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.

"There are such things in the world as human rights. They rest upon no conventional foundation, but are external, universal, and indestructible. Among these, is the right of locomotion; the right of migration; the right which belongs to no particular race, but belongs alike to all and to all alike."
The Pursuit of Happiness: Frederick Douglass on Immigration
One of Frederick Douglass's greatest speeches, supporting open immigration to the United States as a basic human right and a benefit to the country.

"So when the state calls somebody “illegal,” it is saying: you violated borders that were created through violence, laws that were written by the victors, and a sovereignty that was established by erasing the people who originally had it."

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I had this asshole's balderdash forced on me back in the 90s for work "training" and my BS meter swung so hard it shattered. I soon expended my hatred of him (and other self help gurus) to include people who worshipped him/them.

Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.
