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.

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:
So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

Long way to go yet but I think it's worth pointing out that the entire rightwing media ecosystem went all in on the idea that Americans, or at least enough of us, would accept the idea that the government should be able to murder people in the street and they failed utterly

I’m absolutely certain that during their initiation, ICE and DHS goons are shown a video of Twat 47 promising full pardons. They assume that they can be as violent as they want to, and kill/maim indiscriminately.
States and politicians need to investigate, prosecute and jail these criminals NOW

The World Cup in the US must be boycotted by foreign nations. Outside financial pressure is the only thing the thugs in suits (as opposed to the thugs in camo) will respond to.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street
Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara says that the victim was a 37-year-old white man and US citizen with no criminal record and that he was a legally permitted gun owner.

This is crazy. These are just regular people out here, wearing snow goggles and gas masks, holding cardboard signs telling ICE to GTFO of MN as federal agents spray tear gas and set off flash bangs or whatever the hell those booms are.
More people rolling out trash cans, and now couches.

Hi from your friendly gun violence researcher!
Want to know one thing we did differently? Since 2022, we have approached firearm homicide (the most common type) not just as a crime problem, but also using all the tools of public health - education, environment change, etc.

The U.S. remains in a multiyear trend of falling rates of homicides and other crimes in cities nationwide, according to a Post analysis. Rates of aggravated assault and burglary hit their lowest point last year since the start of the pandemic in 2020. https://wapo.st/4qE0b4j

obviously this does not help with the actual real harms. but it massively helps with the emotional churn, which then leaves you some inner breathing room to think about what to do about the actual harms.
