I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.

No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.

Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?

No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

ICE arresting observers at literal gunpoint and claiming the observers had done "finger guns" to them the day before as a threat.
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Is this what justice looks like? The government conspiring to cover up the murder of an innocent mother?
BREAM: Is the FBI investigating the ICE agent who shot Renee Good?

BLANCHE: What happened has been reviewed by millions of Americans bc it was recorded. We investigate when it's appropriate. That is not the case here. We are not going to bow to pressure. So no, we are not investigating.

Here's a new song for these troubling times. It's a rough mix of a tune we've been playing in our live sets.

Mpls is our home. The power belongs to the people. Abolish ICE.

Minneapolis ska band The Prizefighters left Spotify recently. They're not the only band doing this recently. In fact, several bands have. I talk about this all with 2 members of The Prizefighters on the IDOS Patreon (Link in bio)

We have decided that making our music available on Spotify is not within our values and best interest as working people. For now, our music is for sale on our website and Bandcamp and can still be found on many other streaming platforms including Apple Music, YouTube, Qobuz, Deezer, Tidal et al.

Rumor has it, we've got The Prizefighters (@theprizefighters.bsky.social) on the show this week but do NOT keep this one Close to Your Chest! We're excited to be brought Along for the Ride as the final people they talk to before that Hand at the Door knocks and says, "Kick the Van down the road."
