picture of Alex Pretti
Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.
This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis.

Sadiq by Brian Turner It should make you shake and sweat, nightmare you, strand you in a desert of irrevocable desolation, the consequences seared into the vein, no matter what adrenaline feeds the muscle its courage, no matter what god shines down on you, no matter what crackling pain and anger you carry in your fists, my friend, it should break your heart to kill.
…it should break your heart to kill.

Thank you for your interest in joining my group / having my work published in your special issue / asking me to do some unpaid service / inviting me to spend my money to travel to some far away conference. We are at capacity right now and not accepting any more requests.

Spent a few days in Santa Fe, NM, at the LANL-Purdue AI/ML workshop. Always love being in New Mexico as I can throw in a few quick hikes.
RIP. One of my all time favs.
Apropos of nothing, my dog Nebula.

I long for the good old days of a few years ago when this insane sentence would not have existed
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"
Sometimes, very occasionally, things are good!

Beautiful scenes from Lafayette, Indiana- absolutely massive protest against the fascist republicans, against ICE, against transphobia, against attacks on science, against funding war and genocide. No kings, no tyrants.
