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.

Raskin: ICE and CBP — these are not law enforcement entities, and at this point they’re completely lawless. They’re outside of the Constitution.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

This is testimony…

📌 Stella Carlson, “Pink coat lady”, speaks on the murder of Alex Pretti.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Although #AlexPretti is no longer with us, “WE, the People of the #UNITEDStates," will honor his name as we RESIST & DEFEAT the tyranny of racist "Above the Law" wannabe King #Trump, his Admin loyalists, & murderous DHS, his #MAGAMinions. May he #RestInPeace

Minnesota Sec of State Simon: "We are actively working right now with national partners, with other states, and of course within Minnesota to game out scenarios and our response to those scenarios about what happens if there's direct, or even indirect, interference with the election this November"

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

Ellison: "The Bondi letter reveals what this is all about. This is not about fraud and it's not even about immigration, and it's certainly not about law enforcement. It's about handing over documents of the state of Minnesota, private information, including voting information, to the federal govt."

Trump and his thugs can do a great deal of damage if not stopped.

We must not succumb to fear or despair.

What can we do now? A few action items occur to me: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/mourning-in-america
