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.

Can’t protest? Here are other ways to get involved in LA
There are lots of other ways to make a difference during Los Angeles ICE raids. “We need you, the people, to stand with immigrants.”

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

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.

Oh, great. Bovino to leave Minneapolis and return to his home sector, which means he'll be back in California. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

Do not let them assassinate this man’s character the same day they killed him in cold blood. Alex was a registered nurse who stood up when others stayed silent. If our federal leaders had half of his courage, new funding for ICE wouldn’t have been approved by Congress less than 72 hours ago.

Let’s shut this whole fucking country down. Stop the ICE murders. Boycott USA is you are abroad. We don’t need a World Cup or a rock band’s tour, we need justice and serious fucking help.

Despite a court order to release her, ICE has detained a 2 year old child and shipped her to a detention facility in Texas.

Trump’s tactics won’t stop us — our demands are clear: justice, transparency & accountability from ALL elected officials. 📣
From Los Angeles, to Minneapolis, to across the country, we unite to say ICE has NO place in our communities!

No Other Choice, my fave film of the year by the brilliant Park Chan-wook, gets no #Oscar recognition. Paul Mescal for #Hamnet nothing. I am mad and sad about these choices. #OscarNominations #Oscars #NoOtherChoice

Ick, there’s a billboard for the Melania documentary in my Westside LA neighborhood. Like anyone here would go! They didn’t even offer a free #FYC industry screening. And trust me, industry folks will see just about anything if there’s a reception! 😂 🥴

I am on my way to get access to ICE’s Dilley Detention Center in south Texas. To do my job of oversight. I have been told I am going to be illegally refused entry, but I’m going anyway. We can’t let them hide.
