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.

Instead of accountability for a killing in Minneapolis, DOJ went after the press.

The latest bit of political wish-casting is that President Donald Trump is 'pulling back' or 'lowering the temperature' in Minneapolis. Yeah, right.

They can tell themselves whatever lies help them justify a retreat.
But the facts are that the public here has been determinedly law abiding. The preponderance of unlawful acts have been committed *by* Holman's law enforcement and *against* the community.

New in PN: 'Abolish ICE' is imperative
"There's no amount of training that can instill basic humanity in thugs who willingly mistreat women, children, and old men. ICE agents reportedly dined at a Mexican restaurant in MN before arresting employees. How will 'training' fix that level of depravity?"

Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.

Kristi Noem must be impeached. ICE must be abolished. Democrats in the Senate cannot fund DHS.
Trump has created a militarized police force accountable only to him. These agents need to leave our cities NOW.

@schumer.senate.gov Senator Schumer DHS needs more than worthless reforms. It needs to be abolished. Those funds could be better used. ICE already has too big a budget.
If the Democrats approve the unprecedented DHS and ICE funding package (3x 2024’s already record budget!) based on these meaningless and, in any event, unenforceable “reforms,” it will be among the greatest moral betrayals and strategic failures of the modern era.

Nice try, but we remember who put these vaccine deniers in positions of power… and who, once they proved utterly unfaithful to their promises, are still keeping them there.
Sen Cassidy: “Claiming that risk from vaccines is greater than the threat from disease has led to highest rate of measles in decades. Undermining faith in polio vaccine will lead to paralyzed children. What others are doing will be blamed on President Trump. Unfair but true.”

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.
I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:
