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.

when you TELL THE TRUTH about how current American atrocities are an extension of the atrocities that the United States was “founded” on - colonization, slavery
So many people just IMPLODE into nihilism or denial.
The truth is the only platform you can stand on to build anything sustainable

Yesterday my spouse beat BG3 on Honor Mode. I was so proud of him. Today I walk in and he's started a new playthrough (his fifth, I think). And he's got a spreadsheet to keep track of gear.

Most of the Black people in the US still live in the south. Of the counties in the US with majority Black populations, the majority are in the south. When you hear someone talking like this, they are being racist as fuck and telling you to write off Black southerners.
There is no secret vanguard of the revolution awaiting to be activated by the perfect maoist leader, the south is held back by it’s own bigotry and it’ll kill itself to stay that way
