About… Power, Punishment & The Cost of Cruelty

" The lie is that cruelty equals strength... that harshness is required to be effective... and that suffering is an effective deterrent to immigrants."

In this chat We are addressing the killing of Alex Pretti, the unrest unfolding in Minnesota, and what this moment reveals about fear, power, and humanity in America today.

This chat isn't about outrage for outrage's sake. It's about the moral cost of violence, the normalization of cruelty, and the responsibility we share when grief is replaced by narratives and slogans.

Friend, now is the time to chat candidly about immigration enforcement, due process, protest, and the danger of turning human lives into symbols instead of honoring their dignity. I'm asking us to slow down, sit with the weight of what’s happening, and examine how empathy, justice, and moral responsibility must remain central to who we are, even in times of fear and division.

We’re chatting about:

• The death of Alex Preti and why grief must come before politics
• What the Minnesota protests reveal about fear, power, and unrest
• Immigration enforcement versus human dignity and due process
• How cruelty and intimidation are being normalized in America
• Why empathy and moral responsibility still matter in hard times

This is not light listening. It’s an honest chat about loss, accountability, and the kind of country we are becoming. Thank you for being here.
