When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?

An illustration of a young women yanking a weed out of a bed of marigolds. The primary colours of the piece are deep green and a saffron yellow, with some brown and moss green tones as well. The camera is looking up at the young girl with a forced perspective, as she pulls out the weed while leaning back. The text reads: PULL FASCISM UP BY THE ROOT.

I'm ecstatic over Zohran's election, but I agree, and people need to prepare for how much opposition there will be from the machine. Being very vocal and organized for the policies (less the politician) is VERY important, otherwise Zohran will just be this century's John Purroy Mitchel.

Transcript: Gregory Bovino says arrestees in downtown Chicago chosen partly based on ‘how they look’
WBEZ reporter Chip Mitchell spoke with U.S. Border Patrol commander about a deportation blitz downtown and in the upscale River North neighborhood. Here is the transcript and unedited audio interview.

This might be totally asinine, but I feel like the majority of musicians in my community have embraced more traditional concepts and form over the last few years (self included), and I wonder how much of that is a unconscious reaction to the political times vs us growing older and more knowledgable.
