You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

This is EXACTLY what St. Paul has been warning about all these years.

Was he actually approaching Minnesota as a regime change

A Bridge Too Far ... On Alex Pretti

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Yesterday, we joined tens of thousands to march.

This am, ICE responded with violence.

Alex was an ICU nurse, a union sibling, & an observer who stepped in to help.

This is a union state. We will continue to show up, to watch, to document, and fight

ICE is not welcome here.

Two sides to the story. On one hand there's the DHS story of a domestic terrorist. Then you've got protesters, state and local officials, all the video evidence, and your own eyeballs. It's really hard to say right now.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Dearest KU Jayhawks Men's Basketball team,

I'm begging you to bring me a couple of hours of happiness on this dark, depressing day.

Beat the hell out of the Puddycats in the Octagon of Mild Discomfort. Please? I really need this.

Love and kisses,
Hugh

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.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

ICE is violently assaulting peaceful protestors & entering homes without warrants. They shot an innocent mom in the head & used a 5-year-old as bait.

I voted against funding, but that’s not enough. Abolish and dismantle ICE. If you support this shit, you are sick in the head.

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

Used Tim Kunkel for exactly that. Very fast and affordable.

every time I work on climate adaptation policy i will think of yesterday.

it just rained, but because of our inadequate infrastructure, 19 people were swept away in their cars. five confirmed dead. two are still missing. 65 rescuers put their lives at risk.

7” of rain. 7 lives.

Americans will do anything but use the metric system.

If the world disappears and all that is left of human civilization, somehow, is this microblogging site, I would like the aliens reading this to know that a large number of us thought Cybertrucks were the dumbest shit ever

Man, major props to #kubball and #kufball for pulling through and making this week merely terrible instead a scorched earth wasteland of unending suckitude

Once again

Anyone else have news fatigue this week?
