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.

OK, I can't quite believe this.
Sometimes you read a sci-fi story & think, "well, that was fun - but *obviously* there's zero truth in it!"
In "20 Trillion Leagues Under the Sea" by Adam Roberts, a retelling of Verne's classic, there's a vast ocean *under* our seas.
Total nonsense?

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

The new TikTok (as of last week), under the Ellisons, is rapidly removing progressive creators. If you use TikTok, I encourage you to take some time to note the names of creators you respect and enjoy so you can find them on other platforms. Consider making a List here so others can find them too.

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!
ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Under the law, ICE is required to provide necessary medical care for the people it detains, often using third-party providers to do so.
But, despite ample funding, the agency has not paid any third-party providers for medical care for detainees since October 3, 2025.
