So Evers and the establishment went all in last minute on a candidate no one actually liked initially who speaks in word salad platitudes. Sound familiar..

Bummer. The first Cheap Trick record rips and they never sounded as inspired in the studio again.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

It’s been a rough couple of months for Nico but she’s being a good sport about these goofy grinch pajamas 😂

@bencrowell.bsky.social made this and encouraged me to spread the word to Midwest friends. I’m looking forward to it, but I would say that as someone who likes “Anahata”.

Not seeing anything official around this. I hope not: DeJohnette is one of GOATs and deserves more time.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

Yeah the thing about this is that MILLIONS of people showed up (often their first time) and saw it with their own damn eyes, only to essentially be told nothing to see here. But good luck keeping those paid subscribers NYT.
