So, on a Saturday morning, in the city of Minneapolis in the State of Minnesota in the United States of America, Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was shot dead by federal agents, part of a force of 3,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents now in that American city. We shoot nurses now.
America, at this moment in time, is not the “shining city on a hill.” We are lit not with joy and righteousness, but with hate and retribution.
We define us. We are broader than a flag. We cannot be raised and lowered at the whim of anyone.
