Pretti's ghost hovers with Good's,
Now they're both gone forever.
Noem claimed that he had a gun in his hand.
As they brought a pack of sniveling,
Stephen Miller's lies,
And talked on to hoodwink America.

Ghastly, I said as we mourn,
While we listen to For What It's Worth.
Minneapolis we hear your pleas to us now.
Trump told his ICE goons,
To pick fights like savages.
All done to strongarm America

Laughing while they just,
Lie straight to our faces.
She said the man was a terrorist,
So deserved to die.
I said how awful, that "weapon" is really a camera ...

(They) Tossed Greg Bovino,
Replaced him with dirty Tom Homan.
Kristy Noem might last an hour or so.
The city's shown resiliency,
Amid this tragic scene.
As the Goons chose to kidnap a frightened child.

Our country feels lost I said,
While I fear most are sleeping.
We're fearful and hating,
I think I know why.
Corruption and scars from this oligarch takeover.

RESIST! Resist America
Resist, Resist America.

We see a lot of finger pointing. We hear a lot of angry name calling

A benefit concert , billed as “A Concert of Solidarity & Resistance to Defend Minnesota!”, kicked off at Minneapolis’ famed First Avenue Club. The show was brought together to raise money for the families of Good and Alex Pretti, who were both fatally shot by ICE agents.

Bruce Springsteen appeared onstage as the surprise guest and delivered the first live performance of the protest song to cheers in the crowd.
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
Through the winter’s ice and cold
Down Nicollet Avenue
A city aflame fought fire and ice

‘Neath an occupier’s boots
Private army from the DHS
Guns belted to their coats
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law
Or so their story goes

Now they say they’re here to uphold the law
But they trample on our rights
If your skin is black or brown my friend
You can be questioned or deported on sight

In chants of ICE out now
Our city’s heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears
On the streets of Minneapolis

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Crying through the bloody mist
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

• Who’s To Fault And Who’s To Blame

But where does the truth really lie?

• What Is Truth?

To paraphrase the prophet Isaih, can we reason together, stop killing each other, and Figure it out? Will we finally take our national predicament seriously enough peacefully resolve our differences without continuously resorting to more and more senseless violence ?
