His name was Alex Jeffrey Pretti.
He was 37.
He was an intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.
He loved his dog.
He loved the outdoors and cared deeply about the environment.
He spoke out against injustice.
He was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois.
He was an athlete.
He was a Boy Scout.
He sang in a boys choir.
He was a research scientist.
He was kind.
He was generous.
By all credible reports so far, he represented the very best of America.
Paramilitary federal agents of the Trump regime murdered him in cold blood, in broad daylight, in front of numerous witnesses, in a city where they are broadly unwelcome and where their lawless behavior continues to produce death and injury to the public on a daily basis.
The national operating system, meanwhile, is horribly outdated, riddled with critical bugs, and only nominally maintained by two factions of grossly incompetent vibe coders who mostly can't see and act outside their own narrow partisan allegiances.
Hope is in short supply.
Anger is abundant.
