Alex Pretti wasn’t a part of “engineered chaos.” He was a nurse who cared about people. An individual. What is “engineered chaos” is what this admin is doing in blue cities to justify invocation of the insurrection act.

The hawk got another starling. While he's devouring his kill, the squirrels are within yards of him, totally oblivious.

The parallels in "Stranger Things" to today's MAGA Party is clear. Vecna chose "vessels" that were easy to manipulate, control, and influence. Foreign influence has captured the Far Right and the Fox propagandists have breached the Hen House. Stranger things, indeed.

How have prices changed in a year? NPR checked 114 items at Walmart
We found the effects of tariffs and extreme weather, relief (finally!) in the egg cooler, plus one case of shrinkflation.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.
The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Trump’s back to threatening 100% tariffs on Canada this morning, wow I can’t imagine why the Canadians now see the Chinese as a more reliable trade partner

Kristi Noem is lying through her teeth, imputing the reputation of a U.S. citizen exercising his right to peacefully protest. She should be brought up on charges.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Just a coincidence that the birds and squirrels disappeared, or does that have something to do with the owl perched near the feeders?

It would appear that Trump is coming for your guns now. Last I checked, it was legal to carry a permitted gun in Minneapolis.

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.
