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.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

IN HIS BACK? WTF…..
A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN:
"I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind."
and
"The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back."

Minnesota, where a cell phone makes you a domestic terrorist. Minnesota, where a 4 year old and a 2 year old is kidnapped and taken to Texas. Minnesota, where you no longer have the rights guaranteed by the 1st and 2nd Amendment. Minnesota, where America's heart breaks everyday.

SEEING IS BELIEVING
DHS claims the car being chased rammed the ICE vehicle. The video shows the opposite.
📌 A father and son, a US citizen, are chased. The teen is beaten and seriously injured. The father is deported.
DHS lied. The video tells the truth. Excellent reporting by Antonia Hylton.

UPDATE: Mayor Rex Richardson called this operation "deeply disturbing and unacceptable." If it's true that a U.S. citizen was taken, he said, "this is extremely serious and demands immediate answers and accountability." lbpost.com/news/immigra...

I support fellow nurses!
Almost 15,000 New York City nurses go on strike. "Staffing levels are a top issue for striking nurses. The union says nurses are dealing with unmanageable workloads. Nurses also want improved security in hospitals, better pay, and fully-funded benefits." abc7ny.com/post/nyc-nur...
Nurses' union alleges illegal firings, union busting amid their biggest strike in NYC history
The largest nurse strike in city history continues, with nearly 15,000 nurses striking after no agreement was reached ahead of deadline.
