Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, 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”
I have no words. Hossam was killed by the Israeli military. He was so brave, so relentless, so dedicated to telling the story of Palestinians in Gaza. Israel labelled him a terrorist & put him on a hit list. We were messaging last night hours before they killed him. He was 24.
I’m genuinely starting to understand why scientists become mad. No one ever listens to them and they’re always right. The only time people choose to listen to them is when they need them to fix their mistakes.
This may be the most important post you read today.
As Trump takes office & pledges mass deportations, below is a shareable film series written *by immigrants for immigrants* on how to safely defend against ICE.

Here is my opening statement at the House of Commons committee hearing today on “protection of freedom of expression”. Anti-Palestinian racism is a freedom of expression issue. Shame on @uOttawaMed and @CMA_Docs.
Our government top to bottom wants to ignore the ramifications of their silent endorsement of the violence and genocide waged on Palestinians, including a hate crime on the stairs of city hall
this is the guy everyone saw burn and melt alive on a hospital bed with an IV attached to him. remember these people are more than just numbers. they had a life, a family, dreams just like us.
More than 41,800 people have been killed in a year of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
The health ministry in Gaza has confirmed the identities of more than 34,000 of them. Here are their names.
