Since the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal forces, I have heard from Michiganders of all political persuasions — including folks who actively avoid politics.
That's because Michiganders see themselves in what is happening in Minnesota. And it is not just isolated to Minnesota.

For those asking where we go from here: Not voting to fund ICE is a great place for us to start.

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."

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

They did it to Renee Good.
Now they’re doing it to Alex Pretti.
This Administration is trying to assassinate them twice.
First in body, then in character.
We cant do anything about the former.
But we can certainly do something about the latter.
And we do that by simply telling the truth.

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.

Anyone notice that Speaker Johnson subtly dismissed Congress today so that they won't be in session on Friday?
Hmmm, anything big set to happen on Friday that might upset people?

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.
This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.
