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. Stay free

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Have we bought the argument that profit is not the means to an end, but an end itself? What about… Joy? Creativity? Community? Exploration? Imagination? These are the real ends. Subverting them to profit as an end itself is a grotesque caricature of humanity. Kill the belief in profit. Be free.

To follow a law simply because it’s “the law” is rarely the righteous way and is often a moral cop out. Always question authority, and let compassion guide you. The greatest of us followed the guidance of particulars. Every situation deserves unique reflection on the compassionate path to take.

Text that says "The rich asking: why don't the poor just make some moves on their lives to get themselves out of poverty?

People in poverty"

And then it shows a chess board with 9 squares and one knight.

The human spirit despite war. Taxes be damned. If you sent the world's entire treasury to end all wars, I say let every country go bankrupt. Always choose compassion. That does not mean you let others walk on top of you - justice, dignity, liberty, and equity are necessities of compassion. #ukraine
