Lovely evening with my family. Great dinner with everybody being super supportive of each other. Then a raucous game of 5 player solitaire with Meg's dog looking on as we all shouted joyously at each other. And yes, the Stone siblings are all in the same city tonight

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.

This is mostly true, but 2/3 of the Minneapolis City Council has been out on the street every day for the entire surge, legitimately putting themselves in harm's way and in many cases being roughed up for it. We will never forget.

A Million Times This. I've had enough trouble my whole life having to witness others' callousness, let alone what's happening today
I think one of the most frustrating things for many neurodivergent people is that we cannot understand why people don’t give a fuck about things that could make the world a better and kinder place - that’s what happens when your emotional circuitry doesn’t work “effectively”

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community.
