The words of a patriot
Alex Pretti, the Minnesotan executed by the Gestapo, was recorded speaking these words to a veteran on his death bed at a VA hospital, according to Heather Cox Richardson. Yesterday, after Alex Pretti’s death, the son of a man Pretti had cared for at the VA hospital published a video of Pretti speaking at his father’s deathbed. “Today we remember that freedom is not free,” Pretti said. “We have to work at it, nurture it, protect it, and even sacrifice for it. May we never forget and always remember our brothers and sisters who have served so that we may enjoy the gift of freedom. So in this moment, we remember and give thanks for their dedication and selfless service to our nation in the cause of our freedom. In this solemn hour, we [give] them our honor, and our gratitude.” https://www.nbcnews.com/video/shorts/icu-nurse-alex-pretti-honors-veteran-he-cared-for-256543813838

Ruby Ridge redefined use of force rules
That doesn’t matter when it is federal agents dealing with radical left protestors or people who are less than white, but if the protestors are sovereign citizens who believe in White Separatism, they get different rules. Randy Weaver made certain. https://www.npr.org/2026/01/24/nx-s1-5684002/ice-minnesota-minneapolis-…
