Until yesterday, I was unfamiliar w Jacob Moskovitz who plays Brando. Extraordinary. He inhabits the role in a way that constantly suggests a young Brando to your eyes and ears w/o going over the top and becoming a caricature. Absolutely brilliant!

🚨 Episode of The Pitt, two #ICE agents bring a patient into the ER after a raid at her workplace. The show gets a lot right — but it also exposes the same gaps we see in real hospital policies today.

Alex Pretti, 37, was an ICU nurse at the VA. He cared for his neighbors when they were sick and stood up with them against ICE. A healthcare worker who defends his community….. ICE cannot be retrained or reformed. It must be abolished.
Alex Pretti, who is identified as the man fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis on Saturday, was an intensive care nurse dedicated to treating veterans.
