This isn't finished, but with ICE's depredations, it's something I had to put into words. Three verses so far.
How do you face your kids in the evening?
What do you say to your wife?
When you spent your day beating Black and Brown people
And ruining the rest of their life?

Dear friends,
A lot has happened in few days that I have been absent from X. We've lost some of brothers-in-arms, and 2 cars have been seriously damaged.
Therefore, I'm compelled to ask for your assistance once again...

This is eye-opening.
U.S. immigration “crackdowns” evolved from slave patrols, racial labor control, & explicitly racist laws. We're where we are because those structures were never dismantled—only renamed.

When Black people were murdered by cops, the victims were vilified. To many, it was a "Black problem". In less than 2 weeks, Law enforcement murdered 2 White U.S citizens. They too were vilified.

I did not know a cat could do this. The bare part is her belly where she was shaved for her spay. Her front feet and back feet are going in opposite directions. Does she have a swivel somewhere?

What if you took a HAMSTER & grew it to the size of a BULL ELEPHANT?
You'd:
A. Have to get a *much bigger* hamster wheel
B. Have something that looks a bit like a giant ground sloth (Megatherium).
Let's talk about what Megatherium has to do with giant tunnels in modern-day Brazil.

I'm just going to point out that ICE is about 23 years old. It was formed as part of the response to 9/11 and was reactionary, performative, and racist from the start.
Its not eternal. This is not a thousand-year Reich.
