The anthem we need
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.

NYC Mayoral Primary was 95 days ago & the general is in 37 days. And Schumer & Jeffries—the two Democratic leaders who should be leading by example—have still REFUSED to endorse the democratic nominee.
I don’t wanna hear them or any of their supporters utter “vote blue no matter who,” ever again.

Washington Post uncritically repeating Trump & Netanyahu’s plans to commit genocide and war crimes. Billionaire owned corporate media carrying water for genocidal fascists.
Shame on all the politicians of both parties who continue to fund this genocide. Blood on your hands.
