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…”
Seems to me, a story that has a flesh-hungry rock-dwelling sea monster, a giant cyclops, a witch who turns humans into pigs and birds, and zombies that rise from the ground, is not much about biology at all.
If you have a second home in New York City worth more than $5M, check your mailbox when you’re back in the five boroughs — because you've got mail.
Today, we sent notification letters to property owners, letting them know that our new pied-à-terre tax is coming soon.
The best city in the world deserves the best parks, libraries, and schools in the world. That's only possible when we all pay our fair share.
let me get this straight…
Elon Musk has complained nonstop about the lack of Greek actors in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey
so his answer to that is to make a new movie and also not cast any Greek people…or any people at all
I saw the odyssey over the weekend and I gotta say, it’s actually pretty easy to enjoy a movie when you’re not worried about stupid shit that doesn’t matter
Christopher Nolan has cancelled all screenings of The Odyssey with movie influencers.
He is only allowing approved critics to see it in advance.
He is waving the surrender flag. They know they have a financial disaster on their hands.
🚨 Zohran Mamdani on why he rejected an 18% salary increase:
"I haven't knocked on anyone's door in NYC and their concern is the Mayor makes too little."
This is totally nuts:
"Trump Media & Technology Group has unveiled a paid-for, licensed data feed that will give banks and trading firms 'the fastest' access to posts from influential Truth Social accounts, such as President Donald Trump’s, whose posts often move global markets.
President Trump’s posts on the platform regularly move markets. High speed access to these could be very valuable to traders and investors." https://t.co/y7rzXBsdfH
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days.
ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
I wish more journalists would point out that Sen. McConnell is essentially on paid sick & medical leave.
The same employment protection he has spent his career blocking other Americans from having.
