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

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

Seriously. Impeach and Remove. No fucking joke. Starting a war without Congressional Approval is impeachable. Remove the MF with declining health. He’s trying to destroy the world just because he’s dying. Remove him.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

The gop had leverage in the shutdown fight by trying to end snap benefits and literally starve out Americans until the Dems caved. Interestingly, it ended just as private jets were about to be grounded. That's leverage a future progressive POTUS can use in a future fight against the wealthy.

These are the kinds of articles that makes me want to start a youtube channel and just rant about all the right wing economic nonsense that's being forced on the younger generation so I feel like someone will listen, because the people talking at you on the TV won't.

I don't support the filibuster. I haven't in the past and I still don't. I'm happy the Dems are using it to save my healthcare, but I still oppose it. The magats getting rid of it would be a short term gain for them only. They've passed most of their agenda through SCOTUS instead of congress anyway.

Said the defendant: "Well I wasn't expecting the Spanish Inquisition." But really, everyone getting arrested by the police is exactly how they should have expected it to end. I'm a little upset that they called it "of Ni" when it's "Who Say Ni."

A billionaire taking over much of the state's internet sounds bad. Forbes lists him as the 265th richest person in the world. He also requested a waiver to keep the financial documents secret. Is that normal? alaskabeacon.com/briefs/billi...

I'm concerned that the lesson media companies may take from the Kimmel firing backlash is to focus on advertising-based revenue instead of paid streaming, because that gives them a level of insulation from any attempted boycotts and limits the public's ability to vote with their wallets.
