Listen to Alex Pretti read Terry Randolph's final salute after his December 2024 death at vthe VA facility. Try not to choke up.
"Today we have to remember that freedom is not free," Pretti said. "We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it and even sacrifice for it. May we never forget and always remember our brothers and sisters who have served so that we may enjoy the gift of freedom."

@fkamiah17 Accurate : My "insider" is my brother who lives in MSP. He is calling it "Eternal January". They are not stopping what they are doing, just changing tactics.
Meanwhile, in Colorado, we are trying to learn from MSP resident actions.
We keep us safe - Colorado is standing up resistance channels in preparation of similar scale operations.
"The wars we’ve carried out as a nation abroad have come home," writes Cengiz Yar in his ground reporting from Minneapolis for @ProPublica, where he and colleague Peter DiCampo witnessed ICE raids, protestors enduring cycles of tear gas, detentions and regrouping, and more. "I do not have the words to articulate how it feels to watch this unfold in Minneapolis, a city that I have grown to know and love after moving here a few years ago," writes DiCampo. "The journalists who flocked here over the past few weeks are people I have run into while on assignment in hot spots all over the world. Now they were in my home city."

#ICE's occupation of #Minneapolis is opposed by most Americans.
But the #OvertonWindow is narrow. Debate is framed largely around ICE, rather than as #imperialBlowback from overseas wars and the militarised racism within the USA. The left press explores the big picture, and the #NYT carried an oped by David Wallace-Wells https://archive.is/UGNfs .
But MSM neŵs reporting and Democrats continue to frame ICE as #Trump's overreach, rather than as normal American repression now visiting suburbs.

Hi friends. I urge you to watch this video from a person in Minnesota about the ongoing ICE terror campaign. They are begging people not to look away, and still need our help and support.
Their IG account includes links for helping via mutual aid. The LinkTree is below, but I will also type out every link in the comments below for added convenience.
