Speechless. Wow.
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.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

The president encounters a binder clip for the first time, then talks about it for a while.

Remember when Joe Biden had a raspy voice and every major news organization created a 10-person Biden Is Old investigative team?
Trump: "Whoo. I'm glad my finger wasn't in that sucker. That could've dome some damage but you know what? I wouldn't have shown the pain. I would've gone back. Boy did you hear that? That was nasty. But I would not have shown the pain. I would've acted like nothing happens as my finger fell off."

Kicking off the weekend with 10 #PostcardsToVoters to remind Florida Democrats to begin or update their Vote by Mail, in the name of loosening the GOP’s grip on that state.

Looking forward to a blue wave in November? Why not help us now to make that happen? postcardstovoters.org.

Trump/GOP took your money, our tax payer dollars to pay for his ICE thuggery! ICE is terrorizing citizens throughout the nation, maiming & killing law abiding men, women, & children! Trump/GOP took our $ that was previously used to fund our schools, help reduce healthcare costs etc. & put into ICE!

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.
