1. 1 am a 29-year-old resident of the lin Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have lived in Minneapolis since 2024, when I moved to the city to begin my medical residency. I am a licensed pediatrician, and I have been practicing pediatric medicine in the city since I moved here. 2. On January 24, 2026, at approximately 9:00 am CST, I was awoken by the sound of cars honking and whistles blowing. Shortly after I awoke, I heard screaming from outside my window. I saw several ICE agents and civilians yelling at each other. 3. One civilian was standing in front of a parked car on the side of the road. I saw him yelling at the ICE agents, but I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind 4. Suddenly, an ICE agent shoved him to the ground. My view of the altercation was partially obstructed, but after a few seconds, I saw at least four ICE agents point guns at the man. I then saw the agents shoot the man at least six or seven times. 5. Initially, I was stunned. From what I could see from my apartment, there was absolutely no need for any violence, let alone lethal force by multiple officers. I immediately put on my boots and coat, ran outside, and approached ICE agents who were near the victim.

6. The scene was chaotic. Many civilians were screaming and honking. Over the noise, I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to assess the victim. 7. At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. They repeatedly asked me for my physician's license, which I obviously didn't have. But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, and I could tell that the victim was in critical condition. I insisted that the agents let me assess him. Normally, I would not have been so persistent, but as a physician, I felt a professional and moral obligation to help this man, especially since none of the agents were helping him. 8. Finally, one agent agreed to let me assess the victim. He patted me down to "make sure I didn't have a weapon" and then let me approach the victim. 9. As I approached, I saw that the victim was lying on his side and was surrounded by several ICE agents. I was confused as to why the victim was on his side, because that is not standard practice when a victim has been shot. Checking for a pulse and administering CPR is standard practice. Instead of doing either of those things, the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds. 10.1 asked the ICE agents if the victim had a pulse, and they said they did not know. I then asked the agents to make space so I could assess the victim.

11. The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back. I asked the ICE agents to turn the victim from his side to his back. From that position, I saw an additional gunshot wound on the victim's upper left chest and another possible gunshot wound on his neck. 12. I checked for a pulse, but I did not feel one. I immediately began CPR. Shortly after I started compressions, EMS personnel arrived and took over. 13.1 remained at the scene for about five more minutes, but protesters began to gather and the situation seemed to be escalating, so I left and returned to my apartment. 14. When I returned to my apartment, I was extremely distraught. I was sobbing and shaking uncontrollably. Eventually, I called my sister, who lives in a nearby suburb. I called her for comfort and because I did not feel safe in my apartment; I wanted to see if I could stay with her for the day and maybe even a few days. 15.1 also sought advice from a friend who works for the City of Minneapolis. He recommended that I shelter in place because the situation outside my apartment was so dangerous. I was going to follow his advice, but then ICE agents deployed tear gas on the crowd that had gathered below, and the tear gas began seeping into my apartment.

BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Semaglutide is an amazing, life-changing drug that has been bested by another amazing, life-changing drug. And now *that* drug has been bested. What a time to be alive!

So curious about those maintenance arms!

Every race. It’s basically been every race.

Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers.

Just everything.

GFR = glomerular filtration rate = how effective the kidneys are at being kidneys. Increase is good! (And rarely seen in medicine — generally slowing decline is the goal in managing kidney disease, as far as my layperson understanding goes.)

GIP: The gentle & sensitive incretin Less nausea, more insulin sensitivity, and a little less inflammation Part 2 in a series on GIP

This one took a minute! GIP, insulin sensitivity, immune modulation and more! Keep this article in mind when you see the SURPASS CVOT trial data published in about 10 days.

Next topic will be on that trial + how GIP agonism contributes to cardiac and bone health!

Please share if you like it!

I super relate to this and it absolutely does suck. (Even without kids in the mix, phew! Can only imagine!)

I share, too. Been an absolutely game changer for me and I only considered starting it because someone I know was open about it.

Amen. I turned all notifications off for social media a long time ago, and it’s so, so much better. They occupy more than enough of our headspace without injecting themselves into the moments where we wouldn’t have otherwise sought them out.

Great breakdown, thanks!

Same here. Happy with the results. 😊

Came here to recommend the same. Spendy, but you get a lot of functionality for the $. Flexible with tons of movement options, minimal space needed, and dead simple to turn into a routine. My husband never thought he’d be into strength training and is now fully addicted, lifting 4x per week 😂

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Decorum for thee and none for me

I saw one last week! Mesmerizing. 😊

My reaction is summed up in her last two words.

Thanks for the info!

Update: BMI now at normal weight, down from Class III obese. I’m running after the pups, trotting up the stairs. Feet, ankles, and knees no longer protest a long day up and about. Feel like a million bucks. 🙌

Yup, I’d be 100% cool with that if the data protections were rock solid.
