I would gladly spit on the face of every ICE flunky I see. I’m an American. Just like the rest of them. He fought for those who know these horrors. Trump relies on short memory. Mine carries the lesson of my ancestors. #neverforget

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.

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.

It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

A second American citizen has been killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis, and DHS is blocking any independent investigation. When will my Republican colleagues speak out against this chaos? This can’t continue.

A little project I’m working on. Magnetic canvas tiles eventually in the shape of a floral arrangement in different artistic styles. I still have 7 more to paint

I doubt very much that they will be able to effectively run Venezuela. I anticipate severe repercussions from their trade partner China after their Venezuelan oil supply is cut off. Worst case scenario is an embargo which could destroy the US economy.
