We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks. This is dedicated to Renée Good and Alex Pretti, and in solidarity. Our version is called "Minnesota" ❤️

Of recent interest here in Minnesota is that ICE is releasing detainees to satisfy Habeas requests, and then immediately detaining again.

Huge anti-ICE pasteup memorial in Minneapolis for those killed by ICE in the past year.
The pasteup is in the Whittier neighborhood, on the same block as Alex Pretti's memorial.
