- Reposted by Jeremy KamilThe 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.
- Reposted by Jeremy KamilSo important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.
- Reposted by Jeremy KamilA reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

- Reposted by Jeremy KamilWOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment "I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."
- Reposted by Jeremy KamilPretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.
- Reposted by Jeremy KamilThe NYT clearly states in its reporting that the federal government's version of events is contradicted by videos of the shooting today. Here is @melodyschreiber.com piece on the victim, a VA nurse who worked in the ICU www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

- Reposted by Jeremy KamilSo when authorities say “she tried to run over an officer,” that is not a neutral description. It is a claim of intent that can be used to justify lethal force after the fact. When the state kills first and invents the threat afterward, it is not policing, it is death squad behavior. /end

- Reposted by Jeremy KamilThis is exactly right - if it's already at the stage where Vought is tweeting out the hit, no downside to pushing back. Every climate journalist or science organizer in the country has a job to do tonight. Someone at NSF has to carry this order out, and it can very much be gummed up if not stopped
- Reposted by Jeremy KamilAnother insane move from the Trump regime. One of NCAR's contributions to climate science is the development of the Community Earth System Model (CESM), which is used by researchers worldwide. Here's a simulation of air-sea CO₂ fluxes from CESM.

The similarity to mechanical motors are strong enough we can use terms like stator, rotor, rod & gearing to describe it.
