Dear internet,
Sending our love to the family of Alex Pretti and all the citizens, non citizens, immigrants, denizens, residents and illegal aliens of Minneapolis. ❤️❤️❤️ The people will prevail!
In Chicago during “Operation Midway Blitz” ICE and DHS officials told the public blatant lies. They labeled Marimar Martinez - who was shot at 5 times by ICE- a “domestic terrorist”. All charges were later dismissed.

They labeled Juan Espinoza Martinez a high ranking member of the Latin Kings who ordered a hit on Greg Bovino. They could not provide evidence in a court of law of any gang ties. The jury acquitted Martinez of all charges last Thursday Jan 22. They are continuing these lies with Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
The leaders of ICE and DHS are not operating in good faith. Their mission, training, protocol and techniques need serious review.
Dear internet, we’re working on new materials. Shows in Jan in Dallas, Feb in Denver and March at EB in the Chi. 🖤💿🖤💿🖤💿🖤
Check it OUT: a great year for rock 💿💿💿💿🩵
We recently saw Damon Locks in a small performance and interview setting. He brought up some old Eternals shows of days of yore that got me thinking of all the great music they introduced us to including MIKEY DREAD’s album AFRICAN ANTHEM. It inspired me to make this dub mix::::
