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.

A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?

When you’re outraged at the bystander screaming “Shame” and not at the person calling Good a “Fucking Bitch” after the shooting, you’ve missed the plot
Trump on Renee Good: "When she was shot, there was another woman that was screaming 'Shame. Shame Shame Shame.' So loud. Like a professional opera singer. She was so loud. And so professional. She wasn't a woman that was hurt like, 'Oh my heart is injured.' She was a professional."

MN Doctor: I learned that Renee Good still had a pulse 8 minutes after she was shot by an ICE agent. Yet the offer to administer aid from a physician on the scene was denied. I can't say how much that stirs the blood of everyone here as we try to fulfill our oath to care for the people of Minnesota

Please continue to share Melia.
After 820+ days in the shelter, it’s a matter of time and exposure. She doesn’t deserve to wait another year. The right person is out there.
Located in Hempstead, NY. Training funded for the lucky adopter or rescue group who pulls Melia.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you have been reposting MELIA and writing your own posts! She didn't find her home in 2025. But 2026 she will! Shes a precious soul who just needs that right home.
