May we make MAGA the low point of our modern times and use this time of what we don't want to become.
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.

If Trump was a strategic genius he'd get some of those mobile theater trucks and use the Melania movie to clear the streets of Minneapolis.

MAGA: Trump is being treated badly with these protests.
Sure. Fox would've been singing Obama praises if he sent masked officers without identification to even get him coffee.

I wonder if the reason MAGA fears transgender so much is because they can't comprehend how anyone would give their manhood away to anyone other than a old man who wears more tanner than a Kardashian.

Remember in 2021 when MAGA was upset about the FBI investigating threats to school officials.
Guess they were just upset that Biden didn't use ICE.

Few people have heard of Patsy Morris. When the Supreme Court allowed capital punishment to resume in 1976, she kept track of Georgia citizens condemned to death row who desperately needed a lawyer. She called lawyers around the country begging them to take a case. #DemandTheImpossible

Have to love MAGA's dedication to enforcing 8 U.S.C. § 1325 illegal immigration that they're will to sacrifice half the bill of rights.
And that whole 2nd amendment, that only applies to MAGA.

I've noticed a strong correlation between the people saying Renee Good should've just listened to orders, are the same people who are horrible at listening to directions.

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up.
