Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

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.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

This darkness is palpable. It emanates from the dark hearts and empty souls of those in this regime. An empty, endlessly needy loveless man alive only in his grievances, hate, and fear has recruited soulless accomplices with dark hearts to wreak havoc for the great empty purpose of domination.

A woman was being roughed up by government thugs. Alex Pretti , an ICU nurse at the VA, tried to help. Was wrestled to the ground, sprayed with a chemical agent and then executed in broad daylight.
TW ⚠️

This is the pink jacket lady’s angle. (From Drop Site News)

Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.

Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

Caution. Watch this if you can. An execution in an American city in broad daylight. By masked government agents. His name is Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse. Trying to help a neighbor being roughed up by thugs.
ANOTHER ANGLE: the original video was deleted but I screen capped it. Here it is.

“I think God is very proud of the job I’ve done,” Mr. Trump said as he neared the end of his remarks.
I guess God may now get an invite to MAL. Maybe even hit a round of golf with PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP. The South Park episode write itself.

MLK put his body on the line every day and paid with his life. Everyday Americans in Minnesota are now doing it. It’s time for @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, @barackobama.bsky.social and other leaders to come out from behind their social media posts and lead across that bridge with their lives.
