Alex Pretti Was a Hero. To These Workers, He Was a Colleague, Too.

/

“Alex Pretti was one of us,” an NIH worker who asked not to be named told me over the phone. That’s a phrase I’ve been hearing a lot since Saturday, when the 37 year-old Veterans Affairs nurse was assaulted and then fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis. The circumstances of the killing—called an execution […]

ICE’s Theater of War

/

ICE Violence Is Fueled by Misogyny and White Nationalism

It is a horrific illustration of what unfettered power […]
