Wait weren’t you grandstanding like a few months earlier about importance of innocence until proven guilty, and that was your rationale for donating to the ice officer who killed Renee Good? Are you suggesting this deep core principle of yours is only applicable in certain circumstances - ie white collar crimes and state sanctioned murder?
A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"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."
@chamath Isn’t Sergey Brin’s entire net worth basically $Goog equity, ie unrealized cap gains? That he gifts or borrows against… so he is probably paying zero state income tax….
@Jason Totally - can’t believe Mamdani is smiling. What a jerk. He thinks he’s trying to help those in need and got elected by his constituents to do so, but he didn’t even check with tech investors on the right way to do it.
