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.

Virtually everything Trump and Musk claim is demonstrably false yet Swann and Haberman continue to treat their nonsense as fact. Musk, who is steering contract after contract to himself, “set out to do — reducing waste, fraud and abuse in government.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u...

So if I’m understanding today correctly, the world’s richest person Elon Musk, whom no one elected, is taking over federal payment systems and employee data while the federal employees who investigate and prosecute public corruption are being fired en masse.

Can Democrats find it within themselves to call out the insurrectionist now in charge of the January 6th investigation or will they continue to believe they must defend all institutions no matter how corrupted they have become?

It’s time to stop denying what we see with our own eyes and say plainly that Elon Musk is a fascist and the far-right project he’s pushing globally poses a serious threat.
He needs to be stopped before it’s too late.

It’s funny how Democratic Party failures are always the responsibility of obscure leftists, activists or junior staffers and never the fault of the people actually fucking in charge.

I don’t know if it’s a sign of gutlessness or just too clever by half but making Jan6 all about the cops and not the attempt to overthrow the government is another way Democrats got here.

Defending corrupt and failed institutions, upholding norms and civility, throwing marginalized groups under the bus. Seems like just the ticket for Democrats. Now if only they can get some tired discredited hack to lead the party. I wonder if Rahm Emanuel is available?
