Lindsay and Craig Foreman - #UKcitizens held in Iran on trumped up charges. As if that isn't enough, tonight, they & millions of ordinary people are subject to the unthinkable ravings & threatened action of the demented #USPresident#DonaldTrump
🚨BREAKING: Lawrence O'Donnell looked America in the eye tonight and said on live TV what many are thinking about Donald Trump's profane, perverse, filthy outburst on Easter Sunday to commit war crimes.
"The 25th Amendment was written for yesterday at 8:03am."
BREAKING: The family of Alex Pretti releases a powerful statement about his senseless murder at the hands of Trump's masked fascist goons.
Please share this far and wide...
"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," the family said in a statement provided to CNN.
"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."
It is our responsibility as Americans to get the truth out there. Petti was not attempting to harm anyone. He was swarmed, beaten, and disarmed by vicious federal agents who were looking for someone to hurt. Once they had removed his gun — which he had a legal permit to carry — they executed him in cold blood by firing numerous bullets into him. Then, the Trump administration proceeded to immediately falsely smear him as a "terrorist" who wanted to carry out a mass shooting against law enforcement. They're utterly shameless.
“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti's father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”
Rest in power Alex. The rest of us will carry on the fight.

For Trump to put his name on the Kennedy Center and other federal buildings is not only arrogant and narcissistic, it is illegal.
We must put an end to sitting presidents naming buildings after themselves — and that’s what my bill does.
This is absolutely disgusting. Listen to this Minneapolis pastor talk about how he was assaulted by ICE!
“An ICE agent literally came over to me and said, ‘what did you say?’ I said ‘I am not afraid,’ and they pointed a gun in my face. ICE put handcuffs on my hands and put me in a black SUV and then a few moments later they came back and they said, ‘are you afraid yet,’ and I said, ‘no,’ and then they said it: ‘Well you're white. You wouldn't be fun anyway.’ It was then that I knew that the staging that these ICE raids are really about fear and intimidation.”
According to Politico, Farage is trying to encourage the USA to use trade sanctions against the UK to change our laws.
That’s right.
Farage wants sanctions against the United Kingdom.
Farage, the “patriot”.
Our incredible daughter Liz died in the early hours of this morning. She remained determined to the last. Even yesterday she was still making plans. We are so very proud of the kindness, empathy and courage she has shown in the last year. She was not only a phenomenal photographer, she was the best human, and the most wonderful daughter and big sister we could ever have asked for. No one could have fought harder for life than she did. There is a gaping Liz shaped hole in our lives that I am not sure how we will ever fill. We have so much gratitude to every single one of you, whether you offered to help, or liked or shared posts - you ensured Liz’s last two months were her very best. She flew high until the end.
We have two last favours to ask. Firstly, we would like to ask you to share one of her photos - on your social media, or in real life, however you can. Let’s let her go out with a bang. #LizHatton (photos will follow in a thread but do also feel free to choose your own from @lizhatton_photography on Instagram)
Secondly, if you can we would like you to help us with a mission to raise money to fund research into Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumour. With no charity in the UK or internationally funding into effective treatments are lacking. In 2024 a 15% 5 year survival rate is simply not enough. Together we can change that. Whether you can share, donate or raise funds - please be our village one more time. Let’s make this the last item on her bucket list and make sure other families don’t face a similar fate: https://t.co/iSsJO83LLs
@NiallHarbison Unbelievable change from the frightened little girl she was when you rescued her from utter misery. @NiallHarbison you deserve a special bandana too 💖
