What better way to celebrate Halloween than an all-new digital-only single?

Migration makes for political deflection and migrants an easy scapegoat, but most "concerns" around immigration are flat out false and driven by hostile rhetoric.
Reality is, on a day to day basis, people are more worried about how they'll get through to the next payday.

Ever wonder why so few athletes in North America have spoken about Israel's genocide in Gaza?
We did too... so we asked some to find out.
Answers include "fear of losing sponsorships," "the McCarthyist response from government,” and “Zionists gaslighting and doxxing people."
