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.

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.

OK, I haven't considered that some of the arguments I find myself in these days are coming from people who still think solar energy and battery storage are expensive.

Already the LCOE from solar+storage is cheaper than anything else.

Seemed like the obvious outcome to me since the sun is free.

I really don't like to say it, but it's time for all American allies to force close ALL American military bases in their respective countries. Maybe that would send a powerful enough message to the Felon in chief.

This really is the test of this moment and I think it's time we speak with clarity and demand our leaders do the same.
There's hardly a meaningful distinction between ICE and the Gestapo at this point and we might as well confront that.

No reforming an institution which became the gestapo. It must be destroyed.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

I am pretty well into a script titled "you are being misled about renewable energy"

Not gonna pull out studies. Don't need to go over climate change.

Just a simple, plain conversation where we look at the realities of renewables vs. fossil fuels and I say "stop letting Republicans lie to you"

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time?

France at the UN Security Council:

"The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

Denmark's PM Mette Frederiksen is clear: if the US attacks a NATO ally, the post-WWII order is over. NATO only works if borders aren't changed by force. Break that rule-and the alliance breaks with it.

The Constitution doesn’t enforce itself. The people do. 🇺🇸✊

We’re showing up to demand accountability—delivering letters, documenting responses, and refusing to let unconstitutional abuse of power go unchecked. Silence is not an option.

Bring your letter. Bring your voice. Bring a friend.
