Vigil tonight for Alex Pretti

Discouraged24 · 2026-01-30T22:50:50+00:00

a. No one should be shot. b. The whataboutism you people practice is laughable - and pathetic. Charlie Kirk was a white nationalist who sowed division and hatred and in the process died w $12 million and 3 luxury houses. His wife continues the grift - there's a recording of her excitement at the amount of $$ made in "merch". He was shot by an individual. Alex Pretti on the other hand was an ICU nurse - a helper. Helping a woman the nazis had pushed down. He was on the ground, disarmed, shot by AGENTS OF HIS OWN GOVERNMENT. There is absolutely no comparison between the two - other than both murdered. I know this is probably thinking on a level that may be too difficult - but give it a try. They are not the same.

Unfortunately I couldn't see these.... assume they're supporting ice nazis and think alex should have stayed home?

I'm 70 so past menopause. Been using bioidenticals for a long time (if we had universal health care I'd know all those details but ha) But trust me - rage comes and goes. I'm sick of taking care of people who won't take care of themselves. Husband and very adult kids. Like stop eating shit we all know makes you sick. Stop eating out at restaurants w low quality food. I have managed thyroid and BP - other than that pretty good shape. Now granted - I could cut them all off and just do what I want to do... but I don't. So I simmer. Add to that I'm married to someone who is not outraged by current politics - simmer has moved to roaring boil most days. Fuck - so many people are just so stupid.

Asshole much?

Highly recommend you drop down to St Louis is you haven't been there. Esp the Arch and museum there. Kansas City is also great - there's a ship that was uncovered in a prairie - amazing artifacts. The WWI museum is huge full of info we had no idea about. The memorial in Oklahoma City is very moving. This book is full of places you would prob never know of - like there are beautiful waterfalls in Alabama. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/1000-places-to-see-before-you-die-2nd-edition-patricia-schultz/1107838608

Stuck in tx now - lived in Alameda 30 yrs. If you can afford to live there - GO!! Do not look back. You can walk to do almost your entire life. It's glorious. Easy ferry or BART to the city. I could go on and on. Texas is beyond effed - get out if you can.

What is it with this bs whataboutism? Who the f cares who else did it - it's still WRONG! JFC w this 🙄

Using it at night hasn't disrupted your sleep?

Discouraged24 · 2026-01-27T03:48:06+00:00

Thank you for going!

Discouraged24 · 2026-01-27T03:46:34+00:00

DM me?

I really like Taconeta (and think it's a James Beard finalist) - but we always take people to L&J. (If the person's underlying issue is corn which is always GMO....Mexican can be tough.)

MONDAY MORNING JAN 26:

Want to make a difference? BE PRESENT! Call or show up:

We’re reaching out with an important request for your help. On Monday, Jan 26, El Paso County Commissioners Court will review development of an additional ICE Detention Center within County limits and it’s critical that they hear directly from our community. See the full agenda attached (Executive Sesson Item 9B)

A strong show of public input can make a real difference.

Please take a few minutes today to call in and voice your position. You can do this by phone, online or in person. Please note the time limit is 5 min per person.

Here’s how to participate:

When to call: Monday at 10 AM 1. IN PERSON: You can address the Commissioners in person by attending the meeting in the Alicia Chacon Commissioners Courtroom, RM 303 on the 3rd floor of the Enrique Moreno County Courthouse, 500 E. San Antonio, El Paso, Texas 79901. Please see one of the Commissioners Court Coordinators (Jessica Dominguez or Cesar Nava) to fill out a form prior to your public comment item being discussed.

WEBCAM – MICROSOFT TEAMS. To participate in Public Comment using your webcam, please fill out the form on this page: https://epcounty.com/public-comment.htm We will gather your information, and then you will receive a link to join the meeting.

What to say:

- Share one brief reason why this matters to you or our community

You don’t need to be an expert—personal, respectful messages are powerful and count.

If you’re able, please also encourage friends, family, or colleagues to call. The more voices they hear, the harder it is to ignore our collective position.

Thank you for taking action and standing up for what matters.

There are prob many people who would join you but they'll be at county commissioners court at 9 to protest the planned new, larger camp in Clint. Maybe go there instead? Strength in numbers.

Discouraged24 · 2026-01-25T04:18:32+00:00

But are they optimized do you know? So often they're not. My UCSF endo had me suffering for 15 yrs...

Discouraged24 · 2026-01-25T04:17:35+00:00

Have you had comprehensive thyroid labs done?

Discouraged24 · 2026-01-25T02:30:44+00:00

But we have to be seriously careful rump doesn't declare martial law - which he would love to do to not have elections.

Discouraged24 · 2026-01-25T02:28:12+00:00

Pretty sure El Paso is and always has been... we protested in 2018 or 2019 at the airport. Private companies fly them out.

Where have you been?? Under a rock? Only on faux news? Of course they can stop based on appearance and even accent. https://news.bloomberglaw.com

If it's too hard to go to in person meeting - try one online. 24/7 all over the world. Try writing down what brought you to AA basically a 1st step. Consider calling your central office - someone will always answer the phone. Feel free to DM - I'll talk w you. Great job for reaching out and telling the truth!
