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."
Trump and Republicans want to claim that the No Kings protests are hate rallies because they hate free speech. Every dictator wants to squash free speech.
It's this simple: Trump's government shutdown is being done with purpose and intention to inflict maximum pain against the American people for having the audacity to want affordable healthcare. Trump does not believe working class Americans and senior citizens are deserving.
@Timcast Im GenX and the boomers had pensions, houses and wealth and then pulled up the rug and left everyone else out in the cold. They got theirs and left us with nothing but working till we die.
Oh cool I can do that too.

Trump and the GOP just pulled the plug on every last shred of public media that wasn’t corporate-owned or propaganda-approved.
🍿Nick Fuentes continues to hammer Trump over the Epstein files:
“Really? Fu*k you. You bury the Epstein files and lie to our faces that’s a Democrat hoax…now here's some MLK files. 'Isn't this what you wanted?'. Fu*k you. You're lying to our face...
