Waiting for the government to tell you what your own eyes already saw? 🤡 You might need to lick those boots a little harder to get the full flavor of the narrative. 🥾👅 Every day feels like we’re living in a State of Emergency. #FolkMusic #ProtestSong #Songwriter #Appalachia #WV

December 10, 2024: Alex Pretti talks about sacrificing for freedom. January 24, 2026: He is killed by federal agents while protecting a stranger. The timeline of a tragedy. #AlexPretti #Minneapolis #ICE #FolkMusic #ProtestSong

Alex Pretti, a nurse and lawful gun owner, was murdered by ICE agents in Minneapolis yesterday. They claim self-defense. The videos all show that he was executed. Don’t let the narrative get twisted. This was murder. #AlexPretti #Minneapolis #ICE #ProtestSong #FolkMusic

🚨 Fire Truck used for ICE Raid in WV 🚨 Footage from Teays Valley shows a local fire truck lifting ICE agents onto a roof to detain workers. Seeing rescue equipment used for raids is pretty insane. Is this what our tax dollars are for? #WestVirginia #Appalachia #ICE

There’s heavy Ice over WV right now. It’s aggressive, dangerous, and moving through multiple counties. Please check on your neighbors. Make sure they’re safe from the elements. Don’t let them get caught in the freeze. Stay safe out there. #WestVirginia #Appalachia #ICE #folkmusic #ProtestSong

"Have you not learned?" An ICE agent in St. Louis Park just used the killing of Renee Good to threaten a resident. When asked to explain, he grabbed the camera. They want us afraid. They want us silent. But as the song says: It's all on tape. #StLouisPark #Minneapolis #ICE #ReneeGood #Protest

Murder in Minneapolis The DHS is already circling the wagons, claiming that the shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent was self-defense. But we have eyes. This was an execution. We can’t let their narrative overwrite the truth. #ReneeGood #Minneapolis #ICE #AbolishICE #Protest #folkmusic

Don’t let the headlines distract you. While we talk about the Epstein files, people all across the country are receiving notices of how much higher their premiums will be. We have to reinstate the tax credits to save lives. #SingingJournalist #healthcare #medicaid #ACA #WV #BigBeautifulBill #HR1
