What’s happening on the streets is atrocious and just the tip of the iceberg. They’re out of control behind closed doors too. History will judge these cruel people and our nation harshly. I hope the brave and principled people fighting back will help that day come sooner rather than later …

Thank you Dermot Cole! It’s a relief to hear the truth spoken so clearly.

Masked federal gunmen did that.”

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

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.

“Soul force meeting brute force.” Exactly right.
These words demand attention.

Look, if you had a party scheduled at your house, and the pipes broke and the floor was covered in raw sewage, you’d tell your friends not to come over.
In that spirit: world, skip the World Cup until we get this sewage worked out. And don’t be too sure about the Olympics.

So she voted to confirm Trump’s fascist nominees and voted to triple ICE funding, and now she’s astonished at how poorly it’s all going?!?! Way too little and too late to play the hero. If she votes for abolishing ICE and impeaching Trump, and supports a raft of prosecutions, maybe I’ll reconsider.

I think Pete’s intentions are good but I 100% agree with Raymond’s extremely cogent response. Leverage, consequences, dismantlement of the regime. That’s what counts.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.
