If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

“You’re a paper man
moving fast as you can.
You hear but don’t listen,
know, but don’t understand -
can’t bear the weight, no, not a paper man.”
So fun to play my song “Paper Man” in London, UK with these incredible musicians a few years ago.

Thousands showed up to the Hands Off protest today in Eugene, OR (organizers estimated 5,000+ 🙌).
Many thousands more gathered in Portland and nearly every other city and town in Oregon - a massive turnout.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do.
They can't keep spewing carbon.
They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying.
They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

In America an ugly chapter has begun. We understand that this is our time to stand for our principles -no matter the cost. We see fear-we see cowardice. And we see courage too.
This moment calls for moral fortitude & clarity. We are wide awake now. Our best selves are rising to meet the moment.
