Q for anyone who works at the VA:
Has the VA secretary or leadership said anything internally addressing the fucking elephant in the room that one of their VA colleagues was just shot to death by a federal agent?
Hearing from one source it's been a cone of silence in there, no comms to staff.

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Finding photos and videos on my phone I didn't know I had, from when I couldn't feel my fingers and just hit "record," when I got to the scene where Pretti was fatally shot.
This was less than an hour after Pretti was shot.
Look how many residents showed up to bear witness, shout, demand ICE GTFO.

The president should be impeached and convicted, as should everyone responsible for these outrages. ICE should be disbanded. So should the Department of Homeland Security. And the people who have killed should be investigated and brought before judges and juries.
We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.
