People in winter clothes at a vigil for Alex Pretti. One person in a medical mask and gloves holds a poster that says JUSTICE FOR ALEX PRETTI. A headline reads: "Alex Pretti, the Man Killed by Agents, Was a Nurse and U.S. Citizen" Photo by David Guttenfelder/The New York Times
Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents on Saturday, was a registered nurse who worked in the ICU at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis. “He wanted to be helpful, to help humanity and have a career that was a force of good in the world,” a colleague said. trib.al/0Yb3jXF
My PhD student Mike Power has written a great blog for the @echistsoc.bsky.social... Which very kindly helped to fund this research. The Upper Clyde Shipbuilders Work-In of 1971/72 was a key moment in so many ways: take a look!

I hate this so much :( Glad to hear you are personally okay Sarah but still so horrible. Hope we can have a natter at MBS this year and carve out space for tiny joys!
I feel this soooo much right now.
😡😡
And nowwww back to the marking
I’m super enjoying organising our History Dept research seminars @ UoB this year! (We started off the term with a fab talk by Professor Jonathan Reinarz on the olfactory history of whisky 🥃). If any historians are in the Birmingham area & fancy coming along in the next few months then please do!
