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 few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel has been swift, and severe. The whole episode underscores something I've been blogging about for a while: A lot of powerful people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is

A lot of people just don’t realize how unpopular Trump is
The backlash to ABC/Disney canceling Kimmel shows why it's important for businesses and the public to understand that two-thirds of Americans are not Trump voters

Trump:
On war criminal Putin: “I’ve always had a fantastic relationship with him”
On sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell: “I wish her well”
On pedophile Epstein: “He’s a lot of fun to be with”
On J6: “It was a day of love”
To everyone who has enabled this evildoer, a pox on you and your houses.

Frum: What a tariff is, is the equivalent of hitting yourself in the head. And he’s saying to the world: “We will not stop hitting ourselves in the head unless you all agree to hit yourselves in the head.”

Trump lied about the number of undocumented immigrants, so now he has to *create* them by stripping LEGAL immigrants of their status so he has someone to disappear. And the oligarchs on the Supreme Court are helping him.

Per the UN, Russian drone operators are picking off Ukrainian civilians “like it is a video game” — then bombing ambulances that go to help… then sharing videos of it on telegram.
