The SAVE America Act is a danger for democracy, but we still have a chance to defeat it in the Senate.

Tell your senators to stop this bill at aclu.org/stop_anti_voter_

Will continue to send $ to the ACLU.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Good Q @SarahKSilvermam

Catherine O’Hara Could Do Anything And she pretty much did everything. The only tragedy is that it feels like she was just beginning to get the recognition her decades-long career always deserved.

For The Ringer, I wrote about how amazing it was that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara finally became a superstar in her 60s, and how sad it is that she was taken from us just when we had all finally begun to appreciate her:

This make you uncomfortable? Good! Because this isn’t history, it’s reality and what ICE has normalized.

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

The co-founder of Latinas for Trump is now condemning Trump’s ICE raids:

“I’m afraid of someone stopping my son.”

“This is not what we voted for.”

Videos say, “Suggested for you,” even when I already follow the creator. I want those to say, “Following,” so I won’t have to click through to see if I already follow.

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

WSJ says ICE is lying.

Read that again…. The Wall Street Journal is calling out the lies

Same.

This is Alex Pretti.

He was so clearly a wonderful human.

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..”

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.

Alex Pretti was an intensive care nurse in the Veterans Administration Health Care system.

“He felt that doing the protesting was a way to express his care for others,” his dad said.

This is Alex Pretti.

This morning he was murdered by ICE. Six ICE agents held him down and shot him at point blank range. Alex was a nurse and researcher at the VA.

Our thoughts are with his loved ones and we stand united in action calling for the abolishment of ICE.

#ScientistsAgainstICE

It is so sad that there are millions of people who can't afford health care this year because republicans would rather give money to their billionaire buddies tax cuts & a huge payout to those in the Deportation Industrial Complex
