Hot fucking take:
Forcing birth just to dump a baby into adoption is way more unethical than having an abortion.

I'm sorry, I cannot take these people seriously. You were okay with all the degrading statements, the rape, the fraud, defunding people's healthcare, cutting SNAP, sending ICE to terrorize civilians, attempting to overthrow an election, and inciting an insurrection on top of a bunch of other atrocities. You saw all of that and still decided that was who actually cared about democracy and protecting American values? All of that you could ignore or defend, but now you're drawing the line?

BREAKING: A letter from Alex Pretti’s Final Nursing Student:

“I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal.

Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera.

It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well.

Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.

I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need.

Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity.

Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.”

“What about the illegal immi—“ I DON’T CARE!!! I DON’T CARE!! MY IRISH ANCESTORS SNUCK ONTO A BOAT TO COME OVER HERE “ILLEGALLY” DURING THE POTATO FAMINE!!! I COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT SOMEONE BEING HERE “ILLEGALLY” WHEN WE’RE *ALL* ON STOLEN LAND!!!!!!

[jj ¹⁴ ₈₁ ⁵¹ 🍉 🐝 @lesbiansegedi]

“What do you think should be done about illegal immigration then?” I do not care. I do not care if people are so-called illegal immigrants. If they want to be here, they should be welcome. If they commit crimes, they should go through the justice system just like everyone else.

A single ICU Nurse is worth more to society than every ICE Agent put together.

i don't think protests against the government need to be peaceful when the government is violent

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

When I was a kid, I didn’t picture my life being surrounded by THIS MANY stupid grown-ups

It’s fucking exhausting

[Kia 🧸ྀི @xevekiah]

THINGS I DONT DEBATE WITH MEN :

1. Abortion
2. Breastfeeding
3. Menstruation
4. Female body hair
5. Birth Control
6. Access to feminine hygiene products

Why? Because NONE of those involve the male body & therefore don't create any valid MALE OPINIONS

[Katie @KayTeeeOh]

“You’re a weirdo if you end friendships over politics” was always the lamest fucking take I’ve ever heard. Your politics are a reflection of your values and god forbid I only want people with actual morals in my life

Fuck ICE and fuck everyone who isn’t disgusted with what’s been going on

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a licensed nurse.
He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.

And they executed him.
