I banged out a new singalong for today's ICE Out Superbowl in Santa Clara. I'll be singing it with my fellow marchers.

I've been amazed and inspired at the work of all the folks advocating for those incarcerated at the detention facility in Dilley, Texas. Recent figures put the number of detained children at around 3,800 this year. We have a lot more work to do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-Ng...

As many are, I'm feeling equal measures of anger and sorrow today. Here's a song to push back against the authoritarian drift in our land. Sending it out to the good people of Minnesota. (As always: Lyrics in the comments so you can sing along at home.)

Due to an extended bout of flu, I've been unable to get out in the streets and protest. This anthem goes out to the good folks of Minneapolis, as well as my friends in San Josรฉ. Keep on standing up. These are dark days, but we will prevail.
