I know nothing about Alex Pretti except what I’ve read today online. He’s a single man who works as a nurse. It would not be surprising to find out he was part of the queer community, just as Renee Good was.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

ICE agents execute a man and use that he has a conceal carry permit as justification. Videos of execution do not show any gun. It's a conceal carry permit! He's legally allowed to have a gun hidden on his body! Will the NRA and gun rights groups defend the gun owner? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing...

You know how we know there are no protesters from outside of Minnesota driving these protests? Who the hell else would be able to organize mass protests in such cold weather. Also, fuck ice.
Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Concerned about what TikTok is doing with their terms of service change? We're building @divine.video based on a series of fundamental rights for users!
With TikTok rolling out new terms today under its U.S. ownership deal, users are still being asked to trust systems they don’t control.
Our founder, @rabble.nz, built diVine with one thing in mind: that social media needs a Bill of Rights.
