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.

On my way to Lewiston for the No ICE protest, but I’ve been watching the breaking news out of Minneapolis, where federal agents have shot and killed another person.

I’ve seen the video and it’s horrific.

This violent occupation has to end. ICE needs to GET OUT of MN and GET OUT of Maine.

Not me, but my parents, in their late 80s: driving in western Mass they crashed, at slow speed, into a stone wall. They were ok, but car was wrecked. Tow truck guy brought them to a nearby diner so they could figure out what to do and how to get home to Vermont.

Went to thesis reviews at Cooper Union, and I’m moved, as always, by how much *everyone* benefits from an international cohort — the comparative perspective, the denaturalization of your own experience, the broader geographical and historical context: all threats to an authoritarian regime
