Peter Cook on “those wonderful Berlin cabarets which did so much to stop the rise of Hitler and prevent the outbreak of the Second World War,” notwithstanding, fascists hate artists because empathy highlights their hatefulness & renders them ridiculous.
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.

The No Kings coalition will be running ongoing ICE watch trainings to prepare as many Americans as possible to non-violently protect themselves and their neighbors from an increasingly fascist secret police.
Our first Eyes on ICE training brought in over 200,000 people. We hope to train millions.

This is crazy if it goes ahead in any form. The cuts as outlined would only save around £60 million, ie a rounding error against the total education budget.
