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.

If you survive this, America, you really need better political options besides "Outright evil" and "Too weak to stand up to outright evil and also pretty evil themselves but nicer about it".
Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

The 1 day Minneapolis general strike demonstrated WE CAN DO A GENERAL STRIKE. Once you've done it for a day, 2 is doable. Once you've done it in one city, you can do it in dozens. Let's sharpen our strike muscles.
We can not only remove the current despot; we can immunize ourselves against fascism.

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.
It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.
Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Gun owners are both democrats and republicans. We are Americans with 2nd Amendment rights.
The killing of Alex Pretti due to him being legally armed should break apart MAGA’s fantasy. Right? RIGHT?

If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."
