“We need to divert attention from the Pretti murder.”

“Gotcha.”

The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.

Any second now, I'm sure.

He was a white guy, if that helps?

Hello? NRA?

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are.

It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is.

All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

It’s increasingly clear that we need a Royal Commission with a single term of reference:
“Why are the vociferous supporters of Israel’s actions in Gaza and the West Bank unable to discern the reasons for a rise in antisemitism?”

I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

Funny how nobody organised prominent business people and former sports people to sign a letter demanding a Royal Commission into Sports Gambling that instantly got massive coverage in the mainstream media isn’t it?
Wonder why? 🤔

Completely inappropriate for ABC Sport to run an interview during the cricket tea break with a spokesperson for athletes pushing for a Royal Commission. No other perspectives canvassed - just a platform handed to one side of the argument on a silver platter. Appalling.

Same, since 1969 when I joined the Herald in Melbourne as a copy boy. The national broadcaster was once a shining light in the darkness of compromised journalism. Today, it’s a sort of commercial junkyard but with longer words and shoddier graphics.

Ha! The “sports stars” petition for an Antisemitism Royal Commission was signed by Sam Newman.

Yes, this guy, who platformed Nazis.
