Nenko Stanev Gantchev died in ICE custody in Michigan. He was from Chicago. Lived in the US for decades. He was diabetic and wasn't given any special regards for meals to manage his blood sugar.

His family have gotten no answers.

corporate elites have enabled this regime every step of the way. tepid, vacuous, both-sides shit like this isn't going to cut it.

our @indivisible.org response from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social :
A screenshot of a press statement that reads as follows: Washington, D.C. — Today, Indivisible’s co-executive director Leah Greenberg, released the following statement in response to the open letter from the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce on behalf of over 60 Minnesota-based CEOs (see letter): “Major Minnesota companies absolutely must join together to respond to the violent surge of ICE and CBP agents in the state. They should join the hundreds of businesses who visibly and tangibly locked arms with their community this week to demand ICE get out of Minnesota. Unfortunately, the statement from the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce was the sort of statement we’ve come to expect from corporate elites too worried about offending the wannabe king than what’s happening in their stores, to their customers, and to their staff. These powerful CEOs are essentially sending thoughts and prayers while their community is being terrorized by ICE and Border Patrol. “Business leaders like Target’s CEO Michael Fiddelke have been sent incredibly clear messages from their employees, from clergy, and from members of the Minnesota community begging them to step up. They are failing to meet the moment. If those fat checks you cut to Trump’s inauguration were meant to buy you access, what could possibly be a more urgent use of that access than the terror he is inflicting in our streets? “These companies must stand with the people of Minnesota and publicly echo their demands: Hold the ICE agents responsible for killing civilians accountable. Launch investigations into ICE for all of the rights they have violated in the name of immigration enforcement. No additional federal funding for ICE in Congress. And ICE out of Minnesota – and all of our communities – NOW.”

IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET, MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS YOU ONLY WEAR WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING. DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS. DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING." DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP. TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR, LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME, "WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON." NOT METAPHOR. NOT HYPERBOLE. A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK. PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK. PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED. UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL. UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM. STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM." STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH. YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE LIKE A LULLABY, WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO "HEAL THE LAND" IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND. THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH. THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING. THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM. THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT. AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT. IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE- GOOD. GROWTH ALWAYS IS.

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:
TEXT: I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal. Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera. It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well. Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together. TEXT: I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need. Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity. Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.

The Supreme Court literally just heard oral argument in a case poised to further limit states' ability to enact gun control laws

The GOP's position is 'we need to be able to take guns anywhere, but if you take guns anywhere you can and should be killed on sight'

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

thinking about FDR's fireside chats and the simple appeal of "here is what i am doing and how it is helping you and i am telling you this myself" instead of representation with an attitude of primarily "fuck you, don't talk to me"

and then thinking about martha coakley in 2010, as i often do

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
