Or, hear me out, the masked gang has always been “the law.” This is consistent with US history where our police emerged from slave patrols; where our prisons are new plantations.
Abolition is the answer.
Abolition is the answer.
We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

I just met with legal counsel for my constituent, Dr. Badar Khan Suri.
Dr. Suri is a global conflict scholar at Georgetown who was detained without explanation by masked agents outside his Arlington home, then disappeared without due process to a prison 1,300 miles from his wife and children. 1/

It is chilling that Republicans on the Judiciary Committee just voted to allow Trump to illegally detain and deport US citizens.
Don’t tell me that we are exaggerating about authoritarianism.

Some pre-TGS thoughts:
I think we should imagine a world where ‘great man’ ideology is actively challenged, public historical media is not primarily made by angry white dudes for angry white dudes, and where voices and stories that are often overlooked as a result of that bias are instead uplifted.

for the folks who keep asking me why I don’t refer to myself as “composer” anymore: it’s a title that locked out too many people (composers) - and still is. same with “American composer”. that one’s even worse. mainstream society, academia and the commercial music industry do this. who else?
