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.

Another pet peeve: Under Trump, the term "diplomat' has come to mean unqualified, ignorant hack.
It is like the way "patriot" has come to mean anti-American, pro-fascist bigot.
