Ein trefflicher youtube Kommentar zu dem Spiegel-Beitrag:
„Am Beispiel USA kriegt man gerade eine ungefähre Vorstellung davon was Björn Höcke von der AfD mit „wohltemperierter Grausamkeit“ meint. Wenn man wissen will wie eine Diktatur anfängt einfach mal nach USA schauen. Dort werden gerade Menschen von ICE einfach verhaftet und ohne Prozess inhaftiert, und das betrifft auch Menschen, die dort legal sind, und sogar Menschen, die Staatsbürger sind.“
Earlier this morning, Minnesota’s governor, Tim Walz, and his wife visited the memorial to Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, becoming very emotional as they paid their respects.
Asked by an ABC reporter if he thought there would be a shift in tone from the administration after his conversation with Donald Trump on Monday, Walz replied:
I’m not so interested in shift in tone. We just need them out of here, and we need accountability for what’s happened.
“You see the trauma in this community,” Walz told an NBC News reporter as he was leaving, adding that Minnesotans are “demanding justice” and want agents to leave.
He said that since his call with the president after the killings of Pretti and Renee Good by federal agents, he had seen no evidence of ICE withdrawing from the city.
Once again, to Renee and Alex’s family, Minnesota has a responsibility to get you justice. And Minnesota has a responsibility to show the rest of the nation just how wrong this is.
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.
[Verse 2]
Against smoke and rubber bullets
In 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
Couplet 3]
Les sbires fédéraux de Trump se sont acharnés sur lui,
Sur son visage et sa poitrine.
Puis nous avons entendu les coups de feu,
Et Alex Pretti gisait mort dans la neige.
Ils ont parlé de légitime défense, monsieur,
Mais ne croyez pas ce que vos yeux voient.
C’est notre sang et nos os,
Et ces sifflets et ces téléphones,
Contre les mensonges sordides de Miller et de Noem.
[Bridge]
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 our chants of „ICE out now“
Our city’s heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears
On the streets of Minneapolis
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
ICE out (ICE out) ICE out (ICE out) ICE out (ICE out) ICE out
thanks lajla for the lyrics of Bruce Springsteen‘s song!(HQ of the flowies)
Dieser Brief / diese Mail der Omas gegen Rechts geht quer durch die USA. An alle Zeitungen, zumindest solche, die nicht Trumphörig sind, an viele Netzwerke, und es ist ein verdammt kluger Text.

Man kann nichts tun. Und es passiert nichts. Man kann etwas tun, und es passiert etwas, oder eine Menge. (m.e.)

Es ist mittlerweile schwer geworden, über die Situation zu reflektieren, ohne in Gewaltphantasien abzudriften.
