Wait, what?

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Um? I can’t really make heads or tails of this place.

But I block any followers whose bios are just sexy-boobies-and-booties-ladies, golden retrievers, or some flavor of “live-laugh-love” 🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh man, the leap my heart just took at the idea. None of us elected that guy.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a “massacre.”

How can there be no investigation and review of training and wtf went wrong that 2 agents spooked, completely forgot where Pretti’s hands were, and fired into a dogpile of their coworkers at close range?

A man is dead and they’re not even going to *try* to figure out what they do wrong?

How can there be no investigation when there’s *no understanding* of why the first shot was fired, and by whom?

So he’s helped two murderers flee the scene and leave jurisdiction?

Blood on their hands.

Maybe getting on a list for this, but did you guys see that the small as-manufactured gun they pulled from his back waist holster *is not* the same increased-capacity tricked out white gun weapon shown as “evidence”? Like. They’re playing in our faces.

I have pretzel sticks and cheese and happy kids and the Gestapo are murdering people in the streets and I don't know how to feel so many different things at once.

If you grew up listening to punk, remember not to despair. This is what they were getting us ready for. This is the moment.

If there is a Heaven, Alex Pretti is there 💔

A life well lived, taken too soon.

Common Defense seems to have her video 💔

I am so sorry. He deserved better. We all do.

We see you Minnesota 👏🏽

They’re friends, aren’t they?

Many people said we were exaggerating and called us liars. As we warned (and as many expected) the DOJ has now acknowledged misconduct by the Trump administration and DOGE employees.

Week 63 - The Return Trump escalates conflicts at home and abroad

This week marked renewed escalation by Trump and his regime, both internationally and at home. Nothing feels safe or stable. One pollster found that 71% of Americans said the country feels out of control. Catch up on all you need to know!

Assuming we keep electricity and ovens: cinnamon buns.

Make them yourself if you want the extra fun of the messy wonderful role up!

You cant buy a house because our president is really mad he didn’t get a Nobel peace prize and so he is threatening Greenland.

As the kids say, ¿por que no los dos?

Can’t reform bounty hunters.

Yeah, that was my question: are they getting paid their bounties even on citizens? (catch and release) Because where do you really think that will go…

If you’re talking about actual frozen water, yeah, it’s special.

As a Northerner: I suggest hip checking your door gently to break the seal. And don’t break your door handle forcing it, climb in from the other side.

If it’s really fun, you can roll down your window to your ice window.

Nation over Party. There’s got to be a line in the sand somewhere.

"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." —MLK Jr.

Does he….does he know Norway and Denmark are two different countries?

It’s less bizarre when we remember that he’s extorted millions of dollars in “defamation” charges from much of the media. And criticizing him even mildly will result in a paramilitary occupation of your city.

No, none of that makes it OK.

He’s been a narcissist all along. He’s had disordered speech all along.

The dementia has eclipsed both. Probably evident on the campaign trail (and most ppl voted for him anyway) and *certainly* over winter 25/26.
