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.

He yells, “I’m a corrections officer”, but ICE didn’t give a sh*t.
MAINE: 7 ICE agents against one “squeaky clean” corrections recruit.
The sheriff said, “They all took off leaving his car with the windows down, the lights on, unsecured and unoccupied. Folks, that’s bush league policing.”

I wrote something for Politico about the real issue with Greg Bovino's overcoat. IMO, it isn't about whether the overcoat is tied to any particular regime, but about how immigration enforcement has become increasingly warlike in terms of strategy, discourse, and dress. 🧵

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.

A hideous, unbelievable insult to our allies, who suffered a full third of the war dead in Afghanistan. And this from a soulless swine who knows everything about using his bone spurs to stay all the way back, entirely off the front lines.
Every day, he shames the United States as a nation.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

By the way, don't fall for this nonsense. Trump's actions have nothing to do with the Nobel Prize whatsoever. That's a deflection strategy. The real reason is that Putin wants to destroy NATO, which Trump's actions will accomplish.
