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 May 13, 1985 in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania State Police dropped a bomb from a helicopter onto a Black neighborhood.
11 people were killed, 5 of whom were children.
As we see ICE terrorize communities, understand that saying “this isn’t who we are” is false.

For once almost everyone is really paying attention to this Senate ICE funding vote.
So you just know Schumer & the Dems are cooking up a special empty stew of optics, procedural obfuscation, and cosmetic reforms to ladle out to the This American Life/Sunday Times white liberals.

NEW: If ICE was a national military it would be the 13th biggest in the world, IPS @nationalpriorities.bsky.social researchers found.
To make ICE less deadly, Democratic leadership must focus less on weak reforms and more on cutting its colossal funding. @ahjohnson.bsky.social in @therealnews.com:

In response to the Renee Good killing, Dems propose ICE reforms that would have done nothing to prevent the Renee Good killing
Good’s killer was a 10-year ICE veteran, himself a trainer, and recorded the killing. What good would more training and more cameras have done?

Wishing all the #VichyDems a great weekend!
Try not to think about all the hard working people being terrorized by ICE that you voted and maneuvered to continue funding.
Some call you traitors but I just call you cowards and liars.

Perennial good advice
If you ever wonder "Should I rewatch The Lair of the White Worm right now?" the answer is yes.
And if you're ever unsure what to do, the answer is to ask yourself the question above.

My 9th grade English teacher called it after the 1980 election. She was anything but alone.
This has been a long time coming and don’t delude yourself that Trump is the reason.
