And another declaration from a medical doctor who was on scene and attempted to treat the man who was shot. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan 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 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”

Perhaps the loudest I’ve ever heard the Indiana fight song. #iufb

@kylerrobbins Since Trump is in the stadium the refs have decided rules don't matter and crime is legal. 🙃

they’re calling it the longest halftime there’s ever been

Playing in the national championship game and still can't figure out how to get decals that actually stay on our helmets smh #IUFB

Every @IUBloomington Fan, Donor, Student and Alumni deserves what’s happening in Miami tonight. The love and support for the @IUHoosiers is incredible and passionate. So many great memories of watching that passion up close. @IndianaFootball and Curt have EARNED it. So have you.

Enjoy “Fernando” by Straight No Chaser. Happy natty weekend friends ❤️

@indiana_edits 10/2/2010--a home game vs Michigan on my campus visit. A surprisingly close game, but Michigan scored with 12 seconds left to win. The first of many heartbreaking losses I attended. #NeverDaunted #IUFB

On the eve of Indiana Hoosiers’ first national championship game I’d like for you to tell me the first Indiana football game you attended. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

IU alumnus Jane Pauley's CBS Sunday Morning segment on Indiana Football will make you feel things. A must watch for Hoosiers. Hail to Old IU. 🥹

Indiana University is going to play in the National Championship. In football.

@TheJFreakinC Then when they realized they effed up, they dumped him in the WalMart parking lot and drove away with no accountability. Despicable. facebook.com/share/r/171W5r…

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol just illegally arrested a U.S. citizen… a TEENAGER… in Richfield, Minnesota. The teen was working at Target when agents tackled him and arrested him, while his passport was in his pocket, fully identifying himself as a U.S. citizen. None of it mattered. Why? Because he looked Latino. When a coworker asked who to call, he said, heartbreakingly: “my mom.” Think about that. Your teenage son goes to work, and Border Patrol kidnaps him. This isn’t an isolated incident. ICE and Border Patrol have repeatedly illegally arrested U.S. citizens, especially in Minnesota. And after agents murdered a U.S. citizen who tried to drive away from illegal detention, this should outrage every single American. U.S. citizens do not have to prove their citizenship. Yet, ICE and Border Patrol agents are routinely violating the Constitution, demanding proof anyway… and even refusing to accept drivers licenses or real IDs. And now? Even a passport doesn’t matter. This isn’t enforcement… it’s targeting Americans based on fear and appearance, treating citizens like criminals in their own country. When will this end? When will the government stop stripping citizens of their rights and labeling them terrorists for simply existing?

Statement by Becca Good. Read it @JDVance—and burn in hell. “First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family. This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her. Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine. Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow. Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole. Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles. What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy. And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever. We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine. On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns. Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way. We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee’s legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.”

12/13 We know there was no threat or aggression from Renee, because we can hear it on the video. And according to the case Barnes v. Felix, we must consider the officers actions when he claims self-defense. If he put himself in the way of harm and escalated he cannot then claim self defense.

On a flight from San Jose to Burbank and it's at least 10:1 #iufb to Bama fans. Rose Bowl here we come! 🌹🌹🌹

Called 9 people who played for or coached with Curt Cignetti at Alabama and Kalen DeBoer at Indiana. They shared all kinds of stories: al.com/alabamafootbal…

@ByTaylorL I was also indifferent to start but hearing Boomer Sooner all night has driven me batty so I'm officially rooting for Bama.

Came into this game without much of a preference for IU’s opponent. Maybe a slight lean toward Bama because it isn’t elite at any one thing (OU’s D front is insane). But the analytics show (as well as this game) that neither team is as good as Indiana.
