A Literary Struggle to Preserve our Democratic Republic - 2025 & 2026: Fiction & Non-, Poetry, Plays, and Opinion. V10 is dedicated to Renee Good, poet & mother, murdered on January 7, 2026, and Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse at the VA Hospital, murdered on January 24, 2026, both by Federal agents in south Minneapolis. Dedicated as well to the thousands of immigrant families and businesses terrorized by ICE, and to the tens of thousands of protesters, observers, interrupters, young and old, a passionately diverse racial, ethnic, gender and sexual preference confederation, many of whom ICE thugs have injured, arrested, and held in the now infamous little rooms and cells of the Whipple Building in Minneapolis. To indivisibility, the rule of law, and to the U.S. Constitution.
