ICE murdered a nurse today
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Renee Good said she wasn’t mad at ICE, ICE shot her in the head.
Alex Pretti helped a woman who’d just been pepper-sprayed get back up, ICE shot him once in the back and 9 times in his chest.
It’s not hard to figure out who are the good guys — and who are the bad guys who murdered them.

We need to stand with Minneapolis and stand up to this atrocity in every city across this nation.
There is no neutral position.
It's ICE or US.
It's time the American majority wielded our collective power.
Enough of this shit.
May the good people be counted now.

Reminder: If the Supreme Court upholds Trump’s attack on birthright citizenship, some of the ICE officers currently brutalizing Minnesotans may be reassigned to apprehend newborns from the hospital for immediate deportation. Just read the Trump administration’s own memo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

It’s senseless, mindless, abhorrent, chilling.
All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

@patersonjoseph.bsky.social I’ve just finished your incredible novel. I’ve been unable to write creatively for months but *this* has given me my spark back.
What a story. The ending in particular - I may have cried. Powerful stuff. (Oh god I’m gushing, yikes)

BITTERLY disappointed with Labour government thus far.
Welfare/benefits cuts will be more draconian than ye auld Cameron et al governments, so what does that tell you?
On behalf of disabled people and the most vulnerable in our society, I say SHAME ON YOU. SHAME.

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Trump and chums blatant bullying and public humiliation of Zelenskyy was painful.
Absolutely nasty pieces of work. We have toddlers in charge of the States.
