Childless Cat Lady (& dog rescuer) dumbfounded at MAGA's utter disregard for democracy & willingness to unleash Project 2025.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com
I grew up with Alex Pretti
The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

Does anyone get the feeling they unloaded ten shots to make sure Pretti could never live to tell the tale? Same with Renee Good. The first two shots were non-lethal. It was the third shot into her left temple from the side of the car that killed her, according to the autopsy.
Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.
Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

Absolutely beautiful true moment story about retired Pres. Eisenhower "the farmer next door." So worth reading! Ike puts most modern day presidents once their presidency ends to shame.

Just another scandal she will dismiss thru the use of the Right's VAST propaganda network.
She already knows that a full and complete blanket pardon is coming, so she's just coasting right along.

🚨BREAKING: State election leaders and voting rights advocates across the country are blasting U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for exploiting the killing of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis by a federal immigration officer to “blackmail” Minnesota into handing over access to its unredacted voter rolls.
‘All-out assault on our democracy:’ Bondi’s Minnesota blackmail letter draws righteous fury from state election leaders
“This isn't leadership. This is blackmail," Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said. "This is the way organized crime works."

Wow! CA is such an important region in our country for agriculture. Agriculture also must include thoughtfulness on wild lands/life, farmed animals, water resources, pollution, air safety, chemicals, etc. Senator Schiff's influence will positively impact us all.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
