This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital. The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message: “RIP Alex Pretti, he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”

Drop Site obtained harrowing footage of the latest killing which appears to be from the perspective of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

It’s been a really hard few months to live in Minnesota. ICE is sitting at the park next to my house that I take my kids to. We’ve had the state senators murdered, kids murdered at school and a protestor killed in the street. All within a 15-20 minute drive from one another. This is the best place in America that I’ve found to raise a family. The people are incredible. The schools are great. It’s clean, affordable and has so much to offer. There seems to be an external effort to change that. But I can tell everyone in our community is hurting right now and it’s a really desperate feeling. Feels like there’s nothing we can do. Not asking for anyone to give their political opinion to me. Sometimes it just feels good to write these things out and put it out there.
