the WH and sadly also seems to run Congress

I keep thinking about how he was a federal employee too. Even that doesn’t stand in the way of the vicious posthumous defamation from Trump admin mouthpieces.
New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

Just a reminder. Even though they are cosplay soldiers dressing up in tactical gear and weapons and camo, they are just regular government employees. They can give 2 weeks notice, cash out their vacation and sick leave and just go.

Where are the resignations from ICE and CBP??? I guarantee you there are at least *some* who know this is wrong but arectaking the path of least resistance (“following orders”). They need to step down and speak up

I have yet to see any of the House Dems who voted against DHS funding condemn their 7 colleagues who voted for it, or call out leadership for failing to whip up a unified front of opposition.

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
