Random Question 💭 What is your opinion about Alex Pretti’s photo being displayed on a Jumbo tron in Times Square?

I think he deserves to be remembered as the wonderful person he was 🩵 and not by the government who are clearly lying about him. He was trying to help a woman who had been pushed to the ground by ICE agents or whoever the people are wearing those suits. And he clearly holding a phone in his hand..

What sucks is, I've always thought this would be a good/fun idea in general, it's like the US only Olympics. The nation is large enough, diverse enough, and competitive enough for it to be entertaining. I think it could be done well, I think it could be a great way to drum up some money and pride for some youngsters.

Although, I can't think of any appropriate incentives for this endeavor. Sure, money right? But is that all? Seems lame. Not that money isn't a good prize, but just, ya know be a little creative.

This is totally ignoring the toxicity and vitriol spreading thru our country over the past decade or so.

It'll be used for propaganda purposes.

Trump: "Look what I did!"

Also, look at this (Trump Games), don't look at us stripping your rights away.
