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.

G.O.P. Congressman: We Need to Wake Up After Minneapolis www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/o...
Although i dont agree with everything said here. I completely echo the waking up part. @adamsmith.house.gov its time to lead a coalition
On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Minnesota’s Congressional Democrats are united. We’re speaking with one voice to condemn the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti and to demand that ICE, DHS, and CBP agents leave our state immediately.

Trump’s endless empowerment of federal immigration agents has resulted in yet another senseless killing. This brutal crackdown has to end.
I cannot and will not vote to fund DHS while this administration continues these violent federal takeovers of our cities.
Kristi Noem must be impeached. ICE must be abolished. Democrats in the Senate cannot fund DHS.
Trump has created a militarized police force accountable only to him. These agents need to leave our cities NOW.
The real “domestic terrorists” are in the White House.
The victim, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was reportedly a law abiding US citizen & an ICU nurse at the VA. He was licensed to carry a firearm.
Trump & Miller are responsible for his killing & are now lying to the American people.
Alex Pretti from his early days working at the VA
Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.
To my Republican colleagues, the Vice President is spitting in your face and openly flouting your constitutional authority.
Time to decide if you came here to be a Member of Congress or a cheerleader for whatever Trump wants.
Apologies to Vinay Prasad!!!!

Trump’s obsession with me is beyond weird. He needs serious help.
Since he has no economic policies to tout, he’s resorting to regurgitating bigoted lies instead.
He continues to be a national embarrassment.

This is why I think Democrats need to let the GOP pass their budget. Let the voters see and feel what GOP government means. See if Ron is right about this not being a “gut-wrenching problem.”
People need to understand what GOP rule is: Pain and poverty.
Agree.

My husband was detained by ICE today
Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away
I have had zero contact or updates since

I work with Veterans. If I told them that they "killed people and broke things for a living" they would (rightfully) tell me to go to hell.
Those that have had to kill someone in the line of duty most often view it with sadness, regret, and one of the worst experiences of their lives.
