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."
Breaking my year long hiatus from tweeting to note that Boucher is having one of the most homer announcer games of all time tonight. Disagrees with every call against Philly. Good lord
It’s funny how there’s all this press about how great it is that Mel from the Pitt is a neurodivergent character and the whole time I watched the show I thought that she was the most realistic portrayal of an actual physician
Southside. East Carson St. A woman was taking a dump on the sidewalk, when police arrived she tried to make a run for it and they tackled her near the Colombian Spot.
I guess we learned that it’s not a good idea to run for re-election at the age of 81 and a -20 approval rating. Not really something that we should have had to learn but we sure did learn it.
@seltzermom It feels like a manipulative relationship because you see him string together quality defensive results with a bunch of randos and think “we can do worse, he can change” but then he still fumbles clock/TO management game after game
