I know I’m a broken record at this point but I strongly encourage you to be uncomfortable for a temporary period by deleting tik tok and meta products. You’ll learn how to stay in touch with folks and also learn what folks were merely acquaintances.

They murder a man in cold blood and wait around to watch him die. There is no hell hot enough. Abolish DHS. Impeach, convict, remove. Trials as soon as possible.

He was a nurse.
The Strib has identified him. Alex Pretti. Another 37-year-old executed for standing up for our immigrant neighbors. For shame.

He was peacefully standing in the street observing before ICE agents started pushing him for no reason.
