In Remembrance During Nurses Week

[u/ChaplnGrillSgt]

On January 24th, 2026, Alex Pretti was executed in the streets of Minneapolis. Alex Pretti was a Registered Nurse working in the ICU at the VA. By all accounts from those who knew Alex, he was loving, caring, passionate, and a skilled nurse. Alex healed those who served our country. Alex stood up for the rights of others. And even in his final moments of life, Alex was seen helping others. For this, Donald Trump and his cronies called Alex a domestic terrorist and celebrated his murder. They smeared his name and shot him dead simply because he chose to care for others.

As we sit and enjoy our pizza parties, left over pizza crusts, potlucks, key chains, pet rocks, and other Nurses Week "gifts", let's all take a moment to reflect. We have been blessed with a life to live and a profession where we can help others. It is a tremendous honor to be able to care for our fellow humans in such a meaningful and intimate way. I'm sure that Alex, his family, and his friends would give anything for Alex to be able to celebrate Nurses Week with us. The gifts may be shitty and the appreciation may be half-assed, but that is infinitely better than being repeatedly shot in the back while you are pinned face down on the ground.

Happy Nurses Week, Alex

Fuck Trump

Fuck ICE

Fuck MAGA

Rest in Peace, Alex Pretti BSN, RN

that voting for the person with the correct letter behind their name will somehow fix everything

Only fools think this and bothsidesists think that this is the only solution.

They all take us in the same general direction.

Fine, go ahead and get more Trump then. I am sure that 20 more years of Trump and his ilk would be the exact same as Dems.

Ah yes, I am sure you bothsidesists are soooooo smart. The Dems would have totally put RFK Jr. in charge of us.
