If this is the shit ICE is willing to do in public while the world watches, imagine what those fuckers do when there aren’t any cameras.

Rest in Peace Alex Jeffrey Pretti🙏🏾 The VA ICU Nurses send him off right 💔

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Completely understand. I know there are very bad things happening in the world and nearer to home, but, in the years left, I want to concentrate on and enjoy that which gives me pleasure and some hope. Have done politics.

Agree 100%!

Yes, always amazed by this one!

Similar to what I do...

I watched it, that actually makes it much worse. He never should have been in front of the SUV. We are trained do not get in front of a vehicle like that, there’s only bad outcomes. Also, his video clearly shows she was not surreptitiously reaching for any objects within the vehicles drivers compartment, so the only defense for the agent would be that she was trying to run him over, which clearly isn’t the case, as emphasized by the fact that his legs were out of the way. The video also shows the SUV was moving so slowly that even in icy conditions he should’ve just moved out of the way. In the department of justice we are prohibited from using deadly force purely to prevent escape. Bad shoot all around

I've got most of these CDs, collected individually. You will love them, an amazing musician!

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Wonderful!

Anything with the name Johnny Mains on it can be totally recommended!

Indeed, today, Mozart's clarinet/piano/viola trio, Tchaikovsky Souvenir de Florence (sextet version), Nutcracker suite 2 piano version by Argerich and Economou and some John Tavener inc The Whale on the Apple label. Trying to listen to as many of his works as possible.

If the world has learned anything, it’s that anyone who gets the FIFA peace prize should be arrested immediately.

Love this melancholy piece.

Happy New Year and thanks for your posts. Appreciated!

Has she been on the Christmas sherry?

I agree, there should be a Papal Bull excommunicating those who perpetrate this Evil.

Beautiful!

Great to have you back.
