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.

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

I stand in solidarity with the more than 31,000 Kaiser nurses and health care workers on strike in California and Hawaii.
It’s well past time for Kaiser to return to the table with a fair offer for their workers that includes safer staffing ratios and higher wages.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I’ve seen two kids post that the Brown University shooting is the second school shooting they’ve survived.
This should enrage and radicalize everyone.
Kids shouldn’t have to survive one shooting, let alone two.
No more thoughts and prayers.
