When we were taught the "first they came" poem, I'm pretty sure the intended lesson was somewhere between "don't let other kids be bullied" and "stand up for your principles in general", not "here's what you need to do when your government is corrupted by fascists and starts abducting people."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Favorite sign from the protest today: "Blossom of snow may you bloom and grow" I'm in tears just thinking of it. What's happened to my country? How can a song like that feel apropos?
