@chrislhayes.bsky.social: What is unfolding in Minneapolis is their vision for the country. It is an authoritarian state that cuts immigrants from the national fabric. And paints anyone who resists as a ‘domestic terrorist.’ And Americans hate it.

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

#iceout The Irony; In an ironic turn of events, ICE agents are now immigrants. Is this where Bovino sent the ICE Shooters of Americans?

Wait? What? The GOP Minnesota candidate for governor who stepped outta, the race today WAS THE LAWYER for the agent who shot and killed Ms Renne N. Good ??!

The video makes clear that Alex Pretti was not holding a weapon in the lead-up to the shooting, or when federal agents forcefully took him to the ground

An ICU Nurse at our Veterans Hospital, an AFGE UNION MEMBER. Licensed to carry a weapon. He was applying the Good Samaritan Law helping a woman knocked to the ground by ICE Agents. He did NOT brandish a weapon at anyone it was holstered. DHS has fabricated their narrative. We all saw the videos.

The best forensic evidence's objectivity; Edmund Locard's Principle ("Whatever he (trump) touches, whatever he (trump) leaves, even unconsciously, will serve as a silent witness against him") ... and that "Physical evidence cannot be wrong." Hon., Jack Smith, knows it, he's got the forensics!

Pieced together the surveillance video, including the new angle dropped by CNN (added slow-motion), and the condition of the officer after Renee Good was shot. What do you observe? Vehicles were able to drive around her with plenty of clearance. 1/2

Trump's gaslighting team can't win the whitewashing narratives of the hours. I know what I saw on Jan 6th, 2021. And MAFA Johnson, shame on you for "misplacing" the honorable Plaque and your losing courage to hold the WH to accountability.

The “dragons” in the quote symbolize the challenges, fears, or adversities we face in life. Fairy tales, through their narratives of heroes overcoming. They inspire us to confront our own struggles with bravery and determination, offering a framework for imagining triumph over difficulties.
