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.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

I understand partisan framing. What I don’t understand is Republicans — who have every lever of power right now — thinking that people won’t notice when they lose their health insurance or suddenly have $35 copayments despite their being low-income. Many don’t know policy, but they’ll know that.

Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

Just made my first of many donations to the United Farm Workers!
🧵 California’s biggest harvest is about to begin—& it grows 80% of America’s fruit, 60% of its veggies, 90% of its nuts & wine. But the farmworkers who make that possible? They’re planning a strike. Quietly. Strategically. They know exactly when to hit hardest. They’ve worked this land for decades.
