"Hey Dude, I'm not mad at you." Renee Good's last words before she was shot three times and murdered by Jonathan Ross, ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026.

"Are you okay?" Alex Pretti's last words to a woman who had been knocked down by an ICE agent in the streets of Minneapolis on January 24, 2026, before he was shot eleven times.

All I can say is that I am not okay. I can only hope that everyone in this country with any consciousness will know that what is happening is not just wrong, it is indefensible.

These are our fellow citizens, Americans being murdered by our government.

If you think for one minute that you "didn't vote for this," you are delusional. This is exactly what you voted for when you cast that vote for Trump.

You think that "owning the libs" is going to get your jollies off? You are not owning anything but a murderous horrific movement that will destroy everything and everyone in its path.

Someday that will be you. I have stood in front of you, voting for your rights, your safety, your family and your way of living.

To all of those who voted for Trump, you have no mercy, no belief in goodness and no soul.
