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.

A private view at the 1957 Gallery on Thursday evening, where they turn basic painting techniques and rags stitched onto plastic bags and mats into money. They will be lucky if even one of these works of art sells at these prices, though they claim to clean up. Nice work if you can get it.

I've said it before and I’ll repeat it, Mark Carney is the best of them. If only he were the British PM we’d maybe have some pride and greatness left. But Canada has the benefit of his insight and strategic vision while our lot are simply bowing before a con artist.
🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them:
"We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be."
"What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)
