His name was Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37. He was an intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital. He loved his dog. He loved the outdoors and cared deeply about the environment. He spoke out against injustice. He was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois. He was an athlete. He was a Boy Scout. He sang in a boys choir. He was a research scientist. He was kind. He was generous. By all credible reports so far, he represented the very best of America. Paramilitary federal agents of the Trump regime murdered him in cold blood, in broad daylight, in front of numerous witnesses, in a city where they are broadly unwelcome and where their lawless behavior continues to produce death and injury to the public on a daily basis. The national operating system, meanwhile, is horribly outdated, riddled with critical bugs, and only nominally maintained by two factions of grossly incompetent vibe coders who mostly can't see and act outside their own narrow partisan allegiances. Hope is in short supply. Anger is abundant. https://apnews.com/article/immigration-enforcement-minnesota-protester-alex-pretti-15ade7de6e19cb0291734e85dac763dc
Huzzah! Here's my first mint frame 🖼️ Hmm, I hope we get some additional aspect ratio options for frames in the future 💭 https://farcaster.manifold.xyz/frame/39670000
Alright, let's give this Zora boost feature a try ... There should be enough gas in the tank for ~100 mints. https://zora.co/collect/zora:0xd1ec5ed59273a9f6ab48d33fde2d802e80d5b5a3/4/frames
Earnestly asking someone to explain the physics of capturing an image of such a bullet streak under the observable conditions in which this photo was taken. The photographer has said he was shooting with a shutter speed of 1/8000 second. He was as close as 5-10 feet from Trump. My understanding is that the muzzle velocity of an AR-15 round is up to 3,300 ft/s (1,006 m/s).
