I believe in telling the stories, learning who we were, who we might have been, what we suffered, what we overcame, who we became. Because at the end of the day, all we have, really, are the stories.

"That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you." "Are you OK?" "Help me! They shot me!’” "I was trying to stop" The last words of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Joan Sebastian Guerrero before they were murdered by ICE

My kids have measles, I lost my job, and a parasite that the CDC no longer monitors has given me explosive diarrhea. But at least now there’s no plaques honoring Black scientists at the Smithsonian.

The Trump administration stopped an investigation into the president's clemency grant to a convicted fraudster. A Catholic priest tied to President Trump pushed for it.

The Dems will almost certainly take the House---Senate still a toss-up, I believe---so if Jeffries is (correctly) viewed as too weak a tea for these times, then who gets the Speakership? My vote would be Adam Smith out of Washington---really smart, experienced, on the right side of the issues.

It was always easy for our military to terrorize citizens as Miller describes. That's not the point. The point is that this is America—not the Third Reich—and OUR MILITARY ISN'T TO BE USED THIS WAY. Anyone who can't understand and accept this was NEVER a fan of America, democracy, or rule of law.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

This is 100% FALSE. Immigration judges do NOT play any role in issuing administrative warrants. They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves. ICE’s own training materials say they can’t be used for a search of a home! Here’s a blank warrant form. Note who signs it.
Shown is a blank sample administrative warrant. The only place for signatures is for an immigration officer. No judge has to sign off on it.

Couldn't agree more about Pluribus. How rare to have a show without a single character I care about. (Reminds me of "Succession" that way.) If you want to watch a terrific series, check out "Down Cemetery Road" on Apple TV. Emma Thompson, Ruth Wilson lead a full cast of great British performers.
