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.

House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted Tuesday that he would not swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva until Democrats relent and end the government shutdown.

Grijalva, speaking alongside Democrats, including Sen. Mark Kelly, on Wednesday, said the delay “is not procedural. It’s intentional.” 🧵
