One other thing: if you DO NOT LIVE IN MINNESOTA, and are NOT AFFECTED BY THIS AT ALL, and you think it's a good and productive to come in here and gloat and stir chaos and dunk on someone you dislike from the internet, maybe think a little harder about what you're doing and when you're doing it.

To help you keep track today in Minneapolis: -ICE tear-gassed children, adults and abducted a legal observer from a park. -Tear-gassed people at an Alex Pretti memorial. -Are drive-by pepper spraying folks. Including myself. I was wearing a stole. These are intentional acts of terror.

Glory to the heroes of the Republic 🫡

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested by federal agents earlier for reporting on the church protest in Minneapolis. She was live streaming when agents arrived to take her into custody.

"...I believe in jesus christ who rises again and again in our lives so that we will be free from prejudice and arrogance from fear and hate and carry on his revolution and make way for his kingdom."-Dorothee Soelle.

ICE hasn't deescalated up here.

Is it cheesy or have people become poisoned by irony and cynicism? The question is rhetorical and the answer is the latter.

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. Stay free

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

We were just sent Alex’s GoFundMe.

Cynicism will not protect you from the authoritarian regime. But it might exhaust the people who are fighting like hell to get you out of it. If you’re clogging up the mentions of people doing the work, it’s time to log off until you’re ready to join the effort instead.

And donate. Every time they kill one of us, help us make the resistance even stronger.

The Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?” And the Lord said, “What have you done? Listen, your brother’s blood is crying out to me from the ground!" For those whose blood cries from the ground for justice, we pray. Amen.

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.

His name was Alex Jeffrey Pretti and he was a nurse. ICE murdered him.

He was a nurse. They executed a nurse.

They’re heroes

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."

The video below has just been linked to an article by the Minnesota @StarTribune and it shows at least six masked agents wrestling a man to the ground before shooting him multiple times in Minneapolis this morning. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Arrests calmly ongoing. This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

As a member of clergy hospitalized while protesting. I really have no patience for doomers. Have I mentioned I have no patience for doomers?

As clergy pray, arrests begin

Just realized I have the same haircut as Greg Bovino. *Internal shrieking.*

I just drove past a church and the sign board was "thou shalt not commit adultery." Which honestly doesn't really help me feel like I want to reflect on God, but it does make me deeply curious about what happened at that church to put that verse up specifically

this is it. this is the way forward.

She was an MD that treated kids with cancer. She had to tell families, "There is no cure." "The treatment isn't working. "Your child is going to die." I'm in my 40s with metastatic cancer technically past my expiration date. Cancer and death aren't evil. Nor are they karma or punishment. They are.

"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" sticking to canon. The only thing the Baratheons are more allergic to than healthy family dynamics, heterosexuality.

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

I keep thinking about them saying "haven't you learned [from Renee Good's murder]" and... they don't understand why people are still coming out after they've shown they can and will kill us, because they're cowards, and they don't understand what it's like not to be a coward

P.S. Here is some good reading if you want to know more about chaplains: ⚓️ We're usually not seen, and have to fight to be there. In part because unlike nurses and social workers, it is harder to see us. 🛟 Please spread this and get excited with us! journeyingalongside.substack.com/p/chaplains-...

As a chaplain I've presided at many organ donor honor walks. 4 hours ago I presided at bedside for my family member. Someone that dreamed and trained to save lives and died despite the best interventions of the ICU team. Now instead of a life in medicine. She'll live on in others as a donor.

Everyday I wake up knowing I'm going to die of cancer. I know it in my bones. Literally. I have 2 choices: hope or despair. I chose hope. Not for a cure, but that my work matters. This regime is afraid of We The People. The greatest weapons they have are despair and apathy. What you do matters.

Keep watch, O God, with those who work, watch and weep this night--in anguish from war and terror, crushed by despair, oppressed by fear. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted all for your love’s sake. Amen.

Thousands marched through the streets of Minneapolis tonight and ended at the barricaded vigil site for Renee Nicole Good who was fatally shot yesterday by ICE agent Jonathan Ross.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

Yes, taxes fund this. That doesn't have anything to do with whether people should cause themselves moral injury and psychological harm watching that video. It doesn't bring her back. When there are actions and work people can do.

Hi. Chaplain here. You have no moral of ethical compunction to watch the ICE shooting video. It won't bring the victim back and will likely traumatize you. Put your outrage and energy into protest/organizing/donating/supporting immigrants.

This is the agent that murdered the woman in Minneapolis on 1/7/2026.

Trump’s Greenland idea isn’t just absurd, it’s dangerous. It risks destroying NATO, empowers China and Russia, and drags the U.S. back toward 19th-century imperial thinking. We have to stop this, as I told @stephruhle.bsky.social

This isn't subtle. This movie is about death and literal doom (DOOM). And how our favorite superheroes face these realities. It asks us too. In the face of death and the evil around us. How will we live? We can let evil win by despairing and dooming or we can fight. youtube.com/watch?v=kH1X...

Was already a proud member. Also Doubletree gives you a warm chocolate chip cookie.

I do palliative care consults. Often my role is to tell patients and their families they are dying. I'm the grim reaper of the palliative care team. I say DEATH. The scary word because someone has to. I sit with them in silence after that word or leave if they tell me to fuck off. It's my job.

Had to head to the ER. The irony of the nurse concerned about "drug-seeking" behavior...at the facility where I work. In the system where I receive treatment. I mean I am in fact seeking medication to treat an acute pain crisis that requires a specific protocol. Who knew we exaggerate bone met pain.

Verbum caro factum est Et habitavit in nobis! The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us! Dwells among us in children murdered by drones.In migrants snatched by masked men.In wordless anguish.In the cries from blood-soaked grounds in every tongues, "Why doesn't God stop evil?" "Why don't we?" 📕 ⚓

Ah: reached out to the pastor of this church — @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social — and he sent along a photo of the sign in question:

Getting real tired of seeing nurse and MD tiktokers mocking pain patients and making patient suffering the butt of jokes. Fun fact if chaplains see these and it's staff where we work. It's not just a moral obligation to report it's an ethical obligation under our board certification.

#NAFO Y'all know the deal. With these Hey NAFO folks have a small urgent fundraiser for SAM Junctional tourniquet carriers x2 for Vasily ($18 each). Also from a doc for video laryngoscopes x2 ($62 each). These assist with intubation. Total is 158 all together. PP: [email protected]
