Minnesota is the tomb of Fascism, Alex Pretti Memorial — A posting at the Alex Pretti Memorial that reads: "The image is from a famous photo of Madrid in 1937 after the city had withstood an attack by Franco’s forces. The citizens had been helped by the arrival of some units of the International Brigades many of whom were Americans. These Americans were later demonized during the McCarthy era for being premature anti-fascists. We have translated some of the wording of the banner. NO PASARAN translates literally as THEY SHALL NOT PASS. The bottom writing on the banner says that MADRID WILL BE TOMB OF FASCISM. We used a little poetic license to hope that MINNESOTA WILL BE THE TOMB OF FASCISM. We have to keep up the fight for the long-term. We can’t get tired. When we heard the Becca Good, the widow of Renee Good say, “They had guns we had whistles...” It reminded us of what was said after democracy lost the Spanish Civil War. “We had better music, but they had better guns and more of them.” We can’t outshoot them and we shouldn’t try but we can outsmart them."

Emergency ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA flyer — A flyer seen in Minneapolis on May 25, 2026 that reads: EMERGENCY: ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA “…There are thousands of ICE rats scuttling … already icy streets. Good is gone for good—shot in the … She isn’t the reason for the breaking point. Just as it was Amir Locke or Daunte Wright before her, or even George Floyd. The cries of Philando Castile’s family weren’t enough. Before them, Fong Lee, and too many more. Since Bloody Friday, our martyrs have been turned into just… names. They should have been enough. This ICE operation is somehow simpler AND more malicious than the kill count accumulated by our PD. This is slave catching. This is gestapo. A militia has descended upon our city, with SS tattoos and southern drawls, and they have come for our immigrants and our vaguely brown. It didn’t have to be Good. It could’ve been any of us. It’s a game of odds now, and I don’t gamble. So I will fight. ICE is not a disciplined or well-trained group. Their only cohesion is a collective desperation which makes for a fractured yet dangerous opponent. We have the numbers. We’re fighting for our home. We should not be intimidated by cowards. To paraphrase the villains from a favorite childhood film: If one stands up, then they all might stand up! They outnumber us 100:1 and if they ever figure that out, there goes our way of life! It’s not about food, IT IS ABOUT KEEPING THEM IN LINE. And finally, I repeat the words of a man I’m surprised to quote: “BULLSHIT. GET THE FUCK OUT OF OUR CITY!”

The good die young — oh.. and the Pretti gunned down in ICE cold blood in a warzone that is our city. Trump’s troops, weighted with weapons, white supremists masked their false pride while storming our castle as if it’s a ride, spraying teargas, blasphemous amass, crass brass relished the task of defending this act as they lied. ‘We are here to love each other’ — that’s Kennie’s mantra. A devoted mom and good wife, she literally sparkled. This natural leader was born to right wrongs, write poems and sing songs, yet on January 7th the unthinkable happened, shot through the heart, and Trump’s to blame, incapable of shame or pain. 17 days later it happened again. Alex Pretti — ICU — vigorous, steady and noble. This nurse stood for good, ready, willing and able. You may never know the fruit laid on your table, but it sets the stage, a million reasons to follow your belief in a better tomorrow for humanity, to do as they should. That’s why we stand — and that’s PRETTI GOOD.” /pretti/
