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.

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go.
Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

A conservative dark money group got a pro-ICE ballot measure on Colorado’s 2026 ballot yesterday. Hopes of using it to squeeze swing district Dems and juice GOP midterm turnout may backfire, given current events.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
