This is who ICE murdered. A VA nurse who dedicated his life to helping critically ill veterans.
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

It's time to turn #Europe away from the #USA. We were going through the dark times, when we lost #democracy, #peace and #freedom a century ago. We will loose prosperity, but we will survive. The US American people will get in touch when they've had enough of suffering.
Good bye and good luck. 🙋♂️
