"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

America appropriated a lot from the Haudenosaunee, too much to list here. But what they never understood was Peace, actual Peace. America's original sin was killing us (and so many others) so it could have "peace" and it never attoned for that. Each president is forever cursed to kill for "freedom".

1/ It's an honour to win Best Cinematography in a Documentary for Yintah from the Canadian Screen Awards. Some thoughts on the award:
Yintah’s cinematography was a decade-long collective effort to witness history in the face of RCMP repression.
