More than 1,000 people gathered at a vigil and rally to honor Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old man shot and killed by an ICE agent
All across the state of Minnesota, there were vigils organized to remember and honor the life of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse who was killed by a Border Patrol agent.
In Minneapolis, more than 1,000 people gathered in Whittier Park, then marched to the site where he was killed. The site has transformed into a makeshift memorial filld with candles and flowers — and is les than two miles from Renee Good’s.
In subzero temperatures, neighbors were handing out warm food and drinks both homemade and from local restaurants, and local businesses stayed open to give people somewhere to warm up.
Why is this good news? Alex Pretti should still be alive. While the vigil filled with both his neighbors nearby and all across the state shouldn’t have had to happen at all — it’s a powerful display of unity, care, and community in the midst of unbelievable tragedy.
Former professional basketball star Andrew Ogilvy came out as gay. In an interview as part of the NBL's fourth annual pride round, Ogilvy shared that he had been married to his long-time partner for 18 months after the pair met while the center was playing for the Sydney Kings in the 2013/14 season.
A new hepatitis B drug could help functionally cure some patients. It could become the first treatment that can help “functionally cure” patients chronically infected with hepatitis B, meaning they can stop taking daily pills — a goal that so far has been elusive.
After a friend died in a preventable crash, this Montana man began his own 24/7 taxi service for the elderly
Daniel Foley’s friend, an elderly and disabled man, was on doctor’s orders not to drive. But he decided to go out on an errand anyway, and ended up in a head-on collision, losing his life, and killing a 32-year-old woman.
Foley — a former school bus driver, truck driver, and public bus driver, with over 12 years of professional experience in the Hamilton, Montana valley — wanted to prevent future tragedies like this.
What emerged was Giddy-Up Rides, Foley’s own 24/7 taxi service for disabled and elderly neighbors — or anyone else who needs a safe, reliable ride.
“What do I do with all of this terrible news? Today, I will let it inflate my capacity to love. I will allow my heart to expand beyond what it’s grown accustomed to. My love will know no bounds. I will flood this new space with their stories, their cries, their songs, and in response, will do what love requires. I will go where love sends me. I will bring love back home. I will stay soft, and tender, and pliable. I will let this swelling heart make something new out of me.
