Mountains are a place where you can escape from the world. Hang in there and don't forget to breath.

Its crazy to think some people need no proof to believe a lie. But need all the proof in the world to believe the truth.

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. Weโ€™d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

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.

I just watched the video on the news, where several ICE men execute and beat a man to death. He has a name, a family in sorrow, parents that loved him. Never forget.

I mourn with them ๐Ÿ’” my heart is broken.

Speaking of Jane Goodall, my favorite quote by her:

โ€œYou cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.โ€
