Alex Pretti was a nurse. His last act on Earth was to try and protect another person he witnessed being assaulted.

He deserves to be remembered as a generous soul who strove to save human lives.

Rest in peace, Alex.

I am so glad Mamdani can’t run for president, and I mean that in the most complimentary way - he’s an excellent, moral, ethical communicator and the fact that he’s literally barred from the presidency means no dipshit columnist can use a presidential run as a lever to twist his message.

Mamdani: "To first take a moment about Mpls. It is horrific what we have seen there. And I think that there are too many Americans who are being asked to not believe their own eyes, not believe their own ears, not believe their own realities." (This interview was conducted before Pretti killing)

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

Like or dislike, former President Obama, his speeches have always been dignified and respectful.

Rather than encourage his subordinates to behave lawfully and to practice restraint and tact, President Trump continues to produce inflammatory rhetoric inspiring violence against American citizens.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I don't know what it's going to take for people to recognize the gravity of the actions taken by President Trump's I.C.E. agency, but this is irrefutably a turning point in our nation's history.

An agent of the state executed an innocent man, in the street, in cold blood.

These are dark times.

They lynched Allen Brooks—and sold postcards of it.

10,000 watched. Kids cheered. No one was charged.

They called it justice.
We call it genocide.
Now they’re banning books so you never find out.

“God is on your side” makes for a clever, feel-good cliché, but it’s not true.

God is on the side of love, peace, justice, and redemption.

If you are on that side, God is right there with you.

If you are not, God beckons you to switch sides.

Pete is such a natural orator. I don't think he has the gift for public speaking that Pres. Obama did (I may be wrong in that) but he is damn good at painting a verbal picture that just makes me agree with him.
He’s so good at this.
I want politics to be about a better everyday life.

Here's what that can look like:

Recently started reading Brom, specifically Lost God's and I am hooked! I'm planning reading Slewfoot next, but I'm looking for other author suggestions as well. Any thoughts??
