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.

Face it.
ICE HAS ALIENATED AMERICANS by slamming their victims faces into the ground, killing people, wearing masks, not identifying themselves and using “Gestapo” tactics on immigrants & citizens. Americans are resisting, as they should.
It is time to defund ICE!

While my hypocritical ass stands waiting for Costco doors to open
I know this platform is real big on the political and social justice thing so let me just put something out into the ether. Supporting small businesses, artists, and creatives (especially marginalized ones) is a step toward social justice. Especially if you do that instead of buying from box stores.

Trans Sports Ban With Genital Inspections Gains Enough Signatures To Appear On Washington State Ballot
The initiative collected 400,000 signatures, and will be one of the first major attempts to get an anti-trans law onto the ballot in a state that has dubbed itself a "refuge" for transgender people.

I figure the reason dystopian fiction rarely shows how things got so bad is that it's mundane and incremental and boring and involved complacency and shrugs and rationalizations all along the way until it was too late. Kinda like now.

Bargaining with your own brain to let you keep going is apparently a more common SI tactic than I realized.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
