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.

I find it funny that the fash are saying that "everyone is organised and so people must be paying them" and I think "Minneapolis is full of SF geeks, I'm pretty sure they all at least know someone who's read 'The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress'..."

Now does seem a good time to remember that Minnesota Caucuses are a little over a week away.

Non-masked MN National Guard are out handing out hot chocolate, coffee and donuts to protesters. One simple act has de-escalated the situation and helped gain the trust of people. See the difference between professional soldiers and the pretend tough guys in CBP and ICE?

Conservatives seem baffled by the amount of organization going on in MSP. A reminder that Prince died in the afternoon, and by nightfall the entire city has shut down and turned into a well organized dance party celebrating his life. The only thing bigger than MSP hearts are their brains.

I know Will wasn’t the first to say it, but I cant stop thinking about “we will never have as many guns as they have/they will never have as many people as we have” and how easy that makes it to pick a strategy
Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win
How's your non-violent working Mr Gandhi stancil? They will kill each and everyone of you right if they had the chance and you will still be writing Kumbaya.

ICE has shot and killed another Minnesotan.
A man was killed today because a reckless paramilitary force has been released on American streets against its own citizens.
Everyone should be outraged. We need Trump to remove ICE from MN immediately. Stop killing us.

If you’re not from here, I need to explain this execution was on Eat Street, a commercial corridor of restaurants and coffee shops that literally everyone goes to. Normies, queermos, weirdos, neighborhood folks. Whatever that place is in your city, imagine ICE executing someone in cold blood there.

meanwhile, Minnesotans are out there doing Christianity on its intended difficulty level: loving their neighbor, welcoming the stranger, feeding the hungry, and comforting the afflicted.
a [literal] fatal flaw of evangelical christianity is the idea that you can be a huge evil piece of shit to everyone you encounter but if you say "but Jesus is my savior" then you get to go to heaven
The father of the ICE agent who killed Renee Nicole Good says his son is "a committed, conservative Christian" and "I couldn't be more proud of him."

Scott Adams announcing his upcoming conversion to Christianity and mentioning Pascal's wager but nothing about forgiveness, or love, or changing anything is kind of emblematic of the last decade of high-profile "conversions".
