Nine months ago, Alex Pretti was on Nicollet Ave when federal agents disarmed him before shooting him at least 10 times, killing him. Today, America is voting, and in Minneapolis, people are showing up on Nicollet Ave in the rain to place their “I Voted” stickers at his memorial.

A person wearing glasses, a gray knit hat and a pale blue raincoat leans toward a memorial post covered in “I Voted” stickers, pressing a hand against its lower edge. Beside the post hang a stethoscope and a Disabled American Veterans cap with “Thank you, Alex” handwritten on its brim.Rain-soaked flowers and evergreen branches at Alex Pretti’s memorial, with red “I Voted” and red, white and blue “I Voted Early” stickers nestled among the stems. Purple and white artificial flowers lie beside a button reading “Pretti” and a partially visible Peggy Flanagan campaign button.Close-up of a rain-speckled red “I Voted” sticker on a wooden board covered in handwritten tributes at Alex Pretti’s memorial. Behind it, an out-of-focus poster shows a person holding bicycle handlebars and text reading “Alex Pretti countered fascism in Minneapolis.”A person stands in the rain at Alex Pretti’s memorial on Nicollet Avenue, facing a post covered in red “I Voted” stickers. Their black hoodie reads, “ICE, GET THE F**K OUT OF MINNESOTA!” Flowers surround the post, which holds a framed photograph of a tribute reading, “Rest in power Alex. Any righteous person would have done the same.”

“And when you get real with them about that, and they know that you're willing to stand up and fight for them, then they are willing to consider showing up to vote.” That's our Sec State! @indivisiblelasvegas.org @renoactiongroup.bsky.social @50501nnv.bsky.social

“I did a Latino community event [and said] we have to actually fucking vote to tell these motherfuckers to fuck off,” Nevada secretary of state Cisco Aguilar tells WIRED.

I don't know that this means much in the grand scheme of things: I was at a Día de los Muertos celebration today in Reno and the Democrat's booth was quite active and a lot of folks were carrying around Kamala hand signs. There was no Republican booth.

Me: ...and I have anti-ICE whistle kits for adults if you want them. The adult: ...what? Six-year old: It's a WHISTLE KIT for when ICE is snatching someone off the street so you can let other people know! Duh! The adult looking at me, crushed that a six year old knows this: I'll have one. Thanks.

ICE paid CoreCivic $495 million for a prison in Minnesota that's only worth $75 million. Asked why, CoreCivic said, “The federal government ultimately determined the sale price following its assessment process.” CoreCivic donated half a million dollars to Trump.

One week until Election Day. America deserves better than the pedophile protection party. Knock doors. Make calls. Get your friends to vote. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ballot and finally make Trump release the Epstein files.
