Snow-crete day 6. 14 degrees F outside. This idiot connects with his inner dwarf chipping away with his mattock at the five inches of compacted snow and two inches of iced sleet/freezing rain to clear his gravel driveway so he can turn his car around.

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving. - @timdickinson.bsky.social‬ #PDX #Pretti #PortlandOR #PortlandOregon #VA

Perfect representation of the US grift

(Posting in my personal capacity.) Please unless truly necessary don’t venture out on suburban roads yet. It took A LOT of effort & good #samaritans shoveling in freezing temperatures, to help a couple get their vehicle out of the mix of ice & #snow in northern #VA. Monitor local authorities’ advice and be safe!

“This man that MAGA is slandering tonight spent his life in service to veterans who are at the end of their lives. He served as an #ER #nurse at the #VA hospital.

"Today we remember that #freedom is not free. We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even #sacrifice for it."- Alex Jeffrey #Pretti”

His words also apply to #Gaza, where people also have the right to live their lives in peace
