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.
White. Hot. Rage.
All regime mouthpieces who have lied about the murder of VA nurse Alex Pretti must resign immediately. All DHS officials and agents involved must be prosecuted.
Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.
Gavin Newsom is vowing to stop the proposed billionaire tax in California.
We will vow to stop his candidacy for President.
He is not for the people.

Anyone doubt that they're using Minnesota as a door-to-door, bash-it-down, and swarm-in test run?
Minneapolis itself has a relatively small population.
Bet they are seeing what works and doesn't work before assaulting major metro areas.
This is a ethnic cleansing.
I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.
As a person who does believe capable AI risks are real, it’s frustrating to see the community not exactly behaving responsibly. If you can’t find it in yourself to say or do something about a literal, present, AI harm (Grok being used for abuse) what is the point of you
Organizing in the Bay Area includes rapid response and community patrols, accompanying immigrants to court hearings, helping people with rides, food, and more. Training is available! Latest info is at is.gd/bayareahatesice
Eye witness reports are that after shooting Renee Good, ICE fascists prevented medical aid for up to 15 minutes. Crucial minutes that could have saved her life.
Abolish ICE. End Qualified Immunity. Prosecute ICE fascists who murder people.
Here’s some things that can be done by a party out of power
- file impeachment articles every day in the House
- withhold unanimous consent in the senate and filibuster every nominee
- be everywhere with comms saying this is lawless and impeachable
Minneapolis Public Schools will be closed tomorrow and Friday. 30,000 kids will have to miss two days of school because the federal government has made it too dangerous.
They're not just doing tyranny, they're doing the *exact* things listed in the Declaration of Independence that the colonists accused the king of. It's surreal

List of recently issued FDA warning letters, all from 12/18/2025. For all of them, the Issuing Office is Center for Devices and Radiological Health and the reason for the issuances are "Failure to Register and List/Misbranded." The offending companies are TG Supply LLC d/b/a TransGuy Supply, ShapeShifter Apparel, LLC, GenderBender LLC, Marli Washington Design, LLC, TomboyX, PBC, FLAVNT Streetwear, LLC, Early to Bed, Inc., TOMSCOUT, For Them, Inc., and Philadelphia 7, Inc d/b/a Passional Boutique. The final few companies issued warnings do not appear because the page only lists 10 entries.
It's not just TomboyX, by the way! Trump's FDA has sent these warning letters to 11 companies that sell Binders.

I told you being in a blue state would only delay the inevitable.
Just want to point out how funny/sad it is that the same people who will refuse to refer to a trans woman as "she" have no problem calling ChatGPT "she."
Every time someone from a bigger food city says ‘what’s the big deal about food in SF’ and people get so defensive. I think it’s worth articulating that the severe gentrification has led to changing tastes, yet the cost of living and lack of housing also impacts everything. If service people […]
Surgery tomorrow ♥️🏳️⚧️
Every dollar JK Rowling makes from Harry Potter is going into bankrolling an extortion racket issuing legal threats to organizations across the UK to purge themselves of trans people or face ruinous lawfare.
An option piece from the times newspaper. Originally it said "did women ruin the workplace". Now it says "did having to work ruin the workplace"
I fixed the title
i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is
We can't vote Schumer out until 2028 but we can make him being the senate majority leader a litmus test for 2026 candidates. Every single Dem senate candidate should be forced to go on the record and state they will not vote for him as majority leader.
They couldn’t let us bask in the joy of victory for even 1 week.
All they gave us was 5 days. Couldn’t even get us to a week of being hopeful. All that goodwill and joy and happiness that maybe the Democratic Party really can do something right, all of it tossed in the trash pile. Sigh…
