I grew up with Alex Pretti
The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

These daily posts on US politics and law by @hcrichardson.bsky.social are essential reading and invariably excellent, and her post today is outstanding.

The calm measured prose makes the facts described all the more powerful.

We are lucky to have this contemporaneous chronicle.

If you’re able, please support this verified GoFundMe for Alex Pretti’s family. And if you’re not in a position to donate, sharing it far and wide matters just as much. It’s at $300K and counting.

I will show up for 15 minutes every week whether anyone else shows or not. Experienced activists are welcome as are the new, confused, very young, very old, disabled, timid, socially unskilled, uneducated, and those who are sure they are completely useless.

We'll find your thing.

Starting in February I'm going to start holding "What Can I Do?" virtual meetings at the same time every week (probably Saturday mornings).

Their purpose will be to share ideas of how to get involved in our communities in nonviolent but effective ways to help make things better.

Your yearly reminder to have the biggest most expensive presents come from you, not Santa.

1. You can help your kids help preserve the magic for other kids who didn't get as much.

2. Santa ain't the one who dealt with that jerk at work all year.

Earlier this year I was a guest host for the Historians at the Movies podcast, talking with @jillianforsberg.bsky.social and @elizabethrandersen.bsky.social about The Princess Bride.

It’s a good episode, and I’m gonna listen to it again today and be sad about Rob Reiner.

I'm obliged for the nod.

The "Penrose Effect" seems to be a real thing - hypothesised in the 1930s and re-tested in the last decade or so:

Where you reduce your inpatient psychiatric provision, you'll see a correlated rise within 10yrs in prisons of seriously mentally ill prisoners.
