Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing
Declaration filed in federal court:
"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."
January 24, 2026 at 18:42 Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the 'hero' term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Right now, Newsom, Pritzker, etc., arenβt fighting to be anything but a candidate you can vote for or against in a future election.
Right now, itβs about getting to future elections.
There goes the First Amendment.
The incumbent president lost the election, tried to overturn the results, his supporters invaded government buildings in the nationβs capitol. A few months later, he was barred from seeking elective office. Prosecutors filed charges and he was sentenced to 27 years in prison.

Reminder that our society does not particularly value or protect teenage girls. Child marriage is legal in 34 states. Just about everyone hates pedophiles, but a lot of people are pretty indifferent to the abuse and exploitation of teenage girls.
Fascist regimes often suppress dissent, limit individual freedoms, and control the media. These types of situations should never fly under the radar. Wake up AmericaβΌοΈ
GOOD TWEET. GOOD MOOD. FIGHT.
Better exposure I suspect

A Friendly Reminder.
How absurd are complaints against the super changes?
Consider if someone's super goes up from $3m to $3,250,000.
So they earned $250,000 in a year.
Oh no! Their balance is over $3m. They now have a tax liability.
How much? $2,884.
That is how much income tax someone pays if they earn... $36,300.
Can't believe millions of Americans are about to lose Medicaid and SNAP benefits because they couldn't vote for the Black lady.
"No" is a complete sentence.
βTrumpβs rhetoric: his obsession with labeling critics, especially Black individuals, as βlow-IQ.β
This pattern is not just a political strategy; itβs a deliberate psychological weapon rooted in Americaβs painful legacy of racialized intelligence narratives.β

Heβs just won the largest Labor majority since WW2, destroyed the leaders of two parties and run a government where there have yet been *zero* scandalsβ¦ so perhaps claims Albo was βweakβ were somewhat fanciful?
I have never seen an #auspol leader covered in so much blood that wasnβt theirs.
Tonight, Australia voted No to ignorance & Yes to Acknowledgement; No to xenophobia & Yes to Welcomes; No to regression & Yes to progress.
Peter Dutton, Jacinta Price, Clive Palmer, Pauline Hanson, the IPA & Advance henceforth have no mandate. Theyβve been thoroughly told NO.
I think a lot of Liberals will be working from home
OMG two fabulous pieces in one day, I am not worthy!
Protests, strikes and boycotts work!
