But, that's what the mob does best! Blackmailing, sueing and killing! She's their girl!

The cruelty is the point. Alex Pretti's parents found out their son was murdered from an AP journalist, and still had not heard from any official as of Saturday night. We still do not know the name of the federal officer who killed him. Cruel sadists. They murdered a "good guy with a gun".

I didn't think she was interested in nursing, that she was interested in paperwork, and perhaps nursing was not really her calling. I of course was reported to my superiors, who did nothing except send me a different student.

My likeability rating went down when a RN student who was formerly in medical malpractice insurance was my trainee in the NICU stepdown. All she was interested in was the writing! After 3 weeks of this, after we had a kiddo crash on us, and we sat down to discuss her failure to act, i told her that

This canโ€™t be repeated enough. Not only wonโ€™t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.

I understand what you're trying to say.My experience is the ANA was created as a companion to the AMA which has always disregarded both nurses and patients,and has been entrenched in perpetuating inequality.When you say "professional", you might forget nurses are also "labor." ANA clashes on that.

There's a video of Mary Turner, NNU President, at the site of Alex Pretti's memorial. She's also a Minneapolis ICU RN. It's gut wrenching, but i haven't seen it on BlueSky yet. Here is NNU's statement.

Alex Pretti, RN. My mistake, please pardon me.

Late by a day for the #BlueskyArtShow. It really is #cold today, and snowy and windy and no one likes it.

Shut it ALL DOWN. No restaurants, no gas, no restrooms, no bed, no food.

You have great points. Like the nurse who got killed yesterday, every person has to decide what they are willing to endure to help others. Perhaps she has already endured enough? She has sacrificed, she has tried, she's gotten further than every other woman politically. Systems are badly broken.

People have to figure it out for themselves. They would imprison her for inciting a peaceful "riot".

It's all too clear we're on our own.
You do not need permission to organize with someone and start a General Strike. You just need to do it. Others will follow. It's the only nonviolent way now.
