Six months after the killing of her son, Alex Pretti, his mother is sharing a heartbreaking message about the grief she says has only deepened with time.

In an emotional post marking the six-month anniversary of Alex’s death, she writes that no one has been held accountable and says her family has never received an apology or even a single phone call from government officials, hospital personnel, or the Minneapolis Police Department. At the same time, she expressed profound gratitude for the overwhelming support her family has received from people around the world, urging others to continue speaking out and never forget what Alex stood for.

Her full statement:

“Today marks the six-month anniversary of Alex’s murder. No-one has been held accountable, no apologies, not a single phone call from any governmental official, hospital personnel, or the Mpls police dept. Six-months of pain, a roller-coaster of trauma over and over. Every time another a death, another mention, a picture, a tribute, a sorrow so deep. I wonder how to move forward. Will I ever get over this loss and this pain? Will I ever be able to enjoy life again? How does one live knowing that I have no power to change what has happened?

And yet the out-reach not only from Minnesota, but from around the world has been nothing less than spectacular. Every card, every gift, every heartfelt letter has been read, touched, held, and cherished by us all. The kindness you’ve all shown us is beyond words. Please never forget Alex and what he believed in ~ equality and peace for all. I will remember the things that made you, you. It will never take your memory. As long as I’m here, you will never be forgotten.

For all you asking what you can do. Continue this fight. Never give up your right to speak out, protect your neighbor, your community and don’t forget to spend time with those you love…”

Just a tease for Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman as returning as Deadpool and Wolverine. They will have 7 minutes in the opening scene where Deadpool, Wolverine, Cyclops and Magneto will face Spider-Man, Green Goblin, and Doctor Octopus 👀

Enten on the 67 point swing (!!!) against Israel among Americans: "We're not just talking about the Democratic base anymore. The general electorate has turned against Israel. This is not just a left issue. It's an American issue. The trend line is unbelievable."

BBC literally built the greatest sound library on the internet.

It is called BBC Sound Effects, and it gives you access to more than 30,000 recordings from around the world.

Just search any word, and it instantly finds matching sounds.

You can filter them by category, duration, and even the continent where the sound was recorded.

Every sound can be previewed inside your browser, downloaded, or added to the built-in mixer so you can layer multiple recordings together.

And the archive gets insanely specific.

You can find creaking ships, old typewriters, jungle ambience, distant church congregations, and even someone vigorously washing their hands.

There is a good chance a BBC engineer recorded the exact sound you need decades before you were born.

Wow. The SNAP cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill — already estimated at the time to be the biggest in history — are turning out to be far, far, far deeper than expected (no shade at CBO, cost estimates are hard).

We’re witnessing the beginning of a hunger crisis in America.
