I was just lamenting to myself the irrelevancy of popular music in this day and age, but here's a protest song to alleviate that.
Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice."

I don't want to promote violence, but, my god, Kash has a face you just want to punch.
Kash Patel: "You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It's that simple. You don't have a right to break the law." (Pretti was carrying a gun legally.)

JD Vance: "Nobody is talking about doing immigration enforcement without a warrant. We're talking about different types of warrants that exist in our system. Typically in the immigration system, those are handled by administrative law judges. So we're talking about getting warrants from them."
