Yesterday, ICE fatally shot a 26 year old father in Biddeford. This is not the Maine or the America I want to live in. We must put an end to this. Susan Collins voted to give $70 billion to ICE with no reforms. I’d abolish it. We need to come together as a community and demand a better future.

Today I’m celebrating the release of Getting to Reparations by Dorothy A. Brown. This is one of the most thorough arguments I’ve read on how the federal government and state courts have intentionally worked to sanction the theft of black wealth. Professor Brown maps a legal path forward 👌🏾

a video taken by the eyewitness, Emily Heller, shows agents denying a self-identified physician access to the victim and telling bystanders to “just relax.” “How can I relax? You just killed my fucking neighbor,” Heller responded. “How the fuck do you show up to work every day?”

We are the richest shithole of a nation to demonstrate our inhumanity in the long, miserable history of this failing planet.

Still the best 2 minutes 21 seconds of electric guitar ever caught on film. Magic Sam playing Earl Hooker's cheap-ass Japanese Les Paul copy with flower power stickers on it, live in Europe back in the 1960s. The tone is in his fingers. Good lord, it's GREASY! www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2Q9...

88 years ago today, Robert Johnson stepped into a San Antonio hotel room and changed music forever. His first recording session and recorded blues classics like 'Sweet Home Chicago,' 'Terraplane Blues,' and 'I Believe I’ll Dust My Broom.' The birth of a legend.

One of the most difficult reckonings of this election is that the incentives we thought inspired voting choices - a better life for your family etc - may not be as decisive as the desire to inflict cruelty on outgroups. Explanations that don't grapple w/this point read to me like liberal wishcasting
