I am a cancer survivor with autism.

I am a scientist, a philosopher and psychologist. I work as a software engineer helping schools.

I am also a big nerd. I love comic books, video games and fantasy novels.
Do we really need to call RPGs Eastern or Western? I get why we do but can't they just be RPGs?

Is Final Fantasy 10 really that different than Expedition 33 for example?

Does calling one a western RPG tell you anything more about it or if you'll even enjoy it? I don't think it does anyway.

I wish more people watched C-SPAN. If you want an unbiased view of politics you can watch what your reps are saying or voting for.

If they did, no one would ever vote for a republican. They would also see all the ways Dems fight for them everyday.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social you're useless and need to step down immediately and give your leadership spot to @aoc.bsky.social.

You have done nothing to help the US people and are just going to roll over like you always do.

So people will keep dying instead and nothing will change.

So if you're black or brown it's fine for DHS to racially profile you but it's not ok to use race to determine who can get into a med school?

White people's ignorance is breathtaking. It's as if they don't know what inherent, systemic racism is or why it should end.

I love a good comedy and this post from the White House is hilarious.

I guess the fact that sales taxes disproportionately affect poorer individuals makes no difference?

Rent/home prices are so high bc the property taxes are too. This is basic affordability.

So when people say we need a violent revolution to take back our country from republicans, this is why.

There will be no justice for Alex Pretti or Renee Good and the Gov has full permission to kill any of us without worrying about anything I guess.

2nd time today that Scott Jennings has blamed Alex Pretti for his own death.

He wants to find out what Pretti was doing and not the agents. Scott is so far up Trump's ass he has to continually be told to clean the shit off his ears.
January 28, 2026 at 2:52 AM
Scott Jennings on @cnn.com just blamed Alex Pretti for dying because he was getting into an altercation with ICE.

That's a very Rep/Christian thing to do. Blame the radical left or the cops when they harm a Rep voter.

Why is @cnn.com airing political propaganda about how much Trump has done for housing affordability?

He's done nothing to help anyone buy a home and dropping rates isn't the issue. The issue is that the median beginner home price was 200k 15yrs ago and now it's 400k.

New rates won't change that.

Stephen Moore is a moron. I love watching trump supporters twist themselves in knots to say how well everything is now and if you don't feel that then it's just Biden's fault.

I think they forget about the pandemic and how all the inflation was generated due to Trump's policies from yr 1.

Why don't dems rally outside of the IA convention center where trump is about to speak?

I'd wager most of those people have no idea what's going on in MN and someone needs to be there.

That goes for every red/swing state. You dems in those states need to do so much more than you have.

Why won't Trump and Reps treat Alex Pretti like they did Kirk? Alex was assassinated by a masked individual for expressing his political beliefs.

That sounds almost exactly what happened to the bigoted Kirk and he got a national memorial.

Alex was called a terrorist and his murderer is out free.

Damn, what did MN do to these MFers? They just keep at it.

It's really too bad trans kids don't have the same kind of fighters in congress that the unborn do.

Reps care way too much about what's between a person's legs and not enough about what's between their ears.

Hmm, pretty sure that, if you live in TX and some asshole comes onto your property, you can absolutely shoot them if they don't have a legal reason for being there.

I love how fast Reps turn on 2nd amend advocates when they don't live in a red state.

PA voters need to get rid of Fetterman and stop listening to his lies.

If this had been Philly it would have been such a different response. For politicians like him it only matters when it hits home.

He's a center right Dem that feels emboldened since PA went for Trump.

As a cancer patient, nurses have been my best friends and my heart goes out to Alex Pretti.

I wasn't a vet but I hate dr.s and nurses have always made me feel better.

Sounds like he was a good one and I understand what his patients are going through that I hope Bovino/Noem are proud of themselves.

Why doesn't NATO kick this fool out? He's a Trump sycophant just like any other weak minded moron who meets Trump.

One good thing to come from Trump is knowing exactly who is stupid in our world. Feels like only a moron is taken in by a good sales pitch.

"Patel added that investigators are focused on "mostly scientific evidence," including fingerprints, DNA, how many rounds were fired and other physical evidence associated with the firearm."

THE firearm? Three agents murdered Alex Pretti so who's gun is it? Alex's?

Broncos were robbed by crappy officiating. That was a forward pass and should have been called intentional grounding as it was.

Def the swing moment and the way Denver's Defense was playing they would have stopped them.

Everything changed after that TD but there's always next year.

They said home ownership was a gateway. They said you can't pick your neighbors but they're generally decent.

That's BS. We've been living with a mental patient next door that likes to call my black wife the N word. Every fucking day.

Screams it in fact and calls me a slur for homosexual men.

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
