ICE Shootings in Minnesota

Three dead Americans. Three official stories. And a whole lot of “trust us, bro” from the same federal machine that keeps demanding obedience while waving guns around like they’re handing out parking tickets. In this episode, we track the escalating violence tied to immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, starting with Keith Porter Jr. (killed on New Year’s Eve), moving through Renee Nicole Good (shot during a federal operation), and ending with Alex Preddy, a VA ICU nurse who was filming and trying to protect someone when things went from “law enforcement presence” to “what the hell did we just witness?”

From the hosts’ secular perspective, the through-line isn’t “oops, tragic misunderstanding,” it’s power, propaganda, and zero accountability, backed by institutions that seem more interested in controlling the narrative than investigating the dead. They tear into the whiplash between video evidence and official claims, the way “self-defense” gets trotted out like a magic spell, and how quickly the rhetoric shifts into demonizing victims and protesters.

And because this is Sacrilegious Discourse, it’s not just politics, it’s the moral rot underneath it: the Christian nationalist apathy, the authoritarian fetish for “just comply,” and the absolute refusal to treat human life as anything but collateral. The episode lands on a rallying cry: stay informed, stay loud, stay together… and don’t let the bastards grind you down.
