This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

For certain, this will be true. The only question is how much suffering we will endure and what will be left of Anerica by that time.

1/ An authoritarian government begins rounding up people it sees as targets, using a rapidly expanded paramilitary force known for brutal tactics. Because of a lack of detention spaces, it warehouses people in requisitioned facilities. The year is 1933, the place is Germany. ⬇️

How is it that so many people in the US have never asked themselves why dissidents, recreational drug users, and the poor are in jail, while the folks in charge of the government are rapists, pedophiles, and mass murderers? That should be your first clue that your country is beyond fucked up.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people murdered by the Nazis, as well as countless other victims.
We honor their lives by rejecting the evils of antisemitism, dehumanization, and authoritarian violence wherever they appear.
Never again means never again for anyone.

I am quite sure that the Trumpsters who tried to overthrow the government on January 6 we're asked to stop. The police officers did not shoot them in the head.

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.
