Alex Pretti, the man who was killed by Border Patrol in Minneapolis on Saturday, was seen reading a final salute to a veteran who died in 2024 in a video shared by the service member's son.
Pretti, 37, was an intensive care nurse at a Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Trump's immigration crackdown in his city, family members said. Pretti was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois.
"Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point," Mac Rudolph wrote on social media. "Also my Fathers final words to me was to continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex' sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration."
The Department of Homeland Security said the agent acted in self-defense after attempting to disarm Pretti, but Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said that account was "nonsense" after reviewing videos of the shooting. https://t.co/v1pPRjs9vm
This is a great argument for G5 schools belonging in the playoffs.
It doesn’t mean G5 schools will win every or even most matches in the playoffs, but it does show that culture and coaching are far more important than stars.
It would be a disservice to college football to make the playoffs only for the teams with the most stars.
This is because in 2013 the *definition* of autism was expanded to include Asperger's, CDD, PDD-NOS, and the Autistic Disorder.
Numbers went up because the definition changed to include more variants. And testing and awareness of Autism just got better over time. This is insane.
My children are not on the autism spectrum because I took Tylenol while pregnant. They’re on the autism spectrum because I, a person who will wear only one type of shoe and can’t eat food that is “too potato-y,” had babies with a man who has an encyclopedic knowledge of European aristocracy but a limited ability to process social cues.
