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.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

And hey, it really does matter to me that some of you are checking in with your Minnesota friends personally/individually. Knowing that there is support is part of fueling the resistance. Thank you. Love you. Stay strong. Fuck ICE.

Minneapolis, Minnesota is under occupation by the United States government. ICE agents are executing U.S. citizens.

That’s the headline.

they executed a guy for filming them

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

Trump’s Gestapo has killed another person in Minneapolis. Impeach Kristi Noem. Stop the funding. Americans have had more than enough.

I love my country of Minneapolis.

Crowd of tons of thousands of demonstrators in downtown Minneapolis

Current rally size of the Ice Out of Minnesota demonstration in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. Organizers are making a path along 4th Street in Downtown.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

I know I'm late on this, but this is infuriating.
1) We need to support indie book publishers and self-publishers who are releasing LGBTQ books.
2) Keep buying ALL the LGBTQ books. Make sure these chicken-shit spineless publishers lose all the money for this decision.

"Journalist" @taylorlorenz.bsky.social is blocking people on Twitter for calling out her AI use (including me lmao) so I'm using my one chance here before she blocks me to call her out for it. Loser behavior, do better, etc. 😘

One of my friends read an ARC of my book and proceeded to dream up fanfic of it in the shower, which is the highest praise anyone could ever give me 🤩

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

A quote on a starry background that reads: "The Chamos Project is an ambitious sci-fi novel with lines that pack punch after emotional punch."

I'm delighted to be able to share my first official author blurb for THE CHAMOS PROJECT! @lindseybyrd.bsky.social

My mom just noted that ICE is rapidly escalating their violence and I said to her what I will say to you which is that they are doubling down because this tactic is all they have. They are wildly unpopular, they have no real plan to offer people, all they can do is try to bully us into submission.

I was puzzled for a moment about why DHS would release the phone footage from the murderer's point of view, since it clearly shows that the murderer was in no danger from the victim.

As I was making my kids breakfast this morning, I was overcome with rage that the man who murdered Renee Good went home to his family last night and her six year old is waking up this morning without a mother.

They murdered her in her car. In broad daylight. In front of her wife.

Get the fuck out of Minneapolis!!

I didn't do an unboxing video, but I did get a present in the mail yesterday! ##writingcommunity

This has been my favorite fantasy series for over a decade! Also I'm selfishly hoping that this doesn't mean the series is over and there will still be more books 🤞

Woke up to the sweetest email from an ARC reader 🤩

Got the proof copies of my book and like. This thing is a brick. I could murder a man with this.
