Angus: It’s like having to negotiate with Al Capone in his syphilitic period. You want to shut down the bridge? Go ahead. Every day, 1,500 nurses from Canada go to help keep Detroit’s health care system going. I personally think those nurses should be working in Canada.

We just shared the link from NBC about three warehouses being bought to house immigrants, but it now looks like we seriously underreported how many are being purchased. Based on information many of you have shared, the number appears to be over 26.

Trump’s racist Truth Social post is meant to demean us all | Solomon Jones

"Donald Trump engaging in this behavior during Black History Month is no accident," writes Columnist Solomon Jones. "His childish attempt to taint the legacy of America’s most accomplished Black couple is about more than insulting the Obamas. It is meant to demean all of us."

Yes they should.

Red hats sweeping the U.S. as resistance knitters embrace 'melt the ICE' pattern If the marching resistance to U.S. President Donald Trump's first term had a colour, it was probably pussy-hat pink. But knitted protest headwear has a new look in 2026, thanks to the popularity of a ...

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story.

An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

Cause some pretti good trouble.

Nurses are pissed.

This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

In the aftermath of the Minnesota shootings, many Americans have come to the same uneasy conclusion that we scientists reached long ago: you cannot believe anything this government says.

Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption: On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti

Absolutely heartbreaking

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

National Nurses United outraged by murder of VA registered nurse by immigration agents, demand abolition of ICE NNU issued the following statement in response to the murder of Alex Pretti, RN: “The nation’s nurses, who make it their mission to care for and save human lives, are horrified and outraged that immig...

We're horrified & outraged: Immigration agents have once again committed cold-blooded murder of a public observer who posed no threat to them.

This time, they've executed a fellow nurse, Alex Pretti. We demand justice and accountability. Abolish ICE, now! https://bit.ly/4big77u

nursesonja • 7h & Threads Let us not forget, it was the same administration that reduced us to wearing trash bags as protective gear while we watched the hospital go up in flames around us during the pandemic that just murdered one of our own on the streets in broad daylight. As a nurse & as a person, I will never forgive. I will never forget. I will never back down. This was never about border control. This is about total control. O240 Q5 G34 → 21

The nurses are pissed

@corporate.comcast.com Preserve the good faith you say you seek with people, especially here in the Delaware Valley where me and my family have been customers for more than 30 years and END YOUR CONTRACTS WITH ICE. NOW.

Melt the ICE Hat Pattern In the 1940’s, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal...

I had heard of this pattern earlier, but only just now found it off Rav. I have some Diablo from @lolabeanyarnco.com that would probably work perfectly

Nurses' union alleges illegal firings, union busting amid their biggest strike in NYC history The largest nurse strike in city history continues, with nearly 15,000 nurses striking after no agreement was reached ahead of deadline.

Almost 15,000 New York City nurses go on strike. "Staffing levels are a top issue for striking nurses. The union says nurses are dealing with unmanageable workloads. Nurses also want improved security in hospitals, better pay, and fully-funded benefits." abc7ny.com/post/nyc-nur...

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
