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.

In 1945, my grandfather’s battalion liberated the Flossenbürg concentration camp. He spent the rest of his life telling its story to ensure Americans knew what really happened.
Grandaddy knew the importance of being a witness to truth. Let's be ready to stand for truth too.

So proud of Hakeem Jeffries for standing up and speaking out about this terrible terrible bill. We stand with you!
Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life.
And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans.
We will not be silenced.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

When Republicans block every effort to help U.S. citizens register if they can’t reach their election office, that’s not "election integrity" — that's voter suppression.

They can join us right now to pass the bipartisan resolution to end Trump’s reckless tariffs.
