Springsteen: 'Streets Of Minneapolis' with lyrics.

&list=RDwWKSoxG1K7w&start_radio=1

Through the winter’s ice and cold
Down Nicollet Avenue
A city aflame fought fire and ice
‘Neath an occupier’s boots
King Trump’s private army from the DHS
Guns belted to their coats
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law
Or so their story goes
Against smoke and rubber bullets
By the dawn’s early light
Citizens stood for justice
Their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints
Where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets
Alex Pretti and Renee Good

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
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

Trump’s federal thugs beat up on
His face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots
And Alex Pretti lay in the snow, dead
Their claim was self defense, sir
Just don’t believe your eyes
It’s our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noem’s dirty lies

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

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
Singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of ’26
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
We’ll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

Minnesota presses forward with its own investigation into the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.



'Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty joins MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell as Minnesota presses forward with its own investigation into the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Moriarty says she disagrees with the Trump Justice Department's assertion that state prosecutors lack authority to file charges against the federal agents who killed two U.S. citizens.'

My words: Justice, such as it is, is coming. Watch MN.

The Question Every Republican Needs To Ask Themselves is...

Are you a Conservative or a Fascist?

If the answer is Conservative, then you need to join the RESISTANCE. If you're a Fascist, then Fuck You, you're the enemy.

Lest we forget...

Many a rich fuck voted for Trump, and I don't mean the billionaires, I mean your everyday upper middle class, aspiring to be richer fuck, looking to cash-in on the endless grift, not just the 'dumb as a rock' magats.

They knew who and what he was. They just didn't care. And here we are on the brink of another civil war due to their bottomless greed.

'When the American empire finally collapses, historians won't be stunned by the greed of the elite'

https://x.com/ShawnRyan762/status/1943675733886316629?lang=en

'When the American empire finally collapses, historians won't be stunned by the greed of the elite; they'll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. The working class didn't just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions. Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without even breaking a single law.'

My words: The first thing I thought when my daughter sent me this was, shame on us. The second thing I thought was, not on my goddamn watch. No way. No how. Fight these stupid fucks. Just fight them any way you can.
