I spin wool into yarn. I have stage 4 cancer. I put on all day videos of birds and wildlife for my cat to watch, but let’s be real—those videos are for me. I love all things fiber arts and I hate the way the world is going these days.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey 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 had 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.

ICE straight up abandoned some cars in Minneapolis, didn’t even lock them. Left everything behind: gear, license plates, IDs, & these crazy docs! Check this thread for more pics & info

Can’t believe ICE would be stupid enough to abandon everything—actually, no, that tracks
