Statement from Alex Pretti’s parents, Michael and Susan 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 has 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.”
Statement from the Nobel Foundation
One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.

Vi skal ikke acceptere individualiseringen af store samfundsspørgsmål. Hvis vi gør, vil konsekvensen være, at ingen kan tale om regulering af tech-industrien, fordi alle har en Facebookkonto, ingen kan arbejde for global retfærdighed, fordi alle har en smartphone i hånden #dkpol
Helt absurd @tv2danmark! I afvikler simpelthen en partilederdebat UDEN plads til klima til fordel for udlændinge og skat, som ligger langt nede på vælgernes dagsorden.
Klima er i top på vælgernes dagsorden, over emner som er afgørende for stemmeafgivelsen. Her jeres egen måling
Nu har valgkampen været i gang i en uge, og jeg ved ikke, om det bare er mediernes dækning, men jeg synes, at hver nyhed lyder som det næste afsnit af Klovn - så nu har jeg lavet et bud på den nye sæson:

The best way to see Van Gogh's "Starry Night" is to stare at the center of the spiral for 20 seconds and then look at the painting.

So that was a night of my life I won’t get back. I never really intended to queue up for so long, but hey, you do the first hour and it’s all quite fun, and the second isn’t so bad, because you’re chatting to all the people around you and stuffing your face with sweets. And then
The former Archbishop of Canterbury tells #BBCNewscast that the Queen signalled she didn’t want her funeral to be “an obituary.” He also warns the country is facing “an abyss” this winter because of the cost of living. https://t.co/HlK9XD1mC4
