Tonight, folks on our block in Saint Paul held a candlelight vigil for Alex Pretti, who was murdered by federal agents this morning. We had about 50 neighbors step out of their homes for a few minutes to pray, sing, and just be in community with each other.

This is who they murdered today.
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

When they detain white people, they just rough them up and release them.
When they detain black and brown people, they disappear them.
At what point will they cross the threshold into ethnic cleansing or genocide?

Match recap The contest began with Al-Ettifaq asserting their authority early as Nasser Al-Haleel opened the scoring in the 27th minute.

Today marks the 38th birthday of Fernando Paixão da Silva, better known as Fernando Bob. While his stint in Saint Paul was brief—lasting only a few months during the 2018 season — Fernando Bob remains one of the most high-profile Brazilian veterans to have featured in the Loons' midfield. His arrival was seen as a major coup at the time, bringing a decade of top-flight experience from the Brazilian Série A to a squad that was still finding its identity in Major League Soccer.

Tyler Miller holds firm for Bolton in goalless draw against Northampton
Bolton Wanderers opened their 2026 home campaign with a frustrating 0–0 draw against Northampton Town on Sunday afternoon. Despite dominating possession and registering 17 shots, the Whites were unable to find a breakthrough against a disciplined "low block" orchestrated by former Bolton star and current Northampton boss Kevin Nolan. Match recap The first half was defined by Bolton’s territorial dominance but a lack of clinical finishing.
