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.

Has Li'l Mikey Johnson heard about the situation in Minneapolis yet? I know he has trouble keeping up w/ the news & misses a lot of things. Someone please let him know what's going on there, OK? As a Christian & an elected "leader" who swore an oath to the Constitution he must want to do something?🙄

They are monsters, pure and simple.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

The sadism continues.
Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Trump’s trying to turn Greg Bovino into the fall guy, like people are going to forget that Vance, Noem, and Miller labeled Pretti a terrorist and still won’t hold anyone accountable for the actions that led to his death.
