Alex Pretti died as he lived — protecting his neighbors.
Not hiding behind a mask.
Not shooting a man in the back.
Not lying to cover it up.
In a country run by cowards, be like Alex Pretti.

As a quantum scientist I can report that in 17 alternative universes, Steve is indeed at work, and in 3 of those he is actually being productive. In approximately 5 times 10 to the 75th power he is at the pub, while there are 3 times 10^75 universes in which he is up to shenanigans.

The Great Dictator was always one of my favorite movies. Written before the war, it started filming shortly after the invasion of Poland. It represents Chaplin’s attempt to take down Hitler all by himself… The parodies of Hitler’s speeches are hilarious. Sadly very relevant today…

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.
Will we listen to his words today?

Kristi Noem didn’t approve FEMA rescue teams for over 72 hours after the Texas floods, following a rule she imposed that required her personal sign-off on any operation over $100K.
This is inexcusable. She should resign.

Trump wants to rule like a king. And Republicans? They’re helping him—by sneaking dangerous provisions in their megabill.
In America, we have no kings. We have the rule of law.

On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Senator Padilla was driven violently to his knees–as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive–because the administration called his questions “disrespectful”.
This should offend not just the other 99 Senators. It should offend the conscience of this country.
