Photos of Alex Pretti with Sara’s caption: On August 16th at approximately 10:00 pm I received a call from the ICU at the VA saying my Dad had sepsis and needed to be intubated to stay alive so Josh and I headed in. We were greeted by the kindest, most calming and warm soul who helped us understand what was happening and showed deep care for us and my Dad. He continued to show utmost patience and kindness over the next few days as my Dad remained in the ICU and we were there continually. It was Alex Pretti, the man shot today by ICE. If you see this video and don't think it's murder, I don't understand your thinking and ask you to question your heart. He was out there trying to help and protect and from the little we knew of him, it doesn't surprise me he was not afraid to be on the front lines of this horrible scene in our Minneapolis. Weeping for his family and all those at the VA who no longer get to work with him or receive his care.

My friend Sara posted this about the superb care her father received from with Alex Pretti

Absolutely heartbreaking

They Killed a Nurse. They Killed a Poet. Tyranny in uniform. Trauma by design.

He died because he stepped forward instead of away, because he put himself between human beings and monsters who wanted to hurt them, because he did the thing we teach, the thing we praise, the thing we raise our children to believe still matters.

Question for the masses

Can you have a dopamine deficiency without having #ADHD?

All of the ND struggles I have come back to not having enough dopamine. ADHD just doesn't seem to match with what I feel and I test very low. I also score low for autism and again, it doesn't feel right.

This a great aesthetically pleasing arrangement of books

Despite all the bad days and mean people, I still believe in good days and kind people. Plus, there are always dogs.

Just another reminder that Lucanis is Demi/Pan! 🥰

I believe the general internet tradition on these kinds of things is well known.

Are you ok today? I am sending love to you.

This is hard but we are going to get through this together.

Trump is only for now. 💙

It should not be taken lightly that a sitting Member of Congress is advocating for the deportation of an American citizen due to their perceived political beliefs.

This would be a direct violation of the First Amendment.

#booksky can I blacklist #onyxstorm tags to avoid spoilers? I will not get my copy until Jan 29 and I've already managed to avoid spoilers so far and would like to continue to avoid them

Dr. King spread a message of justice and persisted in the face of hatred.
 
His legacy calls us to serve each other and to continue striving towards a more inclusive and united Minnesota.

I cannot believe that our ghetto ass govn't actually worked together to get rid of a fuckin app. Meanwhile, I can die from eating a mixed salad laced with Listeria or a mass shooting on my way to get it. Man, FUCK YALLL

When I logged in and saw everyone talking about Elon doing a "Nazi salute", I figured they were exaggerating.

But I don't know WTF I just saw there. Because it looks very deliberate and I'm struggling to come up with an alternative explanation.

I think there’s a pretty high chance we start to see groups of Trump supporters “ironically” Sieg heiling in public and that at rally’s they all start to do it. We are deep through the looking glass here folks and the sun isn’t even setting on day one.

Christmas reminder,

According to the gospels and Jesus' birth story, you can't follow Christ and be on the side of the rich.

YES IT IS ignore what the toxic fandom is telling you it is AMAZING I can't wait to play it again!!

This is... actually a fairly reasonable takeaway from this year.

@jasonkirk.fyi Ive read some good ones but I'm curious what YOUR Deconstructing Christianity book list is! (Your book is at the top of my list for sure 😊)

The Grinch was a book and a nice cartoon you would see among holiday specials and it was sweet, a message about how Christmas comes from the heart. And now. Grinch merchandise every year to the point of nausea because that was such a great message and this is the licensed hell we live in
