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.

On Thurs 5th Feb, don't miss Rosa's evidence to the public inquiry into #undercover #police about #spycops gang-member Jim Boyling who deceived 3 women into relationships. How many more women have been similarly affected? We don’t know because we don’t have all the cover names.

We are at the part of fascist consolidation where maddow is sharing crimethinc on Main.
Which is massive.
The Neoliberal establishment has no idea how how fast people are radicalizing away from neoliberal status quo compared to where they were even a month ago.
This is a major sign of things.
As 'Rosa' explains, the #spycops were 'fabrications by the state'. Deceived into a relationship by Jim Boyling, Rosa gives evidence to next set of inquiry hearings which begin Monday 2nd February. Don't miss it.

It may be a nod to the ongoing Undercover Police Inquiry is uncovering some of the awful truth. There's an excellent interview with 'Alison' here about the real-word consequences of state-sanctioned abuse of law-abiding citizens. #Spycops

This brilliant Chris Morris sketch was funny because of course a politician wouldn't start a war just because of media goading. But you can imagine Trump doing just that.
