Nurses: Share this about your colleague and what he so bravely did, in spite of the lies told about him.

POWERFUL: The family of Alex Pretti releases a bold statement after his senseless murder by Trump’s ICE cowards. Read every word for the truth.

“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.”

His father added this:

“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Pretti’s father Alex. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.”

The responsibility now falls on us. Let's get the truth out about the man Kristi Noem smeared as a “domestic terrorist,” recycling the same dehumanizing language she used to justify Renee Good's murder.

Everyone should hear exactly who Alex really was.

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore stand as a reminder that some of the sharpest comedy ever written relied not on shock or profanity, but on intelligence, timing, and an exquisite sense of the absurd. Emerging in the early 1960s, they helped reshape British comedy through Beyond the Fringe, a stage r***e that dismantled political pomposity, class snobbery, and social hypocrisy with precision rather than noise. Their humour trusted the audience to listen closely, to catch the implication behind a pause or the quiet savagery of a well-placed word.

Much of their success came from contrast. Cook’s patrician drawl, dripping with arrogance and mock authority, collided beautifully with Moore’s eager, often ingenuous responses. Sketches such as the “One Leg Too Few” shop assistant routine or their many deadpan interviews worked because the language was clean and the situations were allowed to breathe. The laughs arrived through escalating logic and surreal understatement, not verbal aggression. Even when mocking religion, psychiatry, or the British establishment, they sounded polite—almost courteous—while mercilessly exposing nonsense.

Their work also demonstrated a deep respect for structure. Each sketch was tightly constructed, often resembling a miniature play rather than a string of jokes. Silence mattered. Rhythm mattered. Moore’s musicality, both literal and comedic, gave their performances a lightness that balanced Cook’s acid wit. The absence of swearing was not a limitation but a creative choice; it forced sharper writing and rewarded audiences willing to engage rather than simply react.

In an era when comedy is often judged by how far it pushes boundaries of language, Cook and Moore remain proof that lasting humour depends on ideas, not obscenities. Their influence can still be felt in British satire that values cleverness over crudity. They did not avoid strong opinions or controversial targets—they simply understood that the most devastating punchline is often delivered quietly, with impeccable diction and a straight face.

BREAKING: ICE detained Native American actress from Northern Exposure, and told her tribal ID “fake.” This should horrify every American.

Elaine Miles, the powerhouse who played Marilyn Whirlwind on Northern Exposure, said she was simply walking to a bus stop near Bear Creek Village in Redmond on Thanksgiving when four masked men jumped out of unmarked black SUVs and demanded her ID. She handed them her valid CTUIR tribal identification. One reportedly sneered that “anyone can make that.” Another allegedly dismissed the document outright as fake.

She pointed to the enrollment office number printed on the back and asked them to verify. They refused. When she tried to call herself, they allegedly reached for her phone.

"Then, I got my phone out, ‘I’ll f***in call the Tribe for you.’ They tried taking my phone! Son of a b***hes make me sick & angry! Racist BIGOTS and one of them was Mexican! Told him you’re a disgrace to your people. They suppose to be taking the ‘r*pist, felon, robbers, drug n human traffickers’ not women going to a bus stop."

It’s important to remember that Native Americans from federally recognized tribes are U.S. citizens under federal law. Their citizenship has been recognized for more than a century.

But beyond that is the deeper irony: SHE has more right to this land than anyone. Her people have been here for 10,000+ years. The masked ICE thugs are simply terrorists who represent a regime trying to erase that history.

This is what happens when a country lets fear, cruelty, and Trump-era ideology seep into every institution. When agents feel empowered to intimidate Native women at bus stops, democracy is rotting from the inside out. Fascism never arrives in grand gestures. It shows up in small moments, in unmarked SUVs, in masked men who think they decide who counts as American.

Disgusting.

Please LIKE and SHARE if you oppose ICE harassing Native Americans!

A lot of you weren’t born, of course! But it should be remembered…

Fifty years ago tomorrow, Gough Whitlam’s Labor Government was dismissed.

Gough Whitlam delivered so much for Australians who felt overlooked for too long.

Whitlam’s Australia was more modern, more confident and more equal.

A new generation with access to university education and affordable healthcare for all.

Soon, Old Parliament House will be home to a permanent reminder of everything the Whitlam Government achieved with a new statue of Gough.

Australians will be able to stand with Gough and put an arm around the great man’s shoulders.

And remind ourselves that if we maintain our enthusiasm, it’s always time.
