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.

Marco Rubio has many titles, except when it’s time to take accountability. He may be the Secretary of State, but Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are negotiating with foreign leaders behind his back. When did the Senate confirm them as our representatives on the world stage?

Many TikTok users recently reported problems uploading videos, sudden drops to zero views, or posts getting stuck “under review.” Almost all of those complaints involved videos criticizing ICE or discussing the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Feel free to copy my message to your members of Congress:
ICE agents are killing innocent people. An ICE agent got angry at a woman for ignoring his display of testosterone and KILLED HER. Don't tell me he was in danger. I saw the footage. You should be ashamed for supporting this regime.

Congressional Republicans have surrendered their power to the president they are constitutionally obligated to oversee.
It is a startling abdication, rivaled only by the Trump’s lies to voters about what his foreign policy would be once he took office.
