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.

Netanyahu was never a man to let a hideous disaster go to waste.

Although the ICC indicted war criminal instinctively went for an opportunistic 'Land Grab' what put wind into the sails of his idea was a bunch of shameless US real estate spivs.
CNN 🇺🇸 reporting on illegal 🇮🇱 settler violence in the West Bank 🇵🇸:

•14% of land taken since October ‘23
•8 🇮🇱 attacks a day on Palestinians 🇵🇸
•Attacks supported by the 🇮🇱 ‘army’

It’s never been ‘defence’
It’s always been a land grab.

Remember the Bundy insanity during the Obama years? Armed guys occupied a federal office and one of their buddies took position with a sniper rifle aimed at federal agents?

Exactly how many of those guys were shot and killed?

The GOP love to attack murdered Americans.
Kyle Rittenhouse traveled to another community with an assault rifle and the cops threw him a bottle of water and said they were glad he was there.

So...
- ICE was staying in a hotel
- The hotel management worried they might go after an employee
- They informed ICE of the legal status, which permitted the employee to live and work in the US
- ICE promises they'll leave him alone
- Then they arrest the guy anyway
JUST IN: ICE agents in Minnesota arrested an employee at the St. Louis Park Homewood Suites — where they were staying to help carry out Operation Metro Surge.

A federal judge just ordered the man's release.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.

He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.

At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.

Wael died on Friday at age 30.

ICE caused his death.

They didn’t get to say goodbye.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
