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

So cool to see people standing up to support each other. This is solidarity for Minnesota and whoever the next target is.
I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up

so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

ICE is an enforcement agency. They aren't investigators and they certainly can't investigate their own. No one should ask or care was tiny Hitler thinks
Q: It doesn't seem like he pulled a weapon at any point. So does that account come from the agent? When does it come out?

BOVINO: This situation is evolving. Those facts will come to light. But let's take a look at the gun.

Apparently a medical scientist
The Strib has identified him. Alex Pretti. Another 37-year-old executed for standing up for our immigrant neighbors. For shame.

Dems are the HR of the United States. Not here to help, but here to give you false hope so you don’t form a union.
There is zero excuse anymore. They are literally just not doing this because they like Trump and want to keep him in office.

I blame your parents too Mike
Johnson: I was the product of an unplanned teen pregnancy and a lot of people tried to convince my young parents that they should take care of that problem

I've noticed this too. They are too coherent.
Aside, but I feel like someone else is writing Trump’s posts now. Very noticeable tone shift, imo. Whoever they have doing it now doesn’t really understand the voice

The biggest threat to our businesses, social fabric and general way of life is at it again
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

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

The Leafs ain't making the playoffs. Try to build some draft capital now by trading Carlo, Benoit, Jarnkrok, Roy & Maccelli.
Much harder deals for cap space in the office season - Stolarz and Domi.
Dump Berube
Do all these and we go from being proper fucked to just plain old fucked for next year
well, i enjoyed the three weeks where the Leafs looked competitive, but i think we're back to Liquidate The Team territory again

The Honduran Drug Lord Package
Can’t help but think the snowboarding drug dealer dude decided to turn himself in now because he figures he can pay Trump $10mil for a pardon and walk away scot free.
