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.

WTF! Is privately run Prairieland Detention Center trying to kill its detainees? TURN ON THE DAMN HEAT!
Even though there's currently single digit weather in parts of Texas, ICE refuses to turn on the heat in the Alvarado Texas facility. We've watched in years past when the lack of heat has killed residents of Texas who are without power, We have to demand that ICE turn on the heat in this facility!

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

If ICE agents come onto my campus, or the campus of K-12 schools, I want the school to use active shooter protocols: lock them out, hide the kids and staff, and call the police to inform them of armed gunmen on campus.
