I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."

and

"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

Guilt without due process, an angry armed mob showing up with the tacit or official writ of the government, demanded entry, kicked down the door, murdering who they wanted.

If you resisted, you died. If you didn't, you died. Warrantless arrest, home-invasion, execution.

The Klan wore masks, too.

Violent interactions with the public aren’t surprising, a former ICE official said of the agency under Trump. “That’s sort of by design.”
Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin.

Here is a photo he used for several accounts.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

There is no appeasing a bully or a rapist. No is not part of their vocabulary.

You manage a bully by managing their expectations. Let them know early and often, I won't be giving you anything but a hard way to go.

No, I will not put down this chair. Move along, citizen.

My mother used to put it a different way:

“I may not be able to beat you, but you won't get bored kicking my ass.”

She says there is nothing a bully hates more than someone who won't stay down.

She suggested I take a page from ambush predators to know the vulnerabilities of your enemies...

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

His name was Alex Jeffrey Pretti, ICU nurse. Remember his name. Honor his memory.

The regime is lying to you. He did not brandish a weapon. He had a phone. He was trying to help a woman.

Tim Walz: "I have a strong statement … for federal government: Minnesota's justice system will have the last word on this. It must…. As I told the White House in no uncertain terms this morning, the federal government cannot be trusted to lead this investigation. The state will handle it. Period."

Major trigger warning.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti shooting in Minnesota.

VERY graphic.

TL;dr - it was a fucking execution pure and simple.

Well, this is in character.

This may have been my most influential #writing year.

I published 20 articles on the #epistemology of writing —examining how the #Socratic, #Narrative, and #Thermodynamic dimensions of thought shape craft & sharpen thinking.

I did most of that work on #Facebook. They removed me from the platform.
