Lyrics:
Through the winterâs ice and cold
Down Nicollet Avenue
A city aflame fought fire and ice
âNeath an occupierâs boots
King Trumpâs 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 dawnâs 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
Weâll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed
In the winter of â26
Weâll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Trumpâs 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 donât believe your eyes
Itâs our blood and bones
And these whistles and phones
Against Miller and Noemâs dirty lies
Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Crying through the bloody mist
Weâll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Now they say theyâre 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 cityâs 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 â26
Weâll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst
Weâll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis
Weâll remember the names of those who died
On the streets of Minneapolis

Thanks for posting but I wouldnât really listen to that: a physical therapist with just a first name and âknoen for his viral videosâ commenting on things well outside his expertise. We all want to see the back of Trump so hopefully this guys conjecture comes true.

Itâs a cheque, god damit!
Those are the 21st. Century version of the orders of the SS Einsatzgruppen in operation Barbarossa.

Sorry for laughing, but itâs so backwaterish. Hillbilly militia, except with a bit more dicipline.
Who talks like that if they 
âProfessional, legal, ethical, moralâ. Like a mantra akin to what a lieutenant in Recruit School would chant on Day 1-10 
Reminds me of when I was in the army in recruit school and they were training military police in like the first three weeks. Except these guys are not 18-20 year olds being instructed for the first time by a shouting seargant, but actual trained officers of the state
On that note:

More like StĂźrmabteilung where the odd guy is a veteran from the old war and a few have some training in the Freikorps, before putting on that brown uniform.
Itâs not the elite of military or law enforcement this.
But maybe I am too whimsical. Maybe that guy who talks like a moron, is in fact a Reinhardt Heydrich; but I would be loath to grant him such power and notority. After all, Heydrich was considered very, very intelligent and knowledgeagable.
I just cannot grant this moron the respect of comparing him with a feared, intelligent, and charismatic devil like Heydrich personally.

What is this legislative malarky?
I just know you pay the bill with a cheque⌠or is that you play the cheque with a bill.

I donât think the einsatzgruppen rank and file were elite. They did however display many of the characteristics of the likes of Bovino and his ICE thugs.
Agreed. Heâs more a rank and file thug.

Its cover for the camera. It is pointedly not saying we will do X or not do X. Plausible deniability if you like while still flagging that its a meaningless mantra aka donât worry about that BS

I thought it sounds more like a mantra of the type an officer repeats all the time to his troops.
Over the last few weeks, the Trump administration has explicitly or implicitly borrowed from the Nazi tradition on social media.
Specific passages or iconography from the Third Reich have been repurposed in the context of the governmentâs own legislative program today. The adoption of these extreme symbols, dog whistles and phrases is part of a re-mainstreaming of fascist and Nazi ideas more broadly.
Ali Breland, a staff writer at The Atlantic, explains why he sees it as part of an attempt to remake the U.S. from a country defined by ideas like liberty and equality, to one defined by bloodline and heritage.

Petty of course, but also extremely counter productive (one would think Trump would understand that this risk sales of jets and aircrafts worth billions)
I am loving the fighting spirit of Canada at this time. Carney is a statesman. He spoke so well at Davos and then he protects his country and does his job by pursuing deals with China, et al. He is not being bullied by Trump.
Full respect also to the likes of @Arminius for your decision to boycott and decouple from American products, as much as you can, even at some personal inconvenience and expense, Iâm sure.
Oh, and for those such as @dalglish who say get the hell out of dodge (and full respect to you sir, for your sincere expression of care) we are a house divided at the moment.
This is personal family business, but just giving my fellow forumites an insider scoop as to how one family is processing things. Last night we had a conversation. I started it with a comment asking what do you want to do, stay here, or move back to the UK? (Bear in mind Mrs ROTW is American and was born here, went to university in the UK, but her whole family is here in the States. Our two kids were born in the UK but have grown up here and are both in college here, and I am the most British, having been born in the UK and grown up there, with all my family there, before moving here to America in my mid-late 30s).
Bottom line, me and my daughter would both move back to the UK tomorrow. Mrs ROTW and our son would stay here, and feel like their life is here.
So how the hell can I split the family? 
That is not an option, so we soldier on. My daughter is doing elementary education and she has a huge heart for underprivileged kids. She is talking about moving to NYC when she is qualified. Weâll see what happens.
My son - please donât laugh - turned down division one scholarships for football to go to a tiny Christian college, and he wants to get into youth work or something in that lane. Similar to daughter, he is appalled at what is happening in this country but wants to fight on the ground for better outcomes.
Peace and love x
