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.

Chief Justice John Roberts turns 71 today.
Two decades ago, I warned the Senate that confirming Roberts to the Supreme Court would be a disaster for working people.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.
Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

I have seen the video. It is horrific and inexcusable. Another Minnesotan killed in the street by ICE agents.
At 7pm CT today, light a candle in solidarity with Minnesota.
Together, with moral clarity and courage, we demand ICE leave our communities and stop traumatizing our students and families.

Influencers should influence people to be kind and make the world better.
It seems that a lot of influencers just influence people to get angry at marginalized groups.
In this online attention economy, ignoring these hateful influencers helps them have less influence. Block 'em. Mute 'em.

A former Trump official is planning a multi-billion-dollar data center project in Greenland.
The project would be several times bigger than any active data center on Earth.
It also has yet to secure land or approvals from the local authorities.

A former Trump official wants to build a massive data center in a remote corner of Greenland. Will it work?
Construction is yet to begin on the facility, but it's aiming to hit a capacity of 1.5 gigawatts by the end of 2028.
