Starting off their set with “We cannot thank you enough for all you’ve done on behalf of freedom and democracy in America", the Dropkick Murphys finish their acoustic set with "I'm Shipping Up to Boston".

Their set was part of a 7 hour benefit show across from where Alex Pretti was killed by federal agents on January 24. A little over a mile from where Renee Good was killed 17 days prior.

“We’ll never forget what we saw with our own eyes, we’ll never forget what we’ve seen here today. Thank you all for allowing us to come bear witness with you, thank you Minnesota!”.

Probably the only place in Minneapolis I can think of that Packers memorabilia can safely exist.

“I will be brave, like you, every day. RIP."
“Rest in power Alex. Never forgotten. We fight in your memory”
“Thank you for protecting our community with love.”
“Thank you for standing up for whats right”

A box at the Alex Pretti Memorial on Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis on February 12, 2026. Inside the box is a whistle, stones, a flower along with 2 quotes.

“Are you okay?" and "I'm not mad at you" are some of the last words of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, both killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.

With the passing of Jesse Jackson, I think back to the time he was in Minneapolis for the verdict in the Derek Chauvin murder trial. Following the verdict he spent time at George Floyd Square, sitting at the People's Way benches.

Today in Minneapolis, those demanding justice for everyone shot and/or killed by federal agents over the last 2 months, protesters marched from Stewart Park to the memorial of Alex Pretti.

Pretti was shot and killed by border patrol agents while he was unarmed on January 24, 2026. Video shows agents removing a gun from Pretti prior to shots being fired.

"OUR NEIGHBORHOOD BLOCKS ICE" banner hangs on Chicago Avenue and 38th Street at George Floyd Square, which continues to be a place of protest going on almost 6 years following the murder of George Floyd.

On this day last year I photographed 1 guy with a sign in front of the Tesla showroom just outside of Minneapolis (Golden Valley). The “Tesla Takedown” protests popped up worldwide after Elon Musk, who gave n**i salutes the month prior at President Trump’s inauguration, took a major role in the new administration and DOGE.

I spent the next 8 Saturday mornings covering the protests that grew to hundreds in the matter of weeks. These have continued in Golden Valley as recently as yesterday.
